    John Stamos Jokes 'Trust Fund' Were His Son Billy's First Words: 'He Has a Good Sense of Humor'

    PeopleNovember 5, 2019

    John Stamos‘ son William “Billy” Christopher is only 18 months old, but he’s already thinking about his financial future.

    In a chat with Extra on Monday at a red carpet event for The Little Mermaid Live!, the 56-year-old actor joked that his baby boy with wife Caitlin‘s first words were, “trust fund.”

    “He has a good sense of humor. That’s the milestone I like,” Stamos told the outlet, going on to imply that Billy isn’t as psyched about his dad’s role as Chef Louis in the upcoming live broadcast as he might be had Stamos been starring in a different Disney re-imagining.

    “I tried to get him to watch The Little Mermaid, the movie, and he just goes, ‘Coco, Coco, Coco.’ He loves Coco,” said the star. “That’s what he dressed up as for Halloween: Coco.”

    His resistance to going under the sea hasn’t stopped Billy from having a blast at his dad’s rehearsals for the show, though — even if much of his time has been spent trying to get the Fuller House actor’s attention.

    “I’m rehearsing my number, kinda for the first time on the stage — jumping on these tables, with knives and things — and all I could hear was ‘Dada! Daddy! Dada! Dada!’ ” he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight from the same red carpet event.

    “I said, ‘Dada’s gonna fall off the table if you don’t shut up, kid,’ ” Stamos joked.

    In the meantime, Billy has been making some friends — and maybe even a few short-term enemies, much to his dad’s chagrin.

    “We were doing an episode of Fuller House, and I have a friend, Josh Peck, on [the episode],” Stamos told Extra. “His wife brings his son [Max Milo, 10 months] and my wife brings Billy, who’s never done a bad thing in his life.”

    “They were taking a picture and [Billy] leans over and bites Max [on the face]. … It was horrifying! It was the first time I was disappointed in my son. It was a weird feeling,” he added, joking, “Josh now owns my house in Hidden Hills and I’m looking for a condo in Encino.”

    The Wonderful World of Disney presents The Little Mermaid Live! airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, live on ABC.

      MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” went over the pundit class’ reactions on Monday to news that former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg might hop into the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.Co-host Mika Brzezinski shared Axios reporting that said Bloomberg’s decision to file the necessary paperwork was just a “trial balloon to gauge interest,” then moved on to his poor internal polling and the suggestions raised by other Beltway insiders for what he should do instead of run.Also Read: Michael Bloomberg Prepares to Join 2020 Presidential Race as a DemocratPolitical thinkers from Washington Post conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin to Brookings Institute senior fellow Tom Wright and George Conway, husband of presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway, have all suggested the same thing: What if Bloomberg, a billionaire, bought Fox News instead?“He does have the money,” Brzezinski said.Also Read: Bill Maher Mocks a Bloomberg Presidential Bid: 'It's About Time Billionaires Got a Voice' (Video)The arguments from the others essentially boiled down to that same thing.Rubin wrote on Twitter, “First, buy Fox News. I’m entirely serious. It is a journalistic toxic-waste dump that has misinformed millions of Americans, damaged our civic culture, spread xenophobia and insulated an unfit president from scrutiny.”Conway said it would “be the greatest thing that he could do for the country.”Also Read: Washington Examiner Top Editor Defends Release of Kellyanne Conway Audio: No Excuse for 'Abusing' ReportersIf Bloomberg does move forward with an official presidential run, he will be making a late entrance into an already crowded group of Democratic presidential candidates and will likely be a comparable opponent to former vice president Joe Biden.Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Read original story MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski on Why Michael Bloomberg Should Buy Fox News: ‘He Does Have the Money’ At TheWrap
