Danny Tanner from Full House and Netflix’s Fuller House might be one of the most iconic dads in history. In real life, though, he has some serious competition between DJ Tanner’s real-life dad. Here’s what Candace Cameron Bure’s tv-father had to say about her actual dad on social media.

Bob Saget portrayed Danny Tanner, DJ Tanner’s dad on ‘Full House’

This sitcom was full of laughs and hugs. Originally released during the 1980s, Full House told the story of a single parent raising three daughters with the help of his two friends. It was challenging at times, but the Tanner sisters managed to grow up into bright young women.

That includes the eldest, DJ Tanner, who eventually became a veterinarian. Together, they navigated all the troubles that come with growing up, from schoolwork to friend troubles to boyfriends.

Through it all, there was plenty of love between DJ Tanner and her two sisters, Michelle and Stephanie, and their father. In fact, there was enough love to warrant a shoutout from the actress behind DJ Tanner, Candace Cameron Bure, on Father’s Day this year.

Bob Saget commented on Candace Cameron Bure’s Father’s Day post

This year, Candance Cameron Bure took to social media, sharing Father’s Day wishes with her dad. No, not Bob Saget, her real dad, Robert, who she thanked for being supportive towards her and her siblings. 

“Nope, it’s not [Bob Saget.] This is my real dad, Robert! The best dad in the world. He loves us kids unconditionally, will drop anything he’s doing to be there for us, will fix everything, is the best unpaid therapist, has the funniest dry sense of humor and hands down, has the funniest laugh you’ve ever heard,” Candace Cameron Bure wrote

“Happy Father’s Day to Robert. He is truly one of the best fathers I’ve ever known,” Bob Saget replied to her Instagram post.
