Kelsey Grammer vows to live to 140 years old
Kelsey Grammer has the acting chops of a classic thespian, and he's determined to live long enough to tell the next 10 generations of actors.
The former Cheers and Frasier star had a near-deadly heart attack back in May 2008, but the 54-year-old boasted to the New York Post that his number isn't nearly up yet.
"One day I asked: How old am I going to be when I die?" Grammer told the Post in a short interview. "And I had the Bible in front of me so I just closed my eyes, opened it up to a page in the Book of Job and I pointed. There was a reading that said when I die I am going to be 140 years old. And I like that."The actor says he doesn't go to church much, but reading the Bible has helped through his failed marriages and other of life's little challenges.
"I'm fine with the Book of Matthew because there's a lot in there about working out your own salvation."
We'll drink to that, Kelsey.
