John Stamos blames alcohol for a bizarre appearance on an Australian chat show two years ago.

The former Full House star tells The Advocate he was intoxicated — Ya think? — during a wacky 2007 appearance on Mornings With Kerri-Anne, in which he insulted a Daily Telegraph reporter.

“When I went on that morning show, I was drunk,” Uncle Jeese explains. “Yes, I was on sleeping pills and I was jet-lagged, but I was also just plastered. And I never said I wasn’t, but that whole Warner Bros. publicity machine got involved and said, ‘Just say he was jet-lagged.’ I said, ‘No, tell ’em the truth! I was f***ing drunk in Australia. Big deal.’”

John — now starring in Broadway’s Bye Bye Birdie with actress Gina Gershon– spoke candidly on a number of topics with the mag, including his feelings about ABC’s reality hit Dancing With The Stars and rumors that he’s undergone plastic surgery.

“Not to be disrespectful, but isn’t that the place you go when you don’t have a career?” John retorted. “Why would I dance on that show when I get to dance on Broadway?”

John also opened up about his youthful appearance.

“It’s funny, because I haven’t had one ounce of Botox or any of that,” he said. “I finally got gray hairs in the past couple years, and I wore it on ‘ER,’ but they made me cover it up in this show. I don’t want to be one of those weird-looking guys who gets old but stays looking young.”
