William Shatner reassures everyone about his well-being amid recent health rumors. The Canadian actor took to social media to address speculations after reports surfaced claiming he had been hospitalized. In an Instagram post, Shatner clarified that he was in good health, attributing the confusion to misinformation from tabloids and artificial intelligence.
The post features a photo of Shatner in a suit with the caption, “Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!” – a playful nod to Mark Twain’s famous quote when confronted with false reports of his own death. Earlier, TMZ had reported that the 94-year-old actor was hospitalized due to a blood sugar issue but was discharged the same day. Various media outlets also picked up the story, sparking concerns among fans.
Reacting to Shatner’s post, one Instagram user expressed relief, saying, “I’m glad you’re OK, I almost started crying.” Known for his iconic role as Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series, Shatner has remained active in the entertainment industry, starring in films like “Senior Moment” and appearing in the documentary “You Can Call Me Bill.” Additionally, he made headlines for his spaceflight experience with Blue Origin at the age of 91, setting a record as the oldest person to journey to space.
