Ted Danson is counting his lucky stars after a recent health scare.
The 78-year-old "Cheers" alumnus revealed on the May 6 episode of his "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast, which featured guest Valerie Bertinelli, that he's making lifestyle changes after experiencing an unspecified medical issue.
"I had a bit of a health scare; I'm totally fine," Danson told the actress, adding that the incident left him understanding that "mortality, it's the real deal; it's not just a rumor."
"Ted Danson doesn't get a free pass," he joked, adding that there wasn't any one contributor he could blame for the health issue.
Danson said that the experience was "humbling and calming," and believes it "was the best thing that could have happened."
