Candace Cameron Bure expressed her gratitude for growing up with the 'Full House' cast.
Candace Cameron Bure Credits 'Full House' Cast With Making Her Feel Supported in the Entertainment Industry: 'It Makes All the Difference'
Candace Cameron Bure is grateful for her Full House cast members.
The blonde beauty, 48, shot to fame in 1987 on the hit ABC series at age 11. Despite being young while working in the entertainment industry, the people she was surrounded by made her feel safe and supported.
Candace Cameron Bure said the support from the 'Full House' cast was pivotal in her Hollywood experience.
"It makes all the difference," Bure emphasized in a recent interview about her "second family" and their bond. "The people you work with are the ones who make or break the experience."
"I've spent so many, so many years playing that character," The View alum said of her portrayal of D.J. Tanner on both the original show and its spinoff, Fuller House. "Truly, the friendships that have come with it have been amazing. They've been lifelong. And so that's the best part about it."
Candace Cameron Bure was 11 when she got her role on 'Full House.'
Bure starting her career when she was only a child presented its own set of challenges, however, "it looked very different back then," she pointed out.
"We didn't have social media, and it was low-key. So, I didn't have the pressures as a child actor as a lot of the kids do today because there's just so much more that's built around it with press and social media and brands and all that kind of stuff," the Hallmark star explained.
Candace Cameron Bure said the pressures of being a child star were different for her than they are today.
With the craziness of Tinseltown, Bure noted that her parents were "very protective" of her, which led to a positive experience. "I loved acting. I loved going to work every day and being on the show was wonderful," she said.
"Of course, yes, there were lots of fans when I would go out and all that kind of stuff. But other than at work, I didn't participate in a lot of the Hollywood things. My parents sheltered me from that, which I think is the very reason why I'm still in the entertainment industry today," the Christmas Under Wraps actress revealed.

This is far from the first time Bure has publicly gushed over her television family, especially after the tragic loss of her on-screen father Bob Saget in 2022.
"It's always going to be a special but hard day in our lives," she explained in a January 2024 interview of the funny man's passing. "We're always going to honor Bob for the rest of our lives and probably together and probably publicly because we love him so much and want to keep his memory alive. We're family through and through."
