LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actor Kelsey Grammer’s BBC interview was reportedly cut short after he showed his support for former president Donald Trump.

As per reports, Grammer spoke about actress Roseanne Barr on BBC Radio 4’s 'Today' program. He revealed that after the success of 2018’s ‘Roseanne’ reboot, he thought of rebooting ‘Frasier’.
During the interview, Webb then asked him, “You mentioned Roseanne early on, who had a great comeback but also was a Trump supporter. You were, at least you were, a Trump supporter. I’m fascinated to know if you still are?”
The ‘Boss’ actor replied, “I am and I’ll let that be the end of it.”
Later, Webb revealed to the listeners that Grammer “was perfectly happy to go on talking about it".
He, however, mentioned, “The Paramount+ PR people, less happy that he talked about it at some length.”
“They decided that we’d had plenty of time for our interview. But I should stress that he was absolutely perfectly happy to talk about why he supports Donald Trump and still does in the coming election,” Webb added.
‘Treasonous Traitor’
Meanwhile, a lot of people have reacted angrily on social media over Grammer’s support for Trump.
