Ted Danson, the beloved actor known for his role as Sam Malone on the iconic sitcom 'Cheers,' shared his astonishment at being considered a 'sex symbol' during the show's heyday in a recent episode of his podcast, 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name.' Danson, now 78, reflected on his initial disbelief when fans expressed their attraction to him, recalling humorous moments when admirers would approach him while naked, leaving him bewildered. He attributed his sex symbol status to his character's appeal, stating that it took him until the second year of 'Cheers' to accept this new identity. After the show concluded in 1993, Danson successfully ventured into films and other television series, including notable performances in 'The Good Place' and upcoming projects like 'A Man on the Inside.' Danson has been married to actress Mary Steenburgen since 1995, and he continues to explore new creative opportunities in the entertainment industry.
