Dave Coulierhas nothing but good things to say about his formerFull Housecostar,Lori Loughlin.
In an interview withE! News, the actor opened up about his friendship with Loughlin over the years and the “strange turn” her life had taken after her involvement with thecollege admissions scandal.
While speaking highly of his costar, Coulier, 62, revealed that he never would’ve expected Loughlin, 57, to be theFull Housecast member that was put behind bars.
“If you would have said at the beginning ofFull House, ‘Who’s the one person who’s going to end up going to jail?’ Lori was last on the list,” Coulier told the outlet.
“Everyone has their opinion,” he added of Loughlin’s involvement in the scandal. “There’s a lot of untold story underneath that I don’t think a lot of people know. We all make mistakes.”
Since their time on the beloved sitcom, it seems as though little has changed for the costars and their tight-knit bond.
“Lori is my best girl friend in life,” Coulier shared. “We make each other laugh really hard, through the tough times and the fun times.”
The actor, who is currently starring in and executive producing the new comedy seriesLive+Local, also referred to Loughlin as a “wonderful human being.”

Since then, Loughlin hasreturned to actingand recentlyattended her first red carpetevent. She also appeared onJohn Stamos' Instagram Live this monthto pay tributeto their lateFull Housecostar,Bob Saget, whodiedon Jan. 9.
“People I don’t know [come] up to me and [say], ‘I’m so sorry for your loss’ and people [talk] to me about how much Bob meant to them,” she said in her rare social media appearance. “He was everyone’s dad, he was part of everyone’s childhood… it’s still hard for me to believe that Bob is gone.”
Coulier also spoke about Saget’s passing with E! News and noted that the bond between theFull Housecast has gotten even stronger following the tragedy. “We realize how precious life is and how quickly this clock is ticking,” he explained.

Coulier, who was known for playing Joey Gladstone on the sitcom, expressedsimilar sentiments in March while chatting with PEOPLEat thefirst-ever 90s Con.
“We pull together as a family during moments like this,” he explained. “We’ve pretty much experienced everything that a real family can experience. Getting picked up, getting canceled, marriages, divorces, births, deaths. I mean, it’s pretty much what every family goes through. And we’ve stuck together through all of it.”
Coulier added: “It’s incredible to have a group of people in our lives like this, where we know we’re going to get that instant support system. It’s pretty special.”
In addition to Coulier, Loughlin, Saget and Stamos,Full Housealso starredCandace Cameron Bure,Jodie Sweetin,Mary-KateandAshley Olsen,Andrea Barber, andScott Weinger.
