Former Full House child star Jodie Sweetin revealed that she doesn’t mind forever being associated with her sitcom character Stephanie Tanner. The 43-year-old told People that she has learned to accept that she “will be Stephanie Tanner forever.” She added, “And I’ve come to be really okay with that over the last 20 years.” Sweetin said that she “walked away from the business” in her late 20s and was “totally fine” and “happy” working in other fields. She noted that she would’ve stayed out the spotlight had the opportunity not arisen for her to reprise her role as the middle Tanner child in the 2016 spin-off Fuller House. “Getting the chance to come back and do Fuller and bring Stephanie back to life was amazing and wonderful,” she said. “It also gave me the opportunity to do other things because I think finally people were like, ‘Oh, you’re an adult now,’” Sweetin said. She was five years old when she started on Full House. Sweetin also told the Barely Famous podcast that she doesn’t mind when fans call her “Stephanie,” saying she gets to do what she does “because people fell in love with Stephanie.”
