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.

    And I just lost all respect for him, along with any desire to ever see him on screen ever again.

      Grammer never went full “Kirk Cameron” with his professional career, but he’s always been super right-wing, and the guy has some notable bible thumper and anti-abortion flicks on his IMDB page. He’s done a decent job of keeping his fringy beliefs out of the press.

      I disagree with his stand but think it doesn’t make sense to cut him off. Let him explain it, let him dig his own hole, let the ideas be questioned. It’s the BBC not Fox.

        They’re not calling for him to be “cancelled”. They’re just not going to view his stuff anymore. Any individual doesn’t need a reason to stop doing something they’ve engaged in willingly. Unless you didn’t mean to reply to the comment you did.
