Ted Danson has firmly asserted that he's "totally fine" despite recently experiencing a "health scare." During an interview with Valerie Bertinelli for his podcast, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name," this week, the Cheers actor candidly revealed that he'd been feeling unwell. "I had a bit of a health scare. I'm totally fine now, but it was like, 'Oh, that's real,'" he began. "And it was humbling. Mortality is the real deal, you know. It's not just a rumor. Ted Danson doesn't get a free pass. Love his work, but..."
The 78-year-old actor didn't disclose the exact details of his health crisis. However, he maintained that he hadn't "fucked up in some way" and that the ordeal was a shock. "It was very humbling and calming, and I'm fine," The Good Place star emphasized. "I think it was the best thing that could have happened to me, and I'm doing some things differently."
Elsewhere in the chat, the Hollywood icon noted that he and his wife, Mary Steenburgen, 73, have taken up the practice of meditation. The couple, who wed in 1995, now meditate twice a day. "What it's done for me, the biggest gift of all: You can be curious about other people," he added. "You can listen, you can be supportive, caring, you can witness them. And I do believe that the rest of my life is to be curious and listen. That's the best thing I can offer."
Most recently, Ted has been starring in the Netflix comedy series A Man on the Inside. The show has been renewed for a third season.
