Kelsey Grammer is clarifying his former falling-out with his "Cheers" co-star Ted Danson.

Last October, Grammer and Ted Danson reflected on their distance over the past 30 years and made amends.

In a recent interview with The New York Post, Grammer is sharing the reason he thinks it all started.

"It got a little blown out of proportion. There really wasn’t an argument. It was at a time in my life when I was actually going through a lot of self-doubt, self-loathing, honestly," he told the outlet.

Grammer continued, explaining it had to do with their work on "Cheers."

"It was when I was drinking a lot. Ted had just come up and said, ‘You know, I’m kind of mad at you that sometimes you don’t show up ready to go.’ And I said, ‘OK, I respect that.’ And that actually was sort of it," the 69-year-old said.

The "Frasier" star speculated, "Now, maybe what happened for Ted was he stepped away from what might have been a better friendship. Maybe he just had to protect himself. I don’t really know. But, I said, ‘Thanks.’ We were fine with that."

On the "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast co-hosted by Danson and fellow "Cheers" alum Woody Harrelson, the pair seemed to make peace with each other over the past.

Danson told Grammer, "This isn’t self-deprecating, but it’s — I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the ‘Cheers’ years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once."

Grammer agreed, saying, "Yeah, you came and told me that one day."

"And it’s stuck in both of our memories," Danson added. "But I feel like, f---, I don’t know. I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer. … I feel like it’s my bad, my doing.

"I apologize to you. And [to] me that I sat back. … I really do apologize."

Grammer accepted Danson’s apologies, and they, along with Harrelson, fondly recalled a conversation from their friendship.

"You said something wonderful to me though, too, that I’ve always, I quote to other people," Grammer remarked. 

"When I turned 40, you came up and you said, ‘You know what it means, don’t you? Now that you’re 40, it means you’re finally worth having a conversation with.’"

Harrelson joined in on the laugh and chimed in, "That’s good."

"That was f---ing brilliant. I always loved that. And I’ve repeated it. And my love for you has always been as easy as the day. You know, as easy as the sunrise," Grammer said as he grinned ear to ear. 

Fox News Digital’s Stephanie Giang-Paunon contributed to this report.

On Dec. 21, 1964, The Temptations released what is now considered to be one of the greatest love songs ever recorded.

Smokey Robinson and Ronald White wrote and produced the classic Motown melody "My Girl." It went on to become the group’s first No.1 single. It’s now part of the National Recording Registry.

"I remember being in the studio, and we heard ‘My Girl’ for the first time," Otis Williams, the group’s sole surviving founding member, told Fox News Digital.

"I was in the control room where Smokey was doing the producing, and I said, ‘Smoke, I don’t know how big a record this is going to become.’ Then we were at the Apollo. We got telegrams from the Beatles, Berry Gordy, The Supreme and Jules Podell, the guy who ran the Copacabana. Still have those four telegrams hanging up in my home today."

"They’re very precious to me," he reflected. "I just never imagined that The Temps would be receiving so many wonderful accolades at such an early stage. We formed in 1961, but we didn’t have hits until 1964… The song put us on the map."

When asked who’s the mystery girl behind the single, Williams chuckled and replied, "You have to ask Smokey that one."

"Smokey and his wife at the time, Claudette, saw us at a place in Detroit, a very popular nightclub called The 20 Grand," Williams recalled. "They came to see us, and he was like, ‘Man, you guys are dynamite.' He then stopped and said, ‘I have a song for you.’ We were young and cocky, so we were like, ‘Bring it on – we can sing anything.’"

"My Girl" was a follow-up to another song that was written and produced by Robinson, Mary Wells’ "My Guy," Billboard.com reported. That track is also celebrating its 60th anniversary.

Williams said the secret behind the song’s lasting impact is surprisingly simple.

"It’s got such a broad meaning," he explained. "It’s a song that resonates with any life event. When fathers give away their daughters at their weddings, that will always be his girl in a sense. 

"When a guy falls in love with a young lady, he’ll say, ‘That’s my girl.’ It’s got a lot of different meanings, and it gives a wide range of feelings. It’s not just relegated to a guy and a girl. It’s a way of being expressive about love."

"It’s simply a great song with easy lyrics – it’s not offensive at all," Williams continued. "It’s a melody anyone can remember. That’s why it’s so priceless… It’s just a wonderful way of expressing what a man would feel about his woman… And that’s what Motown believed in – having great songs with beautiful lyrics that aren’t offensive to anyone."

And there’s a lot that today’s artists can learn from his generation, Williams insisted.

"Look, I always tell people that the one thing that’s constant in life is change," he explained. "I try not to knock anybody in their endeavors wanting to make their bones in show business. But I have to say this, I’m not impressed with some of the stuff I hear on the radio today."

"When I hear the lyrics… I hear cussing," said Williams. "I’m hearing a lot of degrading language. Now, I believe in freedom of speech, but it’s very reflective of where we are as a society today… You shouldn’t be hearing cussing on the radio."

"I believe in great lyrics, lyrics that aren’t offensive and will resonate with anyone," he shared. "That’s why Motown was so great. They stressed great songs. They were called, ‘Songs for America.’

"I know my time was a different time… but I’m just not impressed with what I’m hearing on the radio these days. I don’t know what happened when things have gotten so relaxed that you can hear cussing or people talking about doing very naughty things to women. Kids shouldn’t be hearing that."

At age 83, Williams has zero plans to slow down as a performer.

"God has blessed me to be doing this for 64 years," he shared. "I feel being in show business is special. You can reach so many people. You can give them hope. You can uplift them during tough times. So we will always try to be a wholesome act. We will not come out on stage and grab our private parts and sing about doing this or that."

"We were taught that if you perform with the right kind of respect and dignity, you will always have people listening to you," said Williams. "As long as you give a good performance and keep it wholesome, you don’t have to worry about it too much. We were stressed respect for our audience and ourselves."

"My Girl" has now crossed the 1 billion streams mark on Spotify. Williams admitted he’s in awe that younger listeners are discovering the song on social media.

"God and his infinite wisdom brought us into that studio – I truly believe that," said Williams. "And this was a very special time during the ‘60s. Now, the ‘60s was crazy, like we are today… but it’s a true testament that a song can still be loved 60 years later."

"… Our audience has grown up with us," he shared. "We were young when we started, but look where we are now."

When Rod Taylor passed away, his obituary described him as "a Hollywood hellion, a hard drinking, womanizing, combative man who enjoyed giving outspoken interviews punctuated with four-letter words."

The Australian actor’s biographer, Stephen Vagg, said it was all true.

"Rod Taylor was a hard-living, womanizing man," the Australian writer, who penned the book "Rod Taylor: An Aussie in Hollywood," told Fox News Digital.

"The obituaries were correct," said Vagg. "He was a typical Australian of his generation. He liked to drink. He started on the radio and a lot of the actors would meet at the local bar while they were in between jobs… He was a very social person, and alcohol was a big part of that."

"He had a drinking problem," Vagg claimed. "A lot of actors of his generation did. It was… socially acceptable at the time. 

"He made a film called ‘The V.I.P.s’ with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor at the height of their paparazzi mania. And apparently, everyone was throwing back whiskeys at 9 a.m.… It was a different time."

Taylor’s brawny good looks made him a leading man for films ranging from Westerns to romantic comedies. While his breakthrough came in 1960 with "The Time Machine," he would later star in the 1963 horror classic "The Birds."

"The role was originally written for Cary Grant," Vagg explained. "I think whenever Alfred Hitchcock wrote a film, he [went], ‘Let’s just write it for Cary Grant.' However, Cary Grant was expensive to hire, so [the studio] went with the cheaper option… Rod was well-known, but not a big star. They cast him."

"The lead female role was written for Grace Kelly, who by then had retired," said Vagg. "She was married to Prince Rainier of Monaco, [and] she wouldn’t come out of retirement. So, Hitchcock discovered Tippi Hedren."

For his book, Vagg interviewed the actress, 94, who is the mother of Melanie Griffith and grandmother of Dakota Johnson.

"She paid a lot of tribute to how Rod helped her because she was such a newcomer," said Vagg. "He really helped her out. I think they had marvelous chemistry in the film. It was a difficult shoot for her because she was new, but also because she had to spend a lot of time… being attacked by birds."

"And I think Rod fits into the Alfred Hitchcock world very well… It’s a great shame that he and Hitchcock never worked together again," Vagg added.

As Taylor skyrocketed to fame, his tough guy persona caught the eye of actresses, keeping him busy as a sought-after Hollywood bachelor.

"He was a very good-looking guy," said Vagg. "He took advantage of that in Hollywood. I think it’s fair to say he had a very, very active single life for a long time. It took him a few marriages to find the right one, which sometimes happens."

"Rod Taylor had a number of high-profile romances," Vagg shared. "One of the big ones at the time was with Anita Ekberg, who was best known for dancing in the Trevi Fountain in ‘La Dolce Vita.’

"They were engaged, and they would do a lot of fighting in public, and the paparazzi would follow them… They were a combustible couple… There was a lot of excitement, but a lot of turbulence. Eventually, they both couldn’t sustain it. But the minute they broke up, both of them got engaged to other people quite quickly."

"He also had a less publicized affair with Maggie Smith," said Vagg about the actress, who died in September of this year at age 89.

"She’s not the sort of person you associate with that, but he was in awe of her talents, as most people were," said Vagg. "He said he fell in love with her and was willing to marry her, but she didn’t want to do that. 

"He also had an affair with Frances Nuyen… and a lot of his other co-stars… He was a good-looking man who was a Hollywood movie star. I think that gives you a lot of opportunities, and he took a lot of them."

Taylor was romantically linked to Inger Stevens, Merle Oberson, Nikki Schenck, Rhonda Fleming, Tura Satana and Nicola Michaels – just to name a few.

Before his third marriage to Carol Kikumura, which lasted from 1980 until he died in 2015, Taylor was described as "commitment-shy" and preferred "casual romances on film sets."

Taylor’s rugged, yet suave persona even made him a candidate to play 007 – at least according to him.

"Rod Taylor always used to say that he was up for the role of James Bond," said Vagg. "I don’t know how seriously he was considered. I think a lot of people were in consideration at the time. He wasn’t one of the frontrunners, that’s for sure.

"He was in a TV show called ‘Hong Kong’ that… only ran for one season, but it was very, very popular… He played this sophisticated journalist in Hong Kong. That’s a very good James Bond trial. You can look at that and go, ‘I can see how he would’ve been considered.’"

He did voice Pongo in Disney’s 1961 film, "101 Dalmatians."

During his reign in Hollywood, Taylor also developed a close bond with John Wayne, his co-star in 1973’s "The Train Robbers."

"They both liked to drink, they both liked to talk and they both loved to play poker," said Vagg. "John Wayne would regularly beat Rod Taylor at poker, but he would forgive the debt. They got along really well. They were both very boisterous types… They liked to have all-night drinking sessions, playing poker and having a good old time… They were friends up until John Wayne died in 1979."

"These were two men [who] loved life," Vagg added.

As his film career began to wind down, Taylor turned to television. He also began to produce and co-produce his later films and TV shows, carefully investing the earnings in safe securities that ensured a comfortable retirement.

Later in life, Quentin Tarantino convinced Taylor to come out of retirement to play Winston Churchill in "Inglorious Basterds."

"Rod Taylor’s final years were happy ones," said Vagg. "He finally found true love with his wife at the time… He’d done a lot of hard living… A lot of his contemporaries died quite young because they didn’t treat themselves too well. Fortunately, his wife Carol was a dancer who got him into yoga and eating well. I think she prolonged his life."

"He was content in his last few years," he shared. "He also hung onto a lot of his money… he was smart enough to do that. A lot of film stars at the time just didn’t, and he managed to do that."
