John Stamos alleges that the Church of Scientology expelled him due to his perceived irritation.
At 17 years old, the 'Full House' star visited the church.
At 17, John Stamos almost joined the Church of Scientology, but his personality hindered him from becoming a member.
In a recent "Friends in High Places" podcast episode, Stamos confessed that his attraction to a "hot girl" and John Travolta were the motivations behind his initial interest in joining the church.
"I was in an acting class with a hot girl who told me about a meeting place on Hollywood Boulevard and suggested I come after class," Stamos said.
At my dad's restaurant, I said, "Dad, I gotta go," and then I went to the Scientology building.
Stamos said he first became infatuated with Travolta after watching "Grease."
"I was just f---ing around so much, they said, ‘Get out [and] get going.’ They just kicked me out." — John Stamos
"Stamos said, "Seeing 'Grease' made me think, 'I want to be like John Travolta,' but I don't want to do whatever it is they do.""
Travolta has been a member of the Church of Scientology since 1975.
Upon reaching the Scientology building, Stamos was presented with the "E-Meter" device, which, according to their website, is a calibrated tool for measuring minute electrical charges and measuring the human soul, spirit, or mind.
Immediately after getting the device, the "Full House" alum began playing around with it and acted like it was a phone.
"Stamos confessed that he was doing a "Peabody and Sherman" impression, but they didn't like it. He then started messing around too much, and they told him to leave. They kicked him out."
Matt Friend, the podcast host, stated that Stamos was "too irritating" to be part of the church and he concurred.
"I must have been terrible, that was pretty bad," Stamos said.
In his upcoming memoir "If You Would Have Told Me," Stamos recounts his experiences with the Church of Scientology.
"Stamos wrote in US Weekly that he was walking to his car when Mia ran out and handed him his workbooks. She added an extra book, the size of a brick, to his stack and said, "Start with this one, I think it will open your eyes to some amazing things.""
Stamos initially found the church intriguing, but soon realized it was "creepy as f---."
"One man questions me about committing crimes, inquires about negative thoughts towards Scientology and its founder L. Ron Hubbard, and delves into some unusual sex inquiries," Stamos stated. "The Wayback Machine needle jumps in the corner, and Mia looks disappointed. It seems I'm not cut out for Scientology."
Neither Stamos' representative nor a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology promptly responded to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment.
