LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- John Stamos recently posed pantless for Paper magazine.

The 52-year-old actor bared his butt for the publication's Winter issue, which also features Paris Hilton's nearly nude backside. Stamos opened up about celebrity in the interview, saying the best part of his job is meeting "truly extraordinary people."

"I especially like the funny ones," he told the magazine. "This life has surpassed my ability to describe it. It's wondrous. I've found myself in so many absolutely unbelievable situations... it's all wonderfully insane."

Paper famously featured Kim Kardashian's bare butt in their Winter 2014 issue, but Stamos isn't out to "break the Internet" like the 35-year-old reality star. He admitted social media can "drive [him] crazy," and said he "rarely" reads about himself online.

"Mostly because I'm tired of 'me' -- and also if you believe the good stuff, you have to believe the bad stuff," he explained. "[I] don't really read the comments -- but [my Grandfathered co-star] Paget Brewster left a scathing one defending me on Deadline recently -- I found that quite funny (and sweet)."

Stamos stars as Jimmy Martino on Grandfathered, and will soon return as Uncle Jesse on Full House sequel series Fuller House. Bob Saget, Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Loughlin will also return, but Loughlin confirmed Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won't appear last month.

Sources told Us Weekly the show will explain the Olsen twins' absence by mentioning their character, Michelle Tanner, now lives in New York as a fashion designer. Fuller House will center on Bure's D.J. Tanner, and premiere on Netflix in 2016.
