Kelsey Grammer’s recent public endorsement of former President Donald Trump has sparked a humorous response from his former co-star Lauren Holly. The actor, known for his role in the sitcom “Frasier,” openly praised Trump at the Kennedy Center Honors presentation dinner, describing him as possibly “one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had.”
In light of Grammer’s enthusiastic comments, Holly took to social media to share a light-hearted memory of their time together on the set of the 1996 film “Down Periscope.” She jokingly recalled that Grammer was known for “farting constantly” during filming. Her post elicited responses from other actors, including Kristen Johnston, who described Holly’s anecdote as “phenomenal,” and comedian Judy Gold, who simply replied, “thank you.”
“Down Periscope,” directed by David S. Ward, received mixed reviews upon its release and struggled at the box office, garnering $25 million in North America against a $30 million budget. Despite its lackluster performance, the film has remained a talking point among fans and former cast members alike.
Kelsey Grammer, 70, has been in the news not only for his political views but also for insights shared by his daughter, Greer Grammer, during her appearance on the “Pretty Basic” podcast. She revealed that their relationship was not established until she was 16, as Grammer had left when she was just four. Greer emphasized that misconceptions often arise due to her father’s fame.
Grammer’s fervent support for Trump, alongside his daughter’s candid revelations, paints a portrait of an actor navigating both personal and public realms with authenticity and humor. As the entertainment world continues to engage with such candid narratives, it remains a reminder of the complexities behind the scenes in both familial and professional relationships.
