Ted Danson at the Paddle-Out protest to raise awareness and funds in the battle against the proposed BHP Billiton Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal held on Malibu Pier. Malibu, California - 22.10.06

Danson and his wife, actress MARY STEENBURGEN, have been long-time supporters of the Democratic party in the US, but the actor has no desire to be a politician himself.

He explains, "I had two phone calls from serious politician-like people and my brother-in-law trying to get to me. Can you imagine?

"I take a vote to get across the street. We'd still be on the beaches of Normandy (France) if I had to choose to move."

The star insists he would be a horrible political figure adding, "All I care about is whether people like me. I think that would be the hardest job in the world to be a politician.

"I admire them, they stand up and take knocks, and get yelled at and have to make decisions and all that.

"Some of our best friends are (politicians), but I could not imagine myself doing that."
