Blame it on the alcohol.

John Stamos has admitted he was drunk when he famously made a bizarre appearance on the Australian talk show Mornings with Kerri-Anne in 2007.

While promoting his former NBC drama ER, the 46-year-old actor, who appeared bleary-eyed, read host Kerri-Anne Kennerley's lines from the teleprompter and also made lewd gestures in front of her.

"I'll be honest: When I went on that morning show, I was drunk," he tells the Advocate in a new interview. "Yes, I was on sleeping pills and I was jet-lagged, but I was also just plastered. And I never said I wasn't, but that whole Warner Bros. publicity machine got involved and said, 'Just say he was jet-lagged.'"

Added Stamos, "I said, 'No, tell 'em the truth! I was f****** drunk in Australia. Big deal.'"

    Like we did not know this already. He should have been a professional, this is his job. If we showed up drunk for work would we still be employed? No.

    It is a big deal - i am sure the host of the show did not appreciate his actions - a classy professional would not have embarassed himself this way

    you are over 21 John and fully capable of enjoying yourself from time to time. Good heavens, if drunk on morning tv in Australia is the worst you do, you're still the poster boy for great stars in Hollywood. As long as you apologized for the lewd stuff toward the host, all is good. *wink* Who could really look at that face and be upset for long?
