Uncle Jesse seems to be missing the Olsen twins – not that I can blame him, they were freaking adorable when they were babies… and weighed more than they do now. But he’s told OK Magazine that he’s ready to have kids, and is fully embracing the idea of adoption. As much as it’s fun to make a “biological clock” joke about a guy (because biological clock jokes never get old, right?) I think it’s awesome that a single man is publicly proclaiming his desire to have and/or adopt kids.

“John Stamos played uncle Jesse on the ’80s sitcom ”Full House.” Now he wants to be a father. ‘If I don’t have kids soon, I am going to adopt,’ the 44-year-old actor tells OK! magazine in its latest issue, on newsstands Friday. ‘Even if I do have kids, I think I will (adopt). I always thought to myself that I would be a better father later on in life.’

“Stamos and Rebecca Romijn divorced in 2005, nearly a year after they announced they were separating after five years of marriage. Romijn, 34, married Jerry O’Connell in July. ‘Right after I got divorced or separated, I was like, ‘I’ve got to find somebody,’ Stamos says. ‘Then I went through a phase where I hated dating. Now I’m kind of embracing it.’

“Stamos, who co-stars on the NBC medical drama ‘ER,’ says he doesn’t find dating hard now. ‘I think I’m probably easier to date,’ he says. ‘I’m certainly not as wild as I used to be.’ Of his marriage to Romijn, Stamos says: ‘It burned really bright, and I kind of knew it was going to burn out at some point. But it was a great ride and I don’t regret one minute of it.’

Not as wild as he used to be? Isn’t this the guy who played backup for the Beach Boys at random intervals during the ‘80s? Yeah I’ve head all that sand can get lodged in some really weird places, I guess that could lead to some unconventionally wild times. There was that one incident where he was kind of out of it in an interview, which he ended up blaming on sleeping pills. So I’m glad his wild and crazy days are behind him. Seriously, if there’s a person in Hollywood who you can tease for not being all that crazy, that’s a really good thing.

I’m all for the notion of having kids and adopting them. A little of the Brangelina lifestyle, if you will. And he made a good second father on television, so I’m pretty sure that means he’s going to be damn good at it in real life too.
