Dave Coulier got a round of cheers this week as he attended the Detroit Red Wings’ Hockey Fights Cancer night on Thursday at Little Caesars Arena.
The Full House star was spotted alongside co-star Andrea Barger during the game’s lookalike cam. When the 66-year-old was pictured on screen, the area erupted in cheers for the actor as Barger clapped and smiled along. The two were also seen sporting the hockey teams’ official jerseys, but in purple to honor the fight against cancer.
Coulier is notably known for playing the role of Joey in the 1987 ABC sitcom. He played the role for the series’ entire run of eight seasons until its finale in 1995. Barger, on the other hand, played the beloved role of Kimmy Granger, the best friend to D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron).
View this post on InstagramTheir appearance at the Detroit Red Wings game was not only a Full House reunion between the castmates, but a heartfelt nod to Coulier. In 2024, the actor announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a broad group of blood cancers that starts in the white blood cells. Five months later, Coulier announced he was cancer-free.
Almost a year after his cancer diagnosis and recovery, Coulier sadly revealed in December 205 that he had been diagnosed with p16 squamous carcinoma. It’s a form of cancer most commonly found in the back of the throat, base of the tongue, and tonsils. Tests for the cancer show a positive result for the p16 protein. Coulier announced this past February that he was in remission.
In May, the actor took to Instagram to address fans’ concerns over his changed appearance and voice. He posted that treatments had an impact on his body, especially his voice, as the cancer affected his throat.
“The last time I did some of you said that I look differently, and I sound differently, and I do,” he posted. “What you’re seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat. I haven’t been able to eat solid food in months. So I’ve lost 45 pounds, that’s what you’re seeing.”
Fans flooded the actor with caring comments, even Barger herself, who wrote, “You’re as handsome and funny as ever. I love you, poo poo!”
This week, Coulier’s co-star Jodie Sweetin revealed at the Scleroderma Research Foundation’s Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine fundraising event with PEOPLE that the actor is “doing great.”
