E! EntertianmentIt's time to meet Mr. Kimmy Gibbler. Well, the former Mr. Kimmy Gibbler.
After adding three young stars to its cast, Fuller House has added another newbie to the mix...and you might know him as "Hot Jesus!"
E! News has confirmed that Juan Pablo Di Pace is set to take on the recurring role of Kimmy's (Andrea Barber) ex-husband, Fernando, when the highly anticipated revival hits Netflix in 2016. Di Pace is best known for his work on NBC's A.D. The Bible Continues as Jesus (taking over the "Hot Jesus" nickname from Diogo Morgado) as well as his stint on TNT's Dallas revival.
As first reported by TVLine, Di Pace's Fernando will be "relentless" in trying to win Kimmy back, though he is largely responsible for their split.
And in news that is sure to make fans of the original series feel old, Kimmy and Fernando have a daughter together, Ramona, whom E! News reported will be played by newcomer Soni Nicole Bringas.
D.J.'s (Candace Cameron Bure) kids, meanwhile, will be played by Michael Campion and Elias Harger, and she will also have an infant son with her husband, whose death will kick-off the revival.
Bure recently gushed to E! News about the new generation, telling us, "They are so good, they are so funny. Casting did a really, really good job. And they went on a very big wide search for these kids, and they came up with winners!"
Fuller House is set to premiere on Netflix in 2016.
