William Shatner has reassured his fans that he is in good health. The renowned Canadian actor took to social media to dispel rumors about his well-being after speculation arose that he had been hospitalized.
In an Instagram post, Shatner expressed gratitude for the concern but clarified that he was simply dealing with the effects of overindulgence and was perfectly fine. Emphasizing the importance of not trusting tabloids or artificial intelligence (AI), he shared a photo of himself in a suit with a mustache, accompanied by the statement, “Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated,” a playful nod to Mark Twain’s famous misquoted line.
Earlier reports from TMZ indicated that the 94-year-old actor had been taken to the hospital due to a blood sugar-related issue. However, Shatner’s agent later confirmed his quick release on the same day. The news of his hospitalization sparked concern among fans and media outlets, with many expressing relief upon learning of his well-being.
Known for his iconic role as Captain Kirk in the original Star Wars series, Shatner has remained active in the entertainment industry, starring in projects such as the rom-com “Senior Moment” and appearing in the documentary “You Can Call Me Bill.” Notably, at the age of 91, he made headlines by participating in a 10-minute space flight with Blue Origin, piloted by Jeff Bezos, setting a record as the oldest person to journey into space.
