John Stamos Bought Elvis Presley’s Hair Dryer at Auction
During an appearance on the Stories to Tell podcast hosted by musician and fellow Elvis super-fan Richard Marx, Stamos said he recently acquired the “greatest thing” he could have purchased for his collection: Elvis’ hair dryer.
“You f—king got it?” Marx, 62, said in disbelief to Stamos, who quipped, “Why not? What am I gonna do? Leave the money to the kids?”
Stamos then noted that the item—which he got at auction—”wasn’t that much,” but he didn’t share exactly how much he paid for it.

“I love how John Stamos and Uncle Jesse ended up being indistinguishable from each other,” someone else pointed out.

” one amused fan commented. Another said, “Goes to show that Stamos has always been a genuine fan – even when he made references on “Full House.'”
