Ted Danson regrets 'missing out on 30 years of Kelsey Grammer'

Ted Danson starred on the iconic sitcom

Ted Danson has apologised after missing out on "the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer".

The 76-year-old actor has recalled falling out with Kelsey, his former 'Cheers' co-star, who played Dr Frasier Crane on the NBC sitcom and its spin-off series, 'Frasier'.

Speaking to Kelsey on the 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name' podcast, Ted said: "This isn't self-deprecating, but I wish ... I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the 'Cheers' years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once."

Kelsey, 69, then replied: "Yeah, you came and told me that one day."

Ted continued: "And it's stuck in both of our memories. But I feel like, f***, 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, and I almost feel like apologising to you.

"I apologise to you and me that I sat back, you know, and didn't. I really do apologise."

Kelsey joined the 'Cheers' cast in 1984 and he recalled receiving some words of advice from his co-star.

The veteran actor shared: "When I turned 40, you came up and said, 'You know what it means, don't you? Now that you're 40, it means you're finally worth having a conversation with'. That was f****** brilliant. I always loved that."

Kelsey has tried to follow Ted's career advice, and despite their falling out, he's always been very fond of his former co-star.

He said: "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."
