Candace Cameron Bure warns about ‘scary' Hollywood weight-loss trend making a comeback
Candace Cameron Bure is opening up about the various weight-loss trends taking over Hollywood. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Bure – who released a new devotional, '100 Days of Joy and Strength: A Daily Devotional Journey' last week – got candid about the 'scary' way certain fads are reshaping people's perspectives on body image in Hollywood and explained how her faith has helped her in her own journey of finding and embracing body positivity. 'It can be scary, although I feel like this younger generation has already had so much more body positivity that I hope they understand that it's a trend,' the 'Full House' alum, 49, said. 'I think of my daughter, and she just doesn't have the same viewpoint of body image that I did growing up, and especially as a child of the '80s and '90s. It's like mine's all messed up. I am middle-aged, and I still have all of these thoughts as to the perfect body and this and that, and it's troubling.' 'Yet my daughter and her friends and all of that have way less, they don't think about bodies like that,' she continued. 'So I hope that they do understand that it's a trend. But yeah, it does freak me out. It makes me sad to see everyone suddenly becoming skinny because I think it's very triggering for a lot of people our age that grew up in the '80s and '90s. It was the 'Kate Moss era' and you're like, 'Oh, this is what we have to be attractive.'' 'But we know that's not true,' she added. 'And we also know just to apply it back to biblical principles, that God does not love us more or less dependent upon our weight or our body size or our shape. He doesn't love us or value us anymore or less depending on how we look. He's a God of the heart that judges the heart, and it's all about who we are on the inside. And that is where I will continually go back to. No matter how the culture changes in terms of diet and what fad and what body type is in, I know that God loves me for who I am and my heart and doesn't pay attention to the exterior and places no value in it whatsoever.' 3 Candace Cameron Bure said weight-loss trends taking over Hollywood are 'scary.' Getty Images With drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro used as a weight-loss solution for many, Bure said it's important to understand the 'why' behind people's decisions to use them. 'I don't say this to just be a broad brush and be neutral when I say that you really do need to do what works for you,' she said. 'I think the most important part is the 'why' are you doing these things? Why do you work out? Why do you eat well? Why do you want weight-loss drugs? Why? And those reasons are very different for all people.' 'For me, I have to come down to the 'Why do I want to take care of myself the way that I do?' I want to be healthy. I want to enjoy my later years as I age. I want to enjoy them to the fullest. So I want a strong body. I want to lift weights. I want to eat well to nourish my body so that I can have a long life with my children and my grandchildren and my husband and I want to be active. Those are my whys.' 'And whether weight-loss drugs are included for you in that journey to be your best, that's up to each individual. And I kind of let that go,' she added. 'You see so much of Hollywood getting skinny all of a sudden, and there's a little place of jealousy as a woman that it's like, 'Oh, this is the easy way out.' And yet I know that's not true for everybody. And I really had to just take a step back and say, 'Why am I jealous? Why am I feeling this way?'' Earlier this year, Bure – who has three adult children with husband Valeri Bure – shared how she managed to develop healthy boundaries when it comes to body positivity. 'I've whipped my body,' an emotional Bure told podcast guests Allie Schnacky and daughter, Natasha Bure, during an episode of 'The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast.' 'I've spoken to it so harshly. So mean.' 3 The actress is known for playing Becky in 'Full House' and 'Fuller House' with co-stars like Lori Loughlin, John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin. Getty Images Recounting a dream she once had, Bure said a certain Bible verse – Numbers 22 – allowed her to view her body in a different light. 'And then God allowed my body to speak back, and my body said back to me, 'Have I not been the body that's carried you all the days of your life? Am I not your legs that allow you to walk? Am I not your arms that allow you to pick up and feed yourself?… Why do you hurt me so badly, and why do you talk to me so badly, and why do you treat me this way? I can lift you up… you have to tell me what to do. I'm following your lead.'' 'And it was like this amazing revelation in my life,' she continued. 'And the weirdest story out of the Bible, that God spoke to me about how mean I've been to my body. I never saw it that way – it's this beautiful, amazing thing that God gave me.' Bure admitted she now has 'a whole different perspective of how I think about my body.' The actress later took to social media to share a clip of the episode. 'I was so mean to myself… and looking back it breaks my heart. Learning to speak with kindness to my body has been a journey, and I know I'm not alone in this. To those who relate – I hope you can feel me giving you the biggest virtual hug right now. And I hope you'll join me in showing ourselves the grace and love we truly deserve,' she said. She said her faith eventually helped her recover. 'It was never about the weight for me,' she told People in 2016. 'It was an emotional issue.' 3 'God does not love us more or less dependent upon our weight or our body size or our shape,' Bure added. Ahead of her book's release, Bure also opened up to Fox News Digital about her personal journey of growth, shared the unexpected ways God has shown up for her, and explained how her new book will offer guidance and encouragement to those seeking daily fulfillment. 'I am always amazed because He always shows up, and it's sometimes in unexpected ways,' Bure said. 'Sometimes it's the way I want Him to show up, and sometimes it's the way I was hoping He wouldn't show up, but He did.' 'But what I've learned over the years in knowing Him and knowing His character is that He's always there, literally always there,' she added. 'So, sometimes, in the scariest moments, when I'm like, 'God, I need you with me. I need to feel your presence. Bring me through this.' And sometimes you want the win at the end, He brings you through, and you're like, 'Yes, I did it.' 'And sometimes you lose, sometimes you fail, but it's in those moments that I've realized, 'God, you were with me. You actually helped push me through, even if it ended up being a failure, even if I don't feel very courageous, and I feel like it just wasn't what I wanted it to be. The fact that I actually did it, I pushed through the fear, I had the courage, or I had the stamina to walk another step, that's because of You.''

Candace Cameron Bure Says Horror Films Can Open ‘Portal' That Is ‘Incredibly Demonic'
Candace Cameron Bure seems fully convinced that horror films can open 'a portal.' The 'Full House' alum has frequently espoused her Christian values publicly, including her preference for a meek and 'submissive' role in marriage, but went a little further afield this week by arguing that television can 'let stuff inside' the home that is 'demonic.' The actor presented her personal 'portal' theory on Tuesday's episode of 'The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast' and admitted that her kids — Lev, Natasha and Maksim — mock her for it 'all the time.' Social media users who heard her out are currently doing the same. 'Like if you're watching this, or you're playing this video game, or whatever, that's a portal that could let stuff inside our home,' said Bure on the podcast. 'I don't even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that's just a portal.' The actor reminded viewers that she's in the film industry and understands how movies are made, but nonetheless argued there can still be 'something incredibly demonic' to the results, which her guest, Texas-based pastor Jonathan Pokluda, audibly agreed with. Bure's philosophy appears to extend even to everyday products, such as water. 'I feel like it's a portal that gets opened up, and that just reminded me, you've posted something a while back about Liquid Death,' she told Pokluda. 'You're like, 'Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it's going out into distribution?'' The pastor shared such sentiments on social media earlier this year, declaring that he is 'super out' on the beverage company for a marketing campaign cheekily asking customers to 'sell your soul' to join its 'Liquid Death Country Club.' 'They are asking you to sell your soul to them and hired a witch to curse their drinks,' Pokluda wrote on Instagram in February. 'Spread the word. If you're like, 'OK, Karen, they are just having fun.' Please grab a copy of 'Your Story Has a Villain.'' Pokluda's book aims to teach readers how to 'identify spiritual warfare' and 'defeat the enemy.' His claim that a witch cursed Liquid Death's products, meanwhile, appears to be based on a 2019 marketing stunt for a run of Halloween-themed drinks. The company also claimed in an advertisement in 2022 to have bought an actual witch a Super Bowl ticket. While most customers likely see these stunts as mere promotional ploys, devout Christians Pokluda and Bure appear to be unconvinced. 'This is how he works,' Pokluda said about the devil. 'I'm telling you, he tries to disguise under that stuff. That's what he wants you to feel. If you ever are like, 'Oh, I'm not going to be impacted by that,' that's what Satan wants you to feel. That's the whole essence of it.' His comments prompted affirmative nods from Bure, who added, 'Yeah.'

Candace Cameron Bure says horror films can lead to ‘portal' that's ‘demonic': Not in my home!
Candace Cameron Bure isn't a fan of horror. The 'Full House' alum, 49, who is outspoken about her Christian faith, opened up about why she won't allow her family to watch scary movies at home. 'In our house as a mom, I feel like you guys make fun of me when I talk about — they make fun of me all the time — but particularly when I'm serious about a spiritual thing happening, and then they're rolling their eyes at me. Like the portal,' Bure said on an episode of 'The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast' published on Tuesday, June 10, with her son, Lev, and pastor Jonathan Pokluda as guests. 10 Candace Cameron Bure shared her thoughts on horror films during a recent podcast episode. The Great American Family chief creative officer shares children Natasha, Lev and Maksim with her husband, Valeri Bure, and said that her loved ones 'laugh at me because of the portal. I'm like, 'You're opening up a portal.'' 'Like if you're watching this, or you're playing this video game, or whatever, that's a portal that could let stuff inside our home,' she explained. 'I don't even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that's just a portal.' Bure laughed off her criticism, noting the irony since she's an actress and understands how movies are made. Still, she believes even making horror films is a slippery slope. 'Listen, I'm in the film industry,' she said. 'I understand how it all works. I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they're lighting it, and they're adding the sound effects, and it's makeup, and the camera, people and actors; however, there's still something that can be incredibly demonic while they've made it.' Scary movies aren't the only things that Bure is cautious of. 10 The 'Full House' alum said there's something 'demonic' about scary flicks. 10 Her pastor and son Lev, 25, appeared on the podcast episode with her. 10 The 'Scream' franchise is a big no in Candace Cameron Bure's home. Paramount/Courtesy Everett The 'Fuller House' star also dragged the water brand Liquid Death into the conversation. 'That just reminded me like you posted something a while back about Liquid Death,' she recalled to Pokluda. 'You're like, 'Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it's going out into distribution?'' Despite Bure's views on horror, she's made a career out of starring in several murder mysteries like her TV movie franchises 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries' and 'Aurora Teagarden Mysteries,' which follow her characters investigating killings. 10 She addressed the irony, adding she's an actress and understands how movies are made. Everett Collection 10 Still, Candace Cameron Bure believes you are 'opening up a portal' by turning on horror flicks. 10 She admitted that her three children and husband 'laugh at me' for her view on scary movies. Candace Cameron Bure/Instagram Last year, Bure shared that she won't let her husband, whom she married in 1996, watch any of her kissing scenes. 'I don't think it's as comfortable for anybody – maybe if you're an actor married to another actor – it's just never comfortable to watch your spouse in the arms of someone, even though it's a peck or a kiss or anything,' she said in a December 2024 interview with Danica McKellar, with both actresses confirming they 'fast-forward' or go to a commercial when the intimate scenes come on. Bure insisted that her significant other is 'supportive' despite being uncomfortable. 10 Candace Cameron Bure/Instagram 10 She also mentioned the water brand Liquid Death, recalling her pastor asking, 'Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it's going out into distribution?' Candace Cameron Bure/Instagram 10 Candace Cameron Bure also doesn't want her husband watching any of her kissing scenes. candacecbure/Instagram 'We have those honest conversations. He's like, 'I don't really want to watch that part' and 'I don't want to put you through that.' But … we kind of worked through those feelings to a place where we both feel good and supported through it,' she shared. Bure has never been one to shy away from sharing her views. In April, she made headlines for applauding those in Hollywood who are outspoken about their faith, adding they are no longer worried about cancel culture. 'I feel like people are just a little less afraid of being canceled now that they can share their faith openly or whatever their opinions are [even] if they're not congruent with some other people's opinions,' she told Fox News Digital at the Movieguide Awards. 'And, so, I love seeing this in our country, and I'm hopeful. I'm very hopeful.'

Reddit debates the best NHL players who never tasted Stanley Cup glory
NHL (via Getty Images) For each Stanley Cup champion, there's a generational star that, despite brilliance, never got to hoist Lord Stanley's chalice. A new Reddit thread posed the agonizing but intriguing question: Who are the greatest NHL players ever not to have won a Cup? What ensued was an impassioned snowslide of hockey fandom, heartache, and some legendary monikers. Here are the greatest and most argued names of that thread — players whose excellence never received the ring it was due. Pavel Bure: The Russian rocket Reddit made one thing clear: Pavel Bure was a force. Nicknamed The Russian Rocket, Bure amazed with speed, flash, and scoring ability that dropped jaws. 'Bure was the most exciting player in the nhl between gretzky and mcdavid,' a user shared. 'All time favorite player. Bure was electric,' another said to which a user replied, 'My all-time favourite player too (I'm from Vancouver lol).' 'When I think of players that stood out from the pack, Bure always comes to mind,' a user said. Most signed off that Bure was a man before his time. His speed was supernatural, and supporters compared him to skating like McDavid — very high praise in any generation. Injuries unfortunately abbreviated his tenure, but his reputation as one of the most dynamic players of all time remains unassailable. The NHL's Top 10 CUPLESS Players EVER 🏆 Marcel Dionne: The overlooked great If there's one player whose name jumped out with the sheer dominance and heartbreaking absence of playoff success, it's Marcel Dionne. 'This is the answer. A not well enough known generational talent,' one user wrote. 'Marcel Dionne played 1,348 regular season games and 49 playoff games,' another fan said, 'He ranks 6th in all time goals and points.' Even though one of the greatest scorers in NHL history, Dionne never reached the second round. Fans dubbed him the most underrated superstar ever — and on Reddit, that injustice apparently still hurts. Paul Kariya: The artist The love for Paul Kariya runs deep. An icon of skill and sportsmanship, he was a foundational piece of the '90s and early 2000s NHL identity. 'Favorite player as a kid. Sent a letter and got an autographed pic back. Mailman folded in the mailbox,' a Reddit user shared. His comeback from a crushing blow to score during the 2003 Finals is one of the greatest and saddest moments in hockey history. No Stanley Cup, but forever respected. Jarome Iginla & Joe Thornton: The 'what if' era kings Several users cited Jarome Iginla and Joe Thornton as the greatest players of their generation who did not have a championship. 'J. Iginla & J. Thornton are probably the biggest two from the last "era" or so. Both had their chances,' a Reddit user commented. 'And Iginla kept going to the wrong teams which was the frustrating part,' Both came agonizingly close. Iginla's 2004 Calgary near-miss, Thornton's 2016 San Jose Finals loss. Dominant leaders, face of franchises, and alas, Cup-less legends. Henrik Lundqvist: King without a crown Though he didn't win the thread, Henrik Lundqvist had a consistent stream of good wishes. 'Marcel Dionne, Jerome Iginla, Joe Thornton, Dale Hawerchuk, Pavel Bure, Alexander Mogilny, Sedin twins, Roberto Luongo, Henrik Lundqvist… have all been mentioned,' a user shared. Lundqvist was a wall for more than a decade. His Vezina-winning performance in goal made him an equal of any other in the league, and fans think his legacy richly deserved a Cup. Honorable mentions From Reddit Mats Sundin Dale Hawerchuk Alexander Mogilny Pat LaFontaine Roberto Luongo The Sedin Twins Also read: NHL Awards to spotlight season's top performers during Game 4 broadcast of Stanley Cup Final If only hockey were fair, each name on this list would've had at least one parade. But greatness isn't always in Cups. The players Reddit cheered for weren't simply gifted — they were icons, game-changers, and adored. That's what makes this list stand out — not merely ability, but unforgettable magic on the ice.

Candace Cameron Bure reveals how she plans to get into the ‘best shape of my life' at 50
Candace Cameron Bure, who recently turned 49, plans to be in the 'best shape of my life' when she enters her 50s next year. 'That's what I'm working towards,' the Great American Family star told Fox News Digital. 'I've been filming a lot of movies, so I don't feel like I'm at my top right now because my fitness has to take a back seat while I'm filming movies, but I turned 49 this year and I have really big goals for myself just keeping active and healthy, but going into 50, I wanna be in best shape that I can possibly be in.' Advertisement Bure said she's been busy filming her Christmas movies for the network. She just wrapped a time-travel Christmas movie called 'Timeless Tidings of Joy,' and is heading into production for another one next week. She also stars in the new 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries' series. 'So, my fitness game, once I finish this movie, at least in the gym, is gonna kick it up a notch,' she explained. 'But honestly, I feel really great.' Bure said she's been working on her fitness since she was in her early 30s, 'and I'm in a groove, and I just want to approach life and aging as someone with grace, but also enthusiasm.' 'And leaning into all the things that I can do as I get older and preparing my body so that I can continue to do those things as I older,' the actress told Fox News Digital. 'Not so much from a vanity point of view, but like, you know, I wanna be able to open the peanut butter jar when I'm 80, and I need grip strength for that. But all that comes from using your muscles and lifting weights and just basic skills.' Advertisement She joked that she's not trying to age fast, 'but it's the preparation of just being in the best shape that I can be as I get older.' 4 Candace Cameron Bure said her goal is to be in the 'best shape' of her life by the time she turns 50 next year. Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images As she's gotten older, Bure said her reasons for staying in shape have become less about 'vanity,' and more about wanting to be healthy for her family. She asks herself: 'Why is fitness so important to me? Is it because I'm trying to fit into a certain size or look a certain way? Or is it because I wanna be able to go on walks with my husband or my kids or my grandchildren and take hikes and be healthy and not have trouble getting out of a seat as I get older? And so that's what I've learned about it, that I'm so appreciative that my body can move, and I can do all the things that I can.' Advertisement She continued, 'I have so much more of a gratitude mindset for my body instead of nitpicking it like I have for many, many years.' 4 Bure said her fitness has had to take a back seat recently because she has been busy shooting movies. candacecbure/Instagram The 'Full House' alum noted that fitness doesn't always have to be in the gym. 'I do enjoy weightlifting, but it's like, 'Go out and do the things that are fun that get your body moving.' That's what fitness should be about: is body movement. So, go ride a bicycle, do handstands, do cartwheels, go skateboarding, go roller skating.' Advertisement She advised doing what you loved 'when you were young, as a kid, and what made you happy. Did you love riding your bike? Then go ride a bike. Like, you don't have to get on the stationary one. Go actually ride a bike.' Her family loves a 'good game of pickleball. It's real competitive in the Bure house.' 4 Bure said her fitness trick is to do fun activities that get herself moving. candacecbure/Instagram Aside from her many Christmas movies, Bure is also excited about her new mystery series on Great American Pure Flix. 'I love the genre so much. The cozy mysteries are so much fun,' Bure said. 'So, of course, I had a very successful franchise, the 'Aurora Teagarden Mysteries,' and I wanted to create another franchise of movies and one that felt fresh and new and new characters, new relationships,' she said of her new 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries,' which are about a criminologist-turned-crafter. The first, 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Winemaker,' came out last year. Advertisement 'I'm so happy that the first one was really well-received, and we've got the newest Ainsley McGregor case, 'A Case for the Yarn Maker,' which is, you know, it's just another mystery,' she said. The mysteries are 'fun' and 'safe' to watch with the family, Bure added. 'Nothing gory, nothing bloody, but it's like this great whodunit. And the 'Ainsley McGregors,' as we continue to make these movies, they're just getting elevated more and more with each one, and the dialogue is sharper, the dialogue is, you know, quick-witted, they're funny, but they're smart.' 'A Case for the Winemaker' brings back the main characters from the first film, which centers on McGregor's craft shop Bless Your Arts, where she interacts with other artists and customers in the town. 'You'll be familiar with them now, but you're going to learn a little more about each of them in each installment, each movie,' she explained. 'And in this one, you're going to learn a little bit more about Mrs. Whedon. And we kind of focus the story on her and her granddaughter because this mystery has a lot of ties to who she is.' Advertisement She said the writer, Robin Dunne, also plays her brother, Sheriff Ryan McGregor, in the series. 4 Bure said she enjoy weightlifting to stay in shape. candacecbure/Instagram The series is directed by Martin Wood, 'who I've worked with for ages and directed many of the 'Aurora Teagardens' back in the day,' said Bure. 'And so we're excited. This is kind of a little dream team with the three of us producing these movies, writing them and working on them.' 'Stay glued,' she added when asked what viewers should expect from the second installment. Advertisement 'Listen to the clues, listen to the dialogue because every little word, it's a little hint as to who could have done it. But my hope is that you don't figure it out in the first 10 minutes of the movie because you've got 90 more to go, and I hope you don't figure it until the very end,' she said, adding that there are always a few red herrings. Bure also co-stars with her daughter, Natasha Bure, in the holiday film 'Timeless Tidings of Joy,' and shared some industry advice. 'What's most important for me as her mom and also someone that's been in this entertainment industry for 40 years is that, you know, I have wisdom that I'm happy and want to share with from all aspects of it,' she said. 'So, I do that often, and she's 26 years old. So she's at a place in her life where she very much respects it and asks me those questions. It's not like having a teenager when your kids think, like, you're dumb and you don't know anything. Like, we're past all of that. And so I have such a great relationship with all of my kids and I feel really blessed and honored that she comes to me and asks questions and wants advice, but she's so talented and doing such a great job, but as long as she knows I'm here, and her dad, we're here and we're for her, that's the most important thing for me.' The second installment of 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Winemaker' is now streaming on Great American Pure Flix.
