ER star John Stamos has publicly apologised for his behaviour before the Australian media after severe jet-lag left him exhausted and unfit for interviews. The U.S. TV star upset journalists with his sloppy attire and sleepy demeanour during interviews staged to promote the new season of ER Down Under.Insiders claim that Aussie TV executives were so unimpressed with the actor's attitude they cancelled a string of interviews scheduled for this week(ends29Jun07) and sent Stamos home.In a statement released on Wednesday (27Jun07), Stamos' publicist says, "John has been travelling extensively for the past few weeks in Greece, Egypt and Tokyo and had a difficult time adjusting to the time difference in Australia,which, in turn, led to many sleepless nights."He acknowledges that his behaviour was completely out of character during these interviews and apologises." Stamos joined the ER cast as Tony Gates in 2006 for a few episodes of season 12.However the character returned as a regular in the recent season 13 and gets caught in a love triangle with Ray and Neela.

The actor married X-men actress Rebecca Romijn in 1998 but the couple divorced in 2005.
