Ted Danson's Health Scare: A Humble Wake-Up Call
6 May
Summary
- Ted Danson experienced a recent health scare that shifted his perspective.
- The incident prompted him to begin meditating twice daily with his wife.
- Danson now views mortality as very real and humbling.
Actor Ted Danson, known for his role in 'Cheers,' shared that a recent health scare has profoundly reshaped his perspective on life. The 78-year-old sitcom star described the experience as humbling and a stark reminder of his own mortality, dispelling any notion of a 'free pass.'
This realization has led to tangible changes in Danson's daily routine. He is now meditating twice a day, a practice he shares with his wife, Mary Steenburgen. The actor admitted to previously talking about meditation but not consistently practicing it.
Danson and Steenburgen met in 1993 and married in 1995. His 'Cheers' character, Sam Malone, was central to the show's success during its 1982-1993 run. The series concluded partly due to Danson's decision to explore new ventures.
