Kelsey Grammer's costar in the 1996 submarine comedy film *Down Periscope* may have gotten a whiff of a little more than tossed salad and scrambled eggs.

After the *Frasier* actor expressed enthusiastic support for President Donald Trump at the State Department Kennedy Center Honors presentation dinner over the weekend, Grammer's former costar, Lauren Holly, took a jab at the entertainer on social media.

In response to a news report about Grammer's praise for Trump, Holly shared a memory from the set of *Down Periscope* to her official Threads page on Tuesday.

"He farted constantly on the set of *Down Periscope*," Holly wrote, drawing replies from several actors.

Actress Kristen Johnston commented on the note, calling it "phenomenal," while stand-up comedian Judy Gold responded with a simple "thank you."

Directed by Oscar-winning *Sleepless in Seattle* screenwriter David S. Ward, *Down Periscope *received largely negative reviews and underperformed at the box office, grossing only $25 million in North America on a reported $30 million budget.

Holly's post came after Grammer's vocal support for President Trump, with the 70-year-old actor telling Fox News that he thinks Trump might be one of the best leaders in American history.

"I think he's extraordinary. He's one of the greatest presidents we've ever had. Maybe the greatest," Grammer told the outlet at the Kennedy Center event, where Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor,  George Strait, Michael Crawford, and Kiss were also recognized.

He continued, "There are some things he still wants to get done, and I think that's terrific, but there was a big hill to climb."

Grammer also made headlines recently after his daughter Greer Grammer detailed her relationship with him on the *Pretty Basic* podcast.

"I didn't know my dad until I was 16," Greer said on the podcast. "People have misconceptions about me when they hear my last name because they're like, 'Oh, well, that's Kelsey Grammer's daughter. Clearly, she grew up in this way.' And that makes so much sense. I'd think that too. But yeah, I think that's the biggest misconception about me is: my dad left when I was four and then I didn't meet him again until I was 16."
