Kelsey Grammer Clarifies Scope of Falling Out with Ted Danson, Says It ‘Got a Little Blown Out of Proportion’

Kelsey Grammer Opens Up About Past Feud with Ted Danson

Renowned actor Kelsey Grammer has recently shed light on a past disagreement with fellow actor Ted Danson, emphasizing that the rift between them was not as significant as it may have seemed. Grammer, known for his iconic role in the TV series “Frasier,” delved into the issue during a conversation with the New York Post while promoting his latest film, “Wish You Were Here.”

During a podcast appearance on Danson’s show, “Where Everybody Knows Your Name,” alongside Woody Harrelson, Danson extended an apology to Grammer for a moment of anger that led to missed opportunities for friendship over the last three decades. Reflecting on this exchange, Grammer, 69, clarified that the situation had been blown out of proportion, stating, “There really wasn’t an argument.” He attributed his behaviour during that period to personal struggles with self-doubt and self-loathing, exacerbated by his battles with alcohol.

Offering a glimpse into their reconciliation, Grammer expressed fondness for Danson and Harrelson, whom he remains in touch with. He hinted at potential collaborations with Danson in the future, possibly within the realm of the beloved series “Frasier.” Despite asserting that a revival of “Cheers,” the show that first brought them together, is unlikely, Grammer hinted at joint projects that could reignite their on-screen camaraderie.

As Grammer reflected on the lasting impact of his character Dr. Frasier Crane, initially introduced in “Cheers” before transitioning to the spinoff series “Frasier,” he acknowledged the significance of the characters and relationships cultivated within those narratives. With mentions of a recent revival of “Frasier” on Paramount+ and plans to explore other avenues for the series, Grammer remains appreciative of the show’s enduring legacy and the possibilities it holds for future storytelling.

While the prospect of a complete revival of “Cheers” may be off the table, Grammer’s willingness to explore new avenues with his former castmates showcases a sense of nostalgia and camaraderie that fans are sure to appreciate. Whether revisiting iconic characters or embarking on fresh creative ventures, the enduring bond between Grammer and his colleagues serves as a testament to the lasting impact of collaboration and shared experiences in the world of entertainment.
