If You Would Have Told Me: A Memoir by John Stamos

A bully kicked sand in his face. It was exactly the motivation Angelo Siciliano needed to change his physique, change his name (to Charles Atlas), and launch a bodybuilding empire. Meanwhile, when he witnessed the brutal murder of his parents, young plutocrat Bruce Wayne swore vengeance, adopting a bat-inspired persona and monitoring the byways of Gotham. The rest is history.

Then there is John Stamos, best known as music-and-hair-obsessed Uncle Jesse on the long-running ABC sitcom Full House. After getting a black eye in a dispute over a girl in high school, he vowed to best the perpetrator, who, adding insult to injury, dubbed him “Big Nose Stamos.” Have mercy.
