We could have had Charlie’s Angels starring a trio of male sex workers, but John Stamos had to ruin all the fun. The Full House star revealed on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show that Ryan Murphy once pitched him a “Charlie’s Hookers” series, but he unfortunately turned it down.

Stamos said Murphy offered up the show years ago, back when the two met for lunch at L.A. hot spot The Ivy in the’ 90s.

“I remember going to lunch with him at the Ivy, and we order, and I said, ‘So, what’s the show?’ And he’s like, ‘Well…'” Stamos said on the Oct. 19 episode of the radio show. “It was like, ‘OK, you play a male hooker and you sleep with the husband, sleep with the wife, and you kind of work on their marriage.’

“And I’m like, ‘Uh-huh,'” Stamos continued. “Then he said, ‘And plus, you have a really cute Black guy and there’s a cute blond guy. You’re like Charlie’s Angels, but you’re hookers. Charlie’s Hookers.”

The idea didn’t immediately appeal to Stamos, who described what sounds like a pretty awkward remainder of his lunch date with Murphy.

“The appetizer got set down and I was like, ‘Oh god, I have to sit another hour with this guy,'” he recalled.

Stamos may have passed on the project, but he has worked with Murphy on multiple series since. He played Dr. Carl Howell on Glee from 2010 to 2011, followed by the role of Brice on The New Normal in 2013, and more recently, Dr. Brock Holt on the second season of Scream Queens, which aired in 2016.

Of course, after the success of nearly every Murphy production in recent years, Stamos has his regrets about passing on the sex worker series decades ago.

The actor admitted, “Now, if he offered me the show I’d do it in two seconds,” and later told hosts Cagle and Julia Cunningham, “I should have done it.”

Don’t worry, John. The time for “Charlie’s Hookers” may have come and gone, but we’re sure Murphy has another sexy doctor role for you in his never-ending list of upcoming projects.
