William Shatner looks and has the mental acuity of someone decades younger.
His hair replacement went well (check the underwater swim to release the whales).
He was famous for protecting his hairpiece during TOS...
@@igorschmidlapp6987that was definitely a hair club rug and according to the producers the toupee would end up “missing” after each season
Denny crane
He and Rita Moreno
He and Burt had the best systems all through their lives!.....
In 4 days, Shatner is going to be 93. Live long and prosper Bill.
and how old will the tribble on his head be?
@@purefoldnz307020, fitting because it's also been 20 years since he got away with murdering his wife when he allegedly found her dead in their backyard pool
@@mikedavis8008What do you know that the authorities don't and can it be confirmed by irrefutable evidence?
Four days from when?
@@garyfrancis6193 Shatner will be 93 tomorrow (3/22).
This man has more energy than most people half his age.
Assuming I make it to 93, I can only hope to be moving around a fraction as well as him.
It's incredible how sharp and clever he is.
93! He looks freakin amazing
He hasn't lost any energy he seems happy and that's probably the secret, not many people spend our lives doing something we love.
Shatner looks like he will live well into his 100s.
Extraordinary and inspirational.
don't count on it. I look half my age but am extremely vitally unhealthy.
He is looking a bit less healthy here than he has done for the last few years. He is looking more pale and aged here than recent appearances. Whether he will live "well into his 100s" is debatable as that is very rare.
@@HowDidIGet3700Subs Well are YOU 93 years old?
@@Romulan2469 Ain't as rare as it used to be.
@@Grim2 relevance?
The thing I love about Shatner is that he's always very engaged in life at 93. Love to see that.
People will say...but but he's rich...😂 That has nothing to do with it of course. He has great enthusiasm and energy and is ALWAYS busy....
We need William Shatner and David Attenborough to live FOREVER!! 😊
93 going on 63! If he colored his hair he would look like he was in his 50s.. Amazing! Hope he gets to play Kirk one more time.
Its also incredible to have such a strong voice at 93. That shows you that he really is young for 93. Its not just some cosmetic hollywood trickery.
HE LOOKS YOUNGER THAN I DO AND IM 56. HE IS THE ONLY CAPTAIN KIRK ❤
Every day he lives the legend grows. Amazing
I've been a fan since forever. He has always been mindful of his fans.
You Can Call Me Bill is absolutely AMAZING! I had the privilege of being a part of the red carpet premiere in Richmond, VA this past Friday. Mr. Shatner was just awesome! Funny. Friendly. Heartfelt. Grateful. What a night, what a night indeed!
"red carpet premiere" lol. you mean you paid to see it a convention
Just saw it tonight in Playa Vista with him there for questions afterwards. Amazing film!!!
How HOW is he in his 90’s!!!! I need to drink that water he’s drinking. He’s incredible!!
@@GarretGrayCameranot a hairpiece anymore. He got a hair transplant years ago and was even photographed coming out of one a couple years ago getting a touch up transplant. So the hair is real and it's all his now.
@@GarretGrayCameraIf I'm still as alive and vibrant as Shatner at 93 I wouldn't care if I were as bald as Patrick Stewart.
if i didn't know better i'd think he was on carnivore diet. look up Maggie White who has only eaten meat her whole life. She's 83 and look how young she looks on youtube
It's the adrenalin shot he took in "The Deadly Years"!
He's not going to tell his longevity secret
.He wouldn't even tell Alicia Keys his ' secret '
Looks fabulous. I'd say he's good enough to make one more star trek film
The guy is timeless. A icon. He doesn’t age and most of the original Star Trek actors have long ago died.
Yes, only 3 left now & to think Bill & Leonard Nimoy were only days apart in age yet Leonard looked years older. As much as we miss Spock he was a heavy smoker which didn't help his health or his longevity.
@@user-db9up6mg5r thank you. It’s sad so many icons were lost early to some complications from smoking.
The Canadian Legend!
I've loved him since I was a child. He's an incredible actor and has a good sense of humor.
There is only one Captain of the Enterprise: James T. Kirk ❤
Jean-Luc Picard was never the guy.
Kirk and Picard are both great in their own ways but Kirk is the OG
Tiberius
Shatner ROCKS we did a TV Commercial with him many years ago....he talked and thanked everyone on set...funny and nice!!
This guy has another Star Trek in him - no question about it....come on Bill, once more round the galaxy!!!
Remember... KurtzTrek has Kirk's body in stasis at Daystrom Station... just give him a synth body like Picard, and he's good to go... ;-P
yeah they are idiots ...they must give him the money he wants and bring him back....
He could easily pass as a near retirement Admiral Kirk
@@igorschmidlapp6987Fools if they don't. For example, do a Picard/Kirk movie where Picard has to reanimate Kirk for some purpose. The end of the movie could have the Genesis 2 device go off. Old Kirk is "re-born" as Paul Wesley. Thus bringing young Captain Kirk into the 25th Century.
Then for a Legacy show, have Seven break the Prime Directive. She gets demoted back to commander. Kirk becomes her commanding officer of the Enterprise-G.
When William first started speaking in the interview I was like “uh-oh.” But then he was fine. More than fine. He’s eternal.
93. Holly sh!t, I thought he was still in his early 80s and thought he looks like a man 20 years younger. Dude is my goal if I ever get to that age to how I would like to look and sound and mental awareness.
People can only wrinkle so much until they are done with it. He hit that a few years ago.
i grew up watching star trek as a little kid and captain kirk was always my hero , tv shows come and go but star trek is always there , i love collecting anything related to the original show , many thanks to bill shatner and all the star trek cast for sparking my imagination as a kid , they all made me think i could do anything :)
93 years old and carries on like he is in his 50s. Whatever he is doing it works, and I want it.
He looks like in addition to being mentally sharp he is physically mobile. Could pass for someone in their 60’s
I hope I look and sound that good at 93!
Captain Kirk is a legend but Denny Crane is one of the greatest characters he has ever played
He was one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen may you live forever William 💗
My favorite actor ever! Was not really a Star Trek Fan, I was a Bill Shatner Fan!
We saw it in Playa Vista tonight. Very worthy! And the live Q&A afterward was awesome!
On my bucket list is meeting Bill and he is a local here in South Carolina. Been on that list for 10 years. I have lived a lot longer than I ever expected.
It's hard to imagine that I was a kid when he was in TOS..
Still going strong.
'I always have a birthday coming up...' That made me laugh.
Dude is going to be 93!
14 seconds in he said "Star Track".
He could pass for a man in his 50's he was great in everything he was in..I always loved his work...He is the only Captain of the Enterprise live long and prosper Mr Shatner you are one of the best
70s maybe. Not 50s.
without makeup he can still pass as a 65 year old totally.
This is the first time i have seen him start to.look older I know he is 93 god bless bless bill you look great for your age Better then any 93 old I have ever seen
At 93 and being alive anyone looks better than nearly all their peers - who are no longer alive.
Wow! His face is not bloated and red anymore. Must have lost a lot of weight. Makes him look much younger now from several years ago.
he looks and sounds amazing!!
Yes he is looking like he's dropped a few pounds.
his face has been red since atleast the 1980s - i think the makeup just hides it here.
I wish I look this good and am this healthy at 92. I hope you live many more years Mr Shatner. What an inspiration you are.
This guy will outlive me I’m sure, and I’m 40
93 He looks YOUNGER
One of my hero’s , looks amazing
I pray we all be as healthy and happy as Bill when we get to 90 🙏
Friday, March 22nd, 93 years old. I'm speechless...
Saw him 5 years ago in Grand Rapids, MI when he was doing a discussion about Star Trek and his life. They had a comfy chair for him to sit in but he spent most of his time pacing back and forth on the stage like a caged tiger while he answered questions and cracked us up with funny stories about his life. What a legend.
Also, I highly recommend listening to his audiobooks. He narrated them and they're very entertaining to listen to.
I think the secret to his long life is he keeps working. If he had retired several years ago, he'd likely already be gone. The worst thing that can happen to a person is getting reduced to sitting around in a lawn chair everyday with no purpose in life. Society has been conditioned to think that we work a certain number of years then retire. Shatner is proving that being old does not mean you have to stop and sit around waiting to die.
If William Shatner is still wearing a hairpiece, he has the best looking one I have ever seen. But some say he now has implants, suggesting his hairloss was never really sever, just patchy, if so, his hair looks amazing, real or fake.
i mean its rare that people cant grow ANY hair on their head...either way yeah they really did amazing work on his hair - his hair didnt look this good since Star Trek Tos!
Just worked with Anthony hopkins and his memory is sharp as you know what . Told us stories left and right . A master class for about 55 minutes
The world loves you Wiliam Shatner, much love
He looks 70. Wow! At this point, he could easily play Kirk again. Make it so!
William is young forever.!! . He Is an inspiration for everyone. God Bless him
He’s going to be 93 in two days . Looks and sounds 30 years younger gear than he is. Genetics .
Looking forward to seeing the documentary!
He hasn’t played Kirk in 30+ years (longer than a lot of people have been alive).
He is so delighted at discovering and doing new things. Going up into space at 92, for one. That’s his secret.
He was in Generations which came out in 1994... so not exactly 30+ years lol
@@ChrissonatorOFL Ha, ha, you’re right! I have a mental block about that. Somehow, “It was fun…oh my…” didn’t work for me. Neither did the rocket.
This man doesn’t seem to age, amazing 👍
I AM PART OF IT! Everyone watch!
I loved him in miss congenitally and rescue 911
William Shatner has a quick, subtle wit.
That, alone, could be a contributing factor to his longevity
Wow he’s 93! Bill looks incredible
Lord, if you see fit to get me to 93, let it be THIS version of 93. 🙏
I envy him. What an amazing life...full of energy...
Shatner must do one more Trek film!
He looks amazing @93 yrs old..great stock great genes n his mind is soo sharp his wit intact..God bless you Sir Capt Kirk a legend 💯
He made it better
Very hard to believe he's 93! He looks amazing and is still so sharp!
My gran is the same and she's 10 years older than him
"Star Track" LOL
God, Will Shatner is a Legend. He should play once again captain James T. Kirk and bring back the old style in Star Trek universe
93!!!! Can you believe it! If only I last that long and look that good.🙂👍
The difference between a boat, or a ship is if one person can take it from one berth to another under full power it's a boat. If it takes two or more it's a ship because it takes two people to argue about if it's a boat or a ship.
You know you're getting up there yourself if you're old enough to remember when someone in their 90s was in their 30s.
Fantastic man.
If someone were to say of all actors pick your favorite. I would say William Shatner as Captain Kirk. I like him in just about everything he has acted, but his best is Kirk from the tv series.
Live long and prosper Bill! Do you sleep in the transporter buffer? 🖖
Hope it comes to the UK
My hero.
WE LOVE YOU CAPTAIN 🫡
Happy to be invested in Legion M as they are investing in great movies! Can't wait to see this movie! He looks great and so sharp!
Holy crap, he is 92? Talk about alert and with it.
bravo señor a su salud , un historico
He traveled to space! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
He seems to be getting younger. 93 that’s crazy.
Hello Bill!!!❤❤❤❤
Once I saw Shatner reading Shakespeare. He was good.
Bill Shatner, absolute legend, incredible for his age.
Wonder man...wonderful voice...interesting person..
Bill's great.
Live long and Prosper = Shattner!
The one and real Captain of the Enterprise. You’re great! ❤
He looks great for his age.
This is one amazing person!! Watched him on Bill Maher’s podcast..did not realize he is in his 90’s. The most remarkable interview..Super Ager!
He looks amazing for his age.
That's because he is alive. Not many are at that age.
Met Bill 4 times. Always a pleasure
Live Long and Prosper, Sir
That's a rare comment. He is great with peers, really great, but with civilians - oh the list of horror stories.
@@TheRadioAteMyTV guess I’m a peer lol
@@joeylodes Nothing wrong with that at all.
Legend 🍸100
Him and Steve Martin best hair pieces in Hollywood
took shatner a few decades but he did end up having good fake hair.
Talk about a true human super hero Wow seems like he’s 30 yrs younger than
Bill. Thanks.:)
Hi Bill !! 🖐😃
