Surprising Behind-the-Scenes Stories from the Set of Cheers

Jackie Swanson, who played Kelly — Woody’s sweet, slightly spacey girlfriend (and later wife) — admitted she had a real-life crush on Woody Harrelson when she first joined Cheers. And she wasn’t alone. “Everyone did!” she laughed, remembering how charming and magnetic he was on set.

Harrelson’s warmth and goofy energy made him easy to fall for, and their on-screen chemistry flowed naturally from that early crush. It added an extra spark to Kelly and Woody’s relationship, making their scenes together feel even more genuine and adorable.
