Kelsey Grammer has shed light on his past relationship with "Cheers" co-star Ted Danson, offering a fresh perspective on their supposed feud. The two actors had previously addressed their distance over the years, culminating in a reconciliation last October.
In a recent interview, Grammer clarified the situation, attributing the perceived rift to a period of personal struggle. "It was blown out of proportion," he explained. "There wasn't a real argument. I was grappling with self-doubt and, frankly, self-loathing at the time." He acknowledged that his personal struggles, which included excessive drinking, likely impacted his work on "Cheers."

Grammer recalled Danson expressing concern about his readiness on set. "Ted mentioned he was frustrated that I wasn't always prepared," Grammer shared. "I acknowledged his concern, and that was essentially the extent of it." He speculated that Danson might have distanced himself to protect their working relationship, adding, "Maybe he felt he needed to step back. I'm not entirely sure."
The reconciliation between the two actors occurred on the "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast, hosted by Danson and Woody Harrelson. Danson expressed regret over the lost years, apologizing to Grammer for any part he played in their estrangement. Grammer graciously accepted the apology, and the two reminisced about their shared past, including a memorable piece of advice Danson offered Grammer on his 40th birthday.

Danson's apology centered on a feeling that he had "missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer," taking responsibility for the distance that had grown between them. Grammer, in turn, shared a fond anecdote about Danson telling him that turning 40 meant he was "finally worth having a conversation with." The exchange highlighted the warmth and humor that characterized their relationship, despite the period of estrangement.


The conversation concluded with Grammer expressing his enduring affection for Danson, putting the past behind them and reaffirming their bond.
