John Stamosis remembering the lateTaylor Hawkinswith love.
OnInstagramWednesday, the 58-year-old actor posted an undated video of Hawkins jokingly discussing how Stamos got chosen for a GEICO Insurance commercial instead of him.
In the quick clip, the musician, whodied last Friday at age 50, called theFuller Housestar a “good buddy” and “great drummer” before revealing that he wasn’t too happy with him, and sharing why.
“I am a little upset with him. Actually, I have to be honest with you because I was supposed to do that GEICO commercial. You know that GEICO commercial where he flips, flips the stick. That was mine. Originally that was mine,” Hawkins said.
“But they decided to go with Stamos because he’s better looking. But I am the best stick flipper around, sorry Stamos,” he continued. “I got this. It goes me,Tommy Lee, Stamos.”
