Blame it on the alcohol.

John Stamos has admitted he was drunk when he famously made a bizarre appearance on the Australian talk show Mornings with Kerri-Anne in 2007.

While promoting his former NBC drama ER, the 46-year-old actor, who appeared bleary-eyed, read host Kerri-Anne Kennerley's lines from the teleprompter and also made lewd gestures in front of her.

"I'll be honest: When I went on that morning show, I was drunk," he tells the Advocate in a new interview. "Yes, I was on sleeping pills and I was jet-lagged, but I was also just plastered. And I never said I wasn't, but that whole Warner Bros. publicity machine got involved and said, 'Just say he was jet-lagged.'"

Added Stamos, "I said, 'No, tell 'em the truth! I was f****** drunk in Australia. Big deal.'"

What a jackass! Why do some people feel so entitled when they are not. He is a divorced old lonely man who's career has not been as great as he'd probably like.

Yes it is a big deal John. Mixing sleeping pills and alcohol is dangerous and could be fatal. What message are you sending the public by shrugging it off? Also lewd gestures directed towards the host are not only offensive they are grounds for s*xual harassment. I can only hope you apologized to her as well.
