After years of estrangement, Kelsey Grammer and Ted Danson have finally begun to heal their fractured friendship. Grammer recently opened up about the origins of their 30-year feud, revealing that it stemmed from a misunderstanding during a difficult period in his life.
Kelsey Grammer has finally shed light on the 30-year feud he had with his Cheers co-star, Ted Danson . The two actors, who played Frasier Crane and Sam Malone respectively on the iconic sitcom, had been estranged for decades. Grammer recently revealed to the New York Post that the rift began during a period of personal struggle for him. He was battling self-doubt and alcoholism, and Danson's candid feedback about his behavior on set triggered a misunderstanding.
'It was at a time in my life when I was actually going through a lot of self-doubt, self-loathing, honestly,' Grammer confessed. 'Ted had just come up and said, 'You know, I’m kind of mad at you that sometimes you don’t show up ready to go.' And I said, 'Okay, I respect that.' And that actually was sort of it.' Grammer acknowledged that Danson may have chosen to distance himself due to the circumstances, saying, 'Maybe what happened for Ted was, he stepped away from what might have been a better friendship... maybe he had to protect himself.' He expressed fondness for both Danson and their other Cheers co-star, Woody Harrelson, noting that he has stayed in touch with Harrelson more regularly.In October 2024, the two actors publicly addressed their long-standing feud on Danson's podcast, 'Everybody Knows Your Name,' which he co-hosts with Harrelson. Danson expressed regret for missing out on the past 30 years of Grammer's life, saying, 'I feel like, f**k, I don't know. I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer, and I feel like it's my bad, my doing.' He apologized to Grammer for not making more of an effort to maintain their friendship. Grammer acknowledged Danson's apology and expressed a desire to have spent more time together. The two actors shared a humorous anecdote from the past that has always stuck with Grammer. When he turned 40, Danson reportedly told him, 'You know what it means, don't you? Now that you're 40, it means you're finally worth having a conversation with.' Grammer recalled the moment fondly, saying, 'I thought that was f***ing brilliant. I always loved that. And I thought about it, and I've repeated it. My love for you has always been as easy as the day. You know, as easy as the sunrise.' Danson reciprocated the sentiment, saying, 'Mine too.' Despite the years of estrangement, it seems that both actors are now committed to mending their relationship
