Kelsey Grammer sounded curt this morning when he brusquely told a BBC Today program interviewer that he still supports Donald Trump but, according to his interviewer, this curtness doesn’t tell the full story.

Grammer’s interviewer Justin Webb said the Frasier star was “perfectly happy” to go on talking about his support for the former POTUS, “the Paramount+ PR team, less so.”

Grammer has previously expressed support for Trump – a relatively rare position for a TV and movie star to take – and he also used his BBC interview to back Roseanne Barr, another self-confessed Trump supporter.

Frasier was on my backlog of stuff to watch. It's nice when my backlog clears itself like this.
if you support Trump, you're a traitor
Kelsey Grammar has always been a bible bashing whack job.

Just go look up his late night interview where he talks about how he randomly opens the bible to answer the question ‘how long will I live for?’ And is satisfied that god answers him by saying he will live to 160 (or some other ridiculous figure I can’t remember).

Seriously he thinks the bible is a magic eight ball and god is guiding what page it turns to.
"Kelsey! Stop telling people the truth about yourself! Paramount+ is hemorrhaging money!"
This is disappointing to hear
I could hardly stand Kelsey Grammer before I found out that he was a magat, now I want to throw stuff at him
He only mostly supports the insurrection and attempted overthrow of our democracy, so it's cool.
Fuck Kelsey Grammer. I hope his reboot fails miserably.
And I just lost all respect for him, along with any desire to ever see him on screen ever again.
Guy who was in multiple pro-us army movies is pro Trump. Shocker of the year here.
His sister was murdered in the most conservative town in Colorado. Maybe conservativism doesn't work Mr. Grammer?
He’s a MAGAt? Pathetic. What an asshole.
I had no idea he was such an asshat. I was so excited about him reprising Beast in the MCU's X-Men. Maybe they can get David Hyde Pierce instead.
If the Frasier reboot fails, will he have been cancelled?
Anyone can support anyone they like, but it speaks to your character at the very least.
It’s ok. Frazier reboot is unlikely to get renewed. People didn’t watch the original for Kelsey. They watched it for the talented ensemble and skillful writing.
Loved the OG Frasier show. The new one is cringe as hell. Without Niles the show lost like 90% of its charm.
Wow, I've never changed my opinion on someone so fast before, that's insane.
🎶 "hey baby I hear this tool's a fascist, a ghoul and a washed up joke... Mercy!" 🎶
So the courtroom speach from The Simpsons wasn't acting.
Wow Frasier, you suck.
Ok some actor has an opinion, why do I care exactly?
Is that Frasier??
noooo. say it aint so. i had no idea he was a piece of shit suppporter
I legitimately do not care about the political stance of performers, I still watch movies with James Woods, pretty much as long as they don't turn out to be rapists like Danny Masterson it doesn't effect me that other people have opinions.
Permanently Deleted
Guys fucking chill. Why give a shit
No dissenting views allowed here, Frasier must be cancelled!
