Candace Cameron Bure spent much of her childhood playing D.J. Tanner on Full House from 1987 until 1995. In a new interview, Cameron Bure is opening up about having her first kiss on the set of the sitcom and what that was like for a young girl.
Cameron Bure Remembers First Kiss
When Cameron Bure was just 13 years-old, she had to kiss her co-star Scott Curtis in front of a live studio audience on the set of Full House. She kissed his character Kevin Gwin in a 1990 episode that was titled “13 Candles”.
Can you imagine?
“I remember it was very embarrassing in that I knew my parents were standing off to the side watching it,” Cameron Bure recalled to Fox News. “You have an audience of 200 people that are watching you do this. You have the camera people, the producers, the directors, the other actors on the stage.”
“I remember I was just blushing, thinking, ‘Oh my goodness, I’m about to have my first kiss at 13 years old,’” she continued. “Again, the act isn’t embarrassing, but it’s just when you’re a teenager, everything’s just embarrassing. But I remember when Scott was cast, he was so sweet. He was really cute, and we really enjoyed each other and working with each other. So I was like, OK, this will be good.”
‘It Was So Very Innocent’
Cameron Bure, 48, went on to say that she and Curtis never kissed during rehearsals.
“And then it was like once we had to actually tape the scene, we went in for that peck, and yeah, I think he was telling a story where we were giving each other breath spray,” she remembered. “I think we were just trying to be as fun and funny about it as possible and relaxed and just break the nerves that we both had. And it was so very innocent.”
“But I think about it now, even as a parent and thinking of my kids at 13 years old and like, oh my goodness, it really is embarrassing to have your first kiss in front of hundreds of people live and then knowing millions of people are going to watch it,” she added.

Curtis Recalls Kiss
As for Curtis, he opened up about the kiss last month while being interviewed on the “How Rude, Tanneritos!” podcast.
“I was excited to get the audition, and they had said that I was going to be Candace’s first kiss,” Curtis said. “So, when I came in and did the table read with you guys first thing, I took this seriously. I knew that this was a big moment.”
“Of course, the rest of the week, you could feel the build-up happening,” he continued. “The night that we filmed it, we actually had to get it with the audience and then without the audience because [‘Full House’ creator] Jeff Franklin wanted one take of the audience going, ‘Woooh.’”
Curtis concluded by saying that this only bonded him and Cameron Bure as friends.
“After the two episodes, Candace and I became friends,” he explained. “We were talking on the phone and giggling and laughing and having fun. I remember the last thing that she and I said to each other was, ‘We’ll see you at the wrap party.’”
Having your first kiss on the set of a show certainly can’t be easy. We’re glad that Cameron Bure was able to handle it like the pro she is!
