An unexpected turn of events occurred when legendary “Frasier” actor Kelsey Grammer said in a recent interview with the BBC that he continues to back former President Donald Trump. The legendary actor Kelvin Grammer, best known for creating the character of Dr. Frasier Crane, the therapist on the hit sitcoms “Cheers” and “Frasier,” discussed his political beliefs in an interview with BBC journalist Justin Webb.
As Webb continued to interview Grammer, the conversation turned political as he asked about Grammer’s past support for Trump. “Rosanne, who had a remarkable comeback and was also a Trump supporter—you were, or at least you were—a Trump supporter,” you said early on. Would you happen to still be? I’m really curious. Asked Webb. Refusing to back down, Grammer reiterated his support for the ex-president.
According to Webb, Grammer was “perfectly happy” to discuss why he supported Trump, but the “Paramount+ PR people” weren’t as enthused about the actor talking about his political beliefs. But Webb made it clear that Grammer was happy to wax poetic about Trump’s backing, stressing that Grammer will not waver from his endorsement—not even in the impending election.
Notably, inquiries concerning the BBC interview and Grammer’s political statements have not yet received a response from Paramount+ personnel.
Amidst the interview’s usual breadth of subject matter—Grammer’s life, the “Frasier” reboot, and his thoughts on his younger sister’s murder—the conversation took an unexpected political turn, revealing the actor’s long-standing political beliefs.
During the conversation, Grammer opened up about his tender past, saying, “I spent a good chunk of my lifetime grieving and possibly stopping myself from growing because of that.” In an interview with Fox News Digital, Grammer explained why he decided to revive the hit sitcom, saying that he wanted to prove that “Frasier” was still funny, engaging, and worth watching. He drew comparisons to the wealth of personal narratives and expressed faith in the character’s unrealized storytelling potential.
