Woody Harrelson involved in motorcycle accident, Ted Danson intervenes

Woody Harrelson has shared how Ted Danson helped him after a recent motorcycle accident.

The actors who appeared together in the 1980s sitcom Bottom upappeared in the Monday episode of Conan O’Brien needs a friend Podcasts.

Harrelson explained that he “fell” while riding his motorcycle to the studio.

“I think crash is an appropriate term,” he told O’Brien and co-host Sona Movsesian. “I actually went over the handlebars.”

“Honestly, and I was embarrassed, I passed this Tesla on the left that I felt was going a little slow, but I didn’t realize he was going slow because he was turning left.”

The 62-year-old said the motorcycle was his main means of transportation in Los Angeles, but the car incident meant he was late for his interview with O’Brien.

“We lost some time while people were figuring out if you were alive. Um, your soul had to go back into your body,” O’Brien joked.

“Did you think for one second when you checked the hood of the Tesla, ‘This is going to be a huge problem?’ Or did you think the whole time, ‘I’m fine’?”

“I always thought I would be fine,” said the True Detective Star replied, “I just felt like there was pain involved.”

O’Brien then drew attention to Harrelson’s hand, which he described as “wrapped up like someone in a cartoon.”

“I did it,” Danson chimed in. “I thought it would look funnier that way.”

“Let me get this straight,” O’Brien said. “Your entire first aid training consists of helping people in a way that’s going to look funny?”

“Yes,” replied the 76-year-old.

According to Harrelson, he met Danson in the bathroom before the show and asked him, “Didn’t you play a doctor, did you?”

“He says, ‘Yeah, I played a lawyer too, so we can sue the guy,'” Harrelson said.

“His confidence, his demeanor, everything about the way he does it makes you feel like, ‘Yes, I’m in the best hands.'”

During the interview, the long-time friends talked about their time at Bottom upDanson revealed that the cast always made fun of Harrelson behind the scenes.

In addition to Danson and Harrelson, the sitcom starred Shelley Long, Rhea Pearlman, Kelsey Grammer, Kirstie Alley, George Wendt and John Ratzenberger.

The majority of the cast were in their thirties during the show’s run and sought out the young newcomer Harrelson, who was 24 at the time.

“At 37, you realize you’re not 25 or 24 anymore,” Danson said. “So it wasn’t about bullying him, we just wanted to kick his ass any way we could.”

“We started with basketball and as you find out later in life, he’s a really good basketball player, so he kicked our ass there.”

Danson was referring to Harrelson’s 1992 sports comedy White men can’t jumpin which the Oscar nominee plays a former college basketball star who bullies his competitors because they assume he can’t play because of his white skin color.
