William Shatner on Turning 93, Going to Space & He Gets a Do-Over of His Star Trek Death Scene

We celebrate William’s 93rd birthday, and he talks about not seeing his own documentary, what wisdom he has to share in his older age, living in a truck after Star Trek ended, going to Space on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, being emotional during the trip, and since he didn’t love the way he delivered his dying line “Oh my” as Captain Kirk, Jimmy gives him a chance to redo it.

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

And how! The guy is swimming with sharks at 90, riding horses for competitions, and going into outer space...in his 90's! One of his key tricks to being in descent shape according to him is that he walks backwards in a swimming pool every day, a thing suggested by his doctor to help with knees plus the resistance of the water gives a good work out.

@@GodWeenSatan Yeah, no. He's in such bizarrely good shape for a 93 year old that it's clear his genes are much more responsible than money. Money can help you to reach 93, but money isn't enough to be in good health at 93 - that requires genetics like Shatner's.

I feel the same. Every night, I read Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls to my toddler, and when I read the birth and death dates, I think of my mom. She passed away a little over a year ago at the age of 61 from liver cancer. Of course, not all the people in the book live as long as her either, but it just serves as a reminder to live each day to the fullest and do what brings us joy and fulfillment. I used to jokingly argue with my mom about her Hogwarts house because she said she was a Gryffindor, but I thought she was more of a Hufflepuff. But seeing her face the cancer without any fear and treating death "like the next great adventure"...❤

After 50 years of being a fan, I finally met Bill last year and it was nice. He uses a golf cart or scooter most of the time to get around.

I grew up with really strict parents - couldn't go anywhere as a teen. My GF invited me to go to Star Con that was happening in downtown Denver when I was 16 and William Shatner was going to be there and I soooooo wanted to go, but of course my parents said no. I was heartbroken bc I had such a crush on his Captain Kirk character. Fast forward 40 years, and last year I FINALLY was able to have the time/money to travel to a convention where he was going to be. So I drove from Tallahassee Florida to Mooresville Pennsylvania to meet Mr. Shatner. He was as cool as I thought he would be, and so very nice. Was one of the best things I ever did in my life. For all the young people out there - ALWAYS take the chance to do something that will make memories of job and excitement. I have missed out on too many experiences when I was younger trying to be straight laced and conforming to societal expectations. Sometimes, you just gotta do crazy sh*t to live your life. Will you sometimes regret things you did (or tried to do)? Absolutely. But the worse feeling is regretting the things you DIDN'T do. Go ahead and take that chance - it might change your life.

Never in my life would I have dreamt I’d see a recreation of Kirk’s death on Jimmy Kimmel, or any talk show

[@carmenmccauley585]

And it was amazing.

[@stephen9302]

What a LEGEND!!! William hasn't lost a step ❤ Happy birthday 🎂

[@dennismclaurin1487]

Imagine him walking to the lost and found, after losing a step

[@jonmyers8046]

Bill tells it like it is. Just like when Deforest Kelley said in his TNG cameo "What's so damned troublesome about not having died?" I don't know why Takei has to bust his balls all the time, but I truly admire and love this guy. His expressions and reactions to things are priceless. He doesn't give in to the Hollywood BS. Everything he does, he goes boldly.

[@paulinemuthena6545]

This man is an enigma. Listen to him talk .So clear no hesitancy no stutter and he looks so fit and trim at 93.

[@starsabove8059]

That guy is really holding up well. I am so happy about his contribution to Star Trek. It's inspired many people.

[@toberius1]

That guy?!?! You mean THE CAPTAIN is holding up well, I'm sure.

[@Mo.Jo.]

I remember an interview i saw of his from many years ago when he turned 80. In the interview he recounts the day he turned 40, he woke up one day and thought that his life was almost over and he was old. Then he said something about how he was wrong and how he lived another great 40 years of life all happy and healthy. Looking at him now at 93, its crazy how he's been able to maintain his health and mental acuity.

[@MartinCox-ny2rv]

I actually got to see him at a ST convention in TN back in the 90' s awesome to be in the same room with this iconic captain of my favorite starship

[@evifnoskcaj]

He is such a perfectionist and so hard on himself. I've had the joy of being corrected by him in all his hilarious William Shatner glory and it was just great. He's definitely very confident, but he's also warm, and keenly aware and intelligent, and unafraid of speaking up and standing up for what he believes in, even if he upsets many people in the process. He embodies the word "bold" and was perfectly cast as Captain Kirk. He is a true pioneer in many ways and still continues to boldly go where no man has gone before! ❤😁

The "do over" brought tears to my eyes. That was Kirk.

I felt it. Good actors can just turn it on like that.

He looks nothing even close to 93... looks 30 years younger. Amazing man.

Well not really. He looks good for his age…. But he doesnt look like he is in his sixties. I mean…. Tom cruise… brad pitt.. johnny depp… all of them are in they‘re sixties.

Well done William . Stay well. I am tired od saying goodbye to old friends from Star Trek. I always loved your speaking voice. It is still remarkably vibrant.

I'm still in love with William Shatner after all these years..such a fine actor...his death scene on tonight's show was so sensitive and beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.

[@puspavelai8353]

'I was born' that's a reason to applaud. Thx captain. I'm 62 so I can really understand and celebrate you, for the energy and reality you remind us of - Really you remind the youth of life and...echoes of wisdom; being authentic (not only acting). Thanks again Jimmy

Being a Star Trekker, I love William Shatner and I love George Takei: I really wish they could settle their differences as they (and Walter Koenig) become the last original cast.

[@tcf70tyrannosapiensbonsai]

Live Long And Prosper, William Shattner!

[@PiCheZvara]

This is legit insane. Shatner should write a book about nutrition and self-care and just life philosophy in general. He must have good genes, but I never stop to be amazed to see him.

[@nadiamccall4311]

He does have good genes, so this is the main reason. But he also has access to the top of the line medicine and surgeons -- I don't think he should write a book about nutrition and self-care as he didn't figure these out on his own, but his doctors most likely are already testing out some of their theories and have written research on it. I know some of the treatments he used. We tend to congratulate the monkey for living so long but usually it's because the monkey has been well cared for and was lucky to inherit good strong genes (Ashkenazi.)
