Henry Winkler holds his Happy Days co-star Scott Baio in high regard despite their opposing political views.
It s been over three decades since Winkler took on the role of Arthur Fonzie Fonzarelli, the doting older cousin of Charles Chachi Arcola (Baio) in the beloved ABC show about the Cunningham family, which ran from 1974 to 1984.
The two sitcom stars had the opportunity to reunite with the rest of the cast at a Democratic fundraiser held in Wisconsin in October. Many, including Winkler, participated in the event, but Baio, a vocal President Trump supporter, was noticeably absent.
At the time, Baio dubbed the event a little bizarre, given that its purpose was to promote then-Democratic nominees Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, the actor told FOX Business Maria Bartiromo. Winkler caught up with Fox News this week, when he made it clear that the bond struck between Fonz and Chachi wasn t just manufactured for the small screen.
Scott Baio has revealed that he still has love for Don Most despite differences Entertainment shouldn t be political, especially when it comes to legacy shows like Happy Days, Baio, 60, said in a recent statement
Baio s remarks come after Most said his co-star made some disappointing comments about cast reuniting to help financially support Wisconsin Democrats That doesn t change how much I love Donny, Henry and the rest of the crew from Happy Days. I just wish they had thought this all the way through, Baio said
The actor, who starred as Chachi in the ‘70s sitcom Happy Days, is coming forward after his co-star said he made some disappointing comments about the cast reuniting to help financially support Democrats running for office in Wisconsin, where the show was set. Entertainment shouldn’t be political, especially when it comes to legacy shows like ‘Happy Days’ that have such a powerful place in the hearts of so many Americans, Baio, 60, told Fox News in a written statement on Wednesday. Invoking the show’s name to support a candidate for office was just wrong, in my opinion, he continued. That doesn’t change how much I love Donny, Henry [Winkler] and the rest of the crew from ‘Happy Days.’ I just wish they had thought this all the way through.
