William Shatner in the 2023 SXSW Studio

Bill feeds his brain; he reads constantly and is always interested in learning things. That level of mental activity and involvement is very good for you, but most people can't match it.

[@Francklyynnnn]

William in 2023 is more coherent and well-spoken than his Boston Legal character was in 2005. Legend.

[@dmoon9037]

So legendary he might consider signing off all his clauses…”Bill Shatner”.

[@penoyer79]

i am a firm believer that one of the biggest keys to life longevity is purpose. Staying busy and always having things to do. William Shatner never stops.

[@TheScaryTruthCatalyst]

I agree with that too. If you retire, you expire...

[@newmankidman5763]

penoyer79, you are correct, and William Shatner has said said the exact same thing a few times when they have asked him about his secret. He said "I keep busy"

[@Omnicient.]

Genes are the biggest influence, diet and where you live follow. Bill has the money to live in glorious locations.

[@meatismurder111]

It’s true! While being busy and do lot of reading it’s good for brain to prevent dementia

[@AggressiveBeagle]

He’s still so articulate for his age! Good for him ❤

[@NeonVisual]

When I was a kid, 92 yearold's were not just very rare, but also the few in their 90's were extremely frail and mostly couldn't move around. Bill looks 30 years younger than his actual age, it's incredible, but also very sad as living a very long life means that you'll be around for pretty much everyone you've known dying.

[@jasonross8434]

yes but he has children and he gets to see more of their life.

[@belindashaw1615]

More than anything it is amazing how his voice has really not changed and absolutely no "ums" or "ahs". I found his conversation incredible

[@mikeroman5208]

It's a shame that Patrick Stewart, who's about 10 years younger, has really gone downhill when compared to Shatner

[@ferociousgumby]

[@SilentKnight43]

One of my all-time favorite William Shatner moments was his comments he made after the ride in Jeff Bezo's rocket. He was so eloquent, profound and articulately poetic. Such a remarkable man. As a child of the early sixties I grew up with TOS and the neverending syndicated re-runs and can literally recite dialogue from so many of the classic episodes. He's been one true constant in my life that's undergone countless path deviations.

[@benwu7980]

[@OverTheFence555]

William's an amazing man. A true icon. As everyone has said it's very difficult to fathom that he's 92 and still going so strong! And you did a great job...considering Mr Shatner is not the easiest celebrity to interview.

[@Vestu]

People are like "yeah he seems younger because of fake hair and fake this and that." I don't care about those. Look at most men who are 92. I'm talking about his output, the way of delivery, the clarity of thought and words, the way he changes some ways he thinks and tries new things (like the documentary once he was impressed by the particular team's new ideas) in his 90-something brain. THAT's what makes him seem younger than most 90+ year olds.

[@ARIZJOE]

Bill is quite an intellect, and extremely well-read. I think that has a lot to do with his good health. The SXSW interviewer did a fine job: very well prepared, funny, and gave Mr. Shatner richly deserved respect.

[@astraluna6is9]

What can any one person say except that William Shatner is a Living Legend, born amongst Legends, anchored soundly in the Halls of Legends, in the Time of Legends. Bill Shatner has been there since I was a kid in the 60s. I can still hear and see the theme song of Star Trek filling the living room that we as a family sat in to watch many tv shows of the time. But the monologue intro to the Star Trek theme and then that music, well, it gave me pride somehow. And an absolute wide eyed sparkle in my eyes. Thanks Mr Shatner. We were very fortunate to have our youth at a time of great imagination, and have that imagination delivered to us by you, and the whole crew of the Star Trek production. Thanks brother.

[@Hibernicus1968]

I just watched a clip of Patrick Stewart's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, which I believe was just last night, and then I went straight to this... William Shatner doesn't sound all that different from the way he did on Star Trek. There is some noticeable change, of course, since he's nearly sixty years older. But if they were to make another animated Star Trek show today, and he voiced Kirk, it would still work. Not so with Patrick Stewart, I'm afraid. Stewart sounds _old._ He really has that reedy, scratchy, old man voice now, and he's a decade _younger_ than Shatner.
