Ted Danson reveals shocking mindset at 77

Ted Danson opened up about the lessons he has learnt about age after playing private investigator Charles Nieuwendyk in Netflix’s A Man on the Inside.

Speaking to People at the season 2 premiere of the series at The Paley Museum in New York City, he explained that his character has taught him that "you have to get out there."

He continued, "I was working on that myself anyway. When I turned 70, I thought I should slow down. Keep your foot on the gas pedal, stay curious, get out there and stay hopeful."

The mindset helps the actor in several ways, "It's not just altruistic. It's good for your health. It's good for your energy. It's fun — life becomes fun at any age."

Other cast members for the show include Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Gary Cole, Stephanie Beatriz, Michaela Conlin, Lisa Gilroy, Madison Hu, Sam Huntington, Jason Mantzoukas, Constance Marie, Linda Park, David Strathairn and Jill Talley.

Reflecting on his new hobbies, Danson said, "I picked up a new hobby of doing a podcast with my friend Woody Harrelson. We've done about 150 episodes. I really enjoy talking to people that I wouldn't have had the nerve to go talk to at a party or whatever."
