Candace Cameron Bure may have left Hollywood with her family, but she is still staying as busy as ever. In recent years, the former Hallmark star has been producing films for rival network GAF and, before that, she reprised her role as DJ Tanner on Netflix’s Fuller House . While she is continuing to stay booked and busy, there was a time in her life where she didn’t act for 10 years and, now, she’s revealing what made her return.
After Full House ended in 1995, the star took some roles in TV movies and one-offs on TV shows but, between 1997 and 2007, she only had a few roles. She recently appeared on former co-star Dave Coulier ’s podcast, Full House Rewind , where the host brought up how much she and her husband, Valeri Bure, moved around while he played hockey. As the actress explained, she stepped away to handle responsibilities within her domestic life: Some of it’s a blur, but that’s when I took time off from acting.
Like, I didn’t act for 10 years. That’s once I had my kids, I was like, ‘OK, I’m a full-time mom and supporting my husband’s career, to go to games and cheer him on.’ You just do it.
All the ladies, we just do it. One has to think that because Candace Cameron Bure had been acting since a very young age, it couldn’t have been easy stepping away. Nevertheless, she definitely had a good reason for doing so.
Dave Coulier admitted that he didn’t even know if she would return to acting. And, quite frankly, it wouldn’t have been surpri.
