John Stamos says being a father is "everything".

The 'Fuller House' star loves being a dad to son Billy, who he shares with his wife Caitlin McHugh, and thinks having the little one around is "giving him life".

He said: "I was with him all morning this morning and we just sat and played music. [Being a father] is everything. It's giving me life. I don't know what I would have done without having a baby and a wife right now. I would have fizzled away into the sunset."

And the 54-year-old actor - who welcomed his son into the world just three months ago - feared he had "missed that boat" of becoming a parent.
