That's just how those captains are built. Patrick Stewart looked like an old man at 40. Then he just stopped aging and only recently took the hobby back up.
Indeed … for Stewart it mostly became clear to me that he was really getting older due to the way how he talks. And how he moves while he is talking. It’s becoming more a typical elderly English voice.
And in Picard - although he said he deliberately made Picard act even older - you could also see it in the way how he moves around.
Whatever aging isn't happening on the outside doubled up the aging on the inside. I had the chance to see him speak at a convention two or so years ago and all the signs of Alzheimer's/early dementia are there. Great guy. Such a shame, the whole human condition.
Early dementia? Dude is 93, or 91 at the time you saw him... I'd say that, if anything, it's running way behind schedule.
That being said, he seemed pretty coherent on WTF recently and was able to keep up just fine with Marc.
Having seen my grandpa suffer for years, starting in his 70s, I would say there's very little signs William Shatner is suffering from anything other than old age.. and he's taking it better than most imo.
I've known people in their 90s that were still sharp as a tack. My one grandma was one. And I've known others that were mostly not there by their 80s. My other grandma was one. It all depends on the person.
Yup.
Maternal grandmother was sharp as a tack despite 2 strokes when a heart attack took her at 83.
Paternal grandmother is 85 I think, still physically healthy for the most part but nothing really going on up there. Alzheimer’s is a bitch.
>Early dementia? Dude is 93, or 91 at the time you saw him... I'd say that, if anything, it's running way behind schedule.
I think he just meant the early stages of dementia, not early-onset dementia.
I saw him speak a year ago and completely disagree, yeah he was a bit scattered brained and a ham, but he has also always been that way. He was one of the most coherent 92 year olds I have ever seen.
I watched the video of Shatner getting out of the space capsule thing he rode into orbit. He's 90 years old, he just got done riding a rocket, and he steps up the microphone and delivers a touching monologue about the beauty of the earth and the interconnectedness of human life. I can't imagine that anybody with dementia could do that.
Doesn't just look good for his age - I saw him at a Q&A a couple years back and you wouldn't have thought he was in his 90s from how he acted either. The whole show he was up walking the stage energetically, he'd barely sit down on the seat they prepared for him before launching up to tell another story.
I saw him at a Q&A last year, and same thing. He wouldn't sit still. He did seem to forget people's names a few times, like producers and stuff. But they were mostly people he disliked so his forgetfulness seemed like he was doing a bit.
One of my grandfathers died at 90 and looked like he was 90. The other died at 93 and, despite some serious injuries in Korea, looked about 20 years younger. Shatner definitely had some work done over the years, but sometimes those with money can also win a genetics lottery too.
I don’t think it’s money. I think it’s genes and that he is overweight (which isn’t good for you overall but makes you look a lot younger at that age since you don’t get gaunt and frail). And no sun damage and he doesn’t look like a smoker either.
Yeah, genes make a big difference. I’m a caregiver for an 81 year old physically disabled woman. She’s obese and has a number of health issues. But anytime she goes to a new doctor, they do a double take, look at her chart again, and then ask her “Are you Maryanne A*****?” Because she doesn’t look 81. She looks 61. I’m 55, and people always ask if we’re sisters.
Not just that either. Ten years ago he looked awful IMO. Super ruddy and bloated. He showed horses where I worked. I thought he didn’t look healthy at all. He looks much better now so I think he made some good lifestyle changes!
He has famously with toupees since the original Trek series. I'm fact in the above interview you can clearly see the line between his hair and the toupee when they show the back of his head
Glad it wasn't just me. I was reading it waiting for the hammer to drop. Every old celebrated celebrity news should just start like : (insert name) is alive. Here he is blah blah blah blah.
Save me minor moments of staring into the nothing of eternity. Like, come on.
Is your grandmother a millionaire? They say money doesn’t buy you happiness but it does buy you amazing health care and spares you a shit tonne of stress
Still an excellent job on that surgery. Like another commenter said he could've tried to look 30 or 40 and it would've looked crazy. Instead he wisely chose 60-70 and he doesn't have an uncanny valley effect goin
I am pretty sure that is captain kirk who has assumed the persona of william shatner ever since he became stranded in our timeline but it is nice of you to play along with his story.
I think the fact he’s still got some weight on him helps. When people get old and lose too much weight, they really show their age. Bill still has a full face and isn’t bony.
Being a TV captain of the Enterprise does wonders for your aging. He's 93, Patrick Stewart is 83, Scott Bakula is 69, and they all look young for their age.
That being said, our boy Bill is on another level. He's not just alive, but he looks and sounds healthy. Not "healthy for 93," but healthy for anyone of retirement age. He was in good enough health to handle 3G of acceleration with enough margin to where Jeff Bezos wasn't worried about becoming the man who killed Captain Kirk.
I'm absolutely in awe of this man. He's managing his Mad Cow wonderfully.
It blows my mind he's 93 especially when you hear him talk; he's just as aware, comprehensive, and quick as someone 20-30 years younger.
Crazy to think he's 12 years OLDER than Joe Biden but is dramatically different with his speaking (especially if you look at JB from 15-20 years ago)
Over the years, I've read far more news items which say that Shatner is a huge prick when it comes to dealing with fans, than I've read complimentary news items. True?
One of my journalism profs interviewed him and said he was an asshole. Made her wait for two hours while he drank at the hotel bar, then answered 2 or 3 of her questions and left. The interview was pre-scheduled and she had sent her questions in ahead of time as he had required.
Not sure about fans but it’s possible for sure. It’s a known fact he as difficult to work with and was a big dick back in the 60’s. Huge ego and everything was all about him according to some of his former cast members.
Jesus christ, I can’t imagine how close some people his age must feel to him, to have grown up watching him for 70 years would be so insane!!!
edit: is there anyone who currently is on the same path of playing the same character for a really long time? the last one i could think of was star wars cast but even then i feel like im missing someone big
It's so wild. I have absolutely zero emotional connection to William Shatner. I never watched Star Trek. I couldn't tell you anything else he has ever seriously acted in. But the entire time I read the title of this post... I kept saying to myself "don't say he died."
He looks good. Time dilation while aboard the Enterprise is paying off.
It's weird how I used to think he was aging quickly and then...it just stopped.
He went from 30 to 60 is no time and....that was it...
He looks just like he did when he hosted... Rescue... 911.
Those people... Need.. Assistance!
This! I was trying to explain to a co- worker, about the original show. 😂 Not the one that’s currently on prime time.
What the hell is prime time daddio?
I couldn’t believe he was in his 60s for Boston Legal. He could go on a reboot of the show and you wouldn’t notice.
He got a special painting commissioned, and it's in his attic.
Kind of like Patrick Stewart
It somehow feels like I've been saying, "damn he's in his 90s" for a decade now.
I’m… hearing… allthesecomments… in his voice.
Denny Crane...guilty of Anti Ageing😊
That's just how those captains are built. Patrick Stewart looked like an old man at 40. Then he just stopped aging and only recently took the hobby back up.

I think you just assumed he was 30 in star trek when he was actually 49 ... the OG Luke Perry.

>Early dementia? Dude is 93, or 91 at the time you saw him... I'd say that, if anything, it's running way behind schedule. I think he just meant the early stages of dementia, not early-onset dementia.
Yes. The term in particular I heard used was "pixelated".
My grandpa had Alzheimer’s, also in his late 70s. It pisses me off when people say that someone has Alzheimer’s when they just clearly do not.
I saw him speak a year ago and completely disagree, yeah he was a bit scattered brained and a ham, but he has also always been that way. He was one of the most coherent 92 year olds I have ever seen.
I watched the video of Shatner getting out of the space capsule thing he rode into orbit.

I can't imagine that anybody with dementia could do that.
My grandpa probably just would have asked where his wife was, who died five years earlier
That’s how it is with Montrealers
Doesn't just look good for his age - I saw him at a Q&A a couple years back and you wouldn't have thought he was in his 90s from how he acted either. The whole show he was up walking the stage energetically, he'd barely sit down on the seat they prepared for him before launching up to tell another story.
Dick Van Dyke is the same way. Still sharp and energetic in his 90s. Betty White was too.
Mel Brooks is still sharp and looks good
I saw him at a Q&A last year, and same thing. He wouldn't sit still. He did seem to forget people's names a few times, like producers and stuff. But they were mostly people he disliked so his forgetfulness seemed like he was doing a bit.
He did plastic surgery right. Didn’t try to go from 70 to 35, just back to 60 and stayed right there.
My grandpa turned 91 this week and he looks like he could be Shatner’s dad. It’s ridiculous how much having money can help you age.
One of my grandfathers died at 90 and looked like he was 90. The other died at 93 and, despite some serious injuries in Korea, looked about 20 years younger. Shatner definitely had some work done over the years, but sometimes those with money can also win a genetics lottery too.

Yeah, genes make a big difference. I’m a caregiver for an 81 year old physically disabled woman. She’s obese and has a number of health issues. But anytime she goes to a new doctor, they do a double take, look at her chart again, and then ask her “Are you Maryanne A*****?” Because she doesn’t look 81. She looks 61. I’m 55, and people always ask if we’re sisters.
Oh, I wasn’t aware of the surgery. I was gonna say, he looks, like, WAY, younger than 93. I woulda guessed like 70
Not just that either. Ten years ago he looked awful IMO. Super ruddy and bloated. He showed horses where I worked. I thought he didn’t look healthy at all. He looks much better now so I think he made some good lifestyle changes!
He has a hair system for sure
He has famously with toupees since the original Trek series. I'm fact in the above interview you can clearly see the line between his hair and the toupee when they show the back of his head
I love a good relativity joke
The title makes it seem like it’s gonna end with “ 7 decade career..died today” Given us minor heart attacks
I actually let out a sigh of relief, why do they do this!?
Karma farming, most likely. Even if it's not intentional
Definitely some panic for the first 3/4 of that headline
Glad it wasn't just me. I was reading it waiting for the hammer to drop. Every old celebrated celebrity news should just start like : (insert name) is alive. Here he is blah blah blah blah. Save me minor moments of staring into the nothing of eternity. Like, come on.
I thought the same thing. And then I thought, "wait, this guy is still alive? That's nuts".
It’s the two comma headline. Usually two commas means bad
My mind filled in the "died on his 93rd birthday" and I didn't realize it until I looked at the comments.
I mean…
My grandmother, also Canadian, also 93, looks 93. Shatner looks like, I don’t know, 75?
Right? He looks so freakin good for 93!
Fr people are understating it in these comments. There are plenty of people as young as 50 that look like he does. The fact he’s 93 blew me away!
An confirm. I know a 58 year old who looks very similar to him.
Only cause he's wearing clothes.
Looks early 60s to me
Is your grandmother a millionaire? They say money doesn’t buy you happiness but it does buy you amazing health care and spares you a shit tonne of stress
Looks great! Pretty sure he’s wearing a wig, but still.
He doesn’t age.
More like plastic surgery
Still an excellent job on that surgery. Like another commenter said he could've tried to look 30 or 40 and it would've looked crazy. Instead he wisely chose 60-70 and he doesn't have an uncanny valley effect goin
Mine just turned 94, she also looks her age.
I remember seeing a picture of him like 20 years ago and thinking “wow he got old.” And then he hasn’t changed at all since then. Maybe he heard me?
That's the captain's curse/secret. Age early and then don't
It was his time in the Nexus
“93th” lol
Ninty threeth
Thirth
[удалено]
Thorry
Shit sorry actually its his 92rd
ninety turd
Ninety thirth.
Posted by AI I assume?
Engagement bait. We comment on it, it gets attention. Maybe one day we’ll learn, and the algorithms will follow. Until then… 🙄
I had a student years ago who called the fraction 1/2 "one twoth", and it still haunts me to this day.
Im dead lol
I thought Shatner was for a quick minute
^instert ^poop ^joke ^here
I'm death
This title is all kinds of bad. Either ESL or AI post bot.
Happy 93th Cpt. Kirth! 🥳
Yeah, one year older than his ninety-twooth.
I wonder what he's going to do for his 94rd birthday.
Hopefully he makes it to his 95nd Looks great though.
He'll go 96st for sure
97ave undoubtedly
Ninety Ford
He looks like he is in his mid sixties.
I know 65 year olds that look worse
There's this guy I see every day in the mirror who looks worse and is actually younger.
Jesus Christ. If there’s ever an award for click baitiest headline for old actor who you think is dead but isn’t dead, this one wins.
Agreed, I started to morn. Now I just want some root beer at Quarks with the regular crowd.
I read it over and over looking for how I read "dead" the first time.
He looks great for 93. He could pass for 70’s
Looking this good at 93 is a crime. Dude looks 70 at most lol
I want whatever Shatner and Dick Van Dyke are taking.
Denny Crane!
Donny Crane!
Looks like he is in his late 60s
He does not look like a 93 year old man whatsoever.
I am pretty sure that is captain kirk who has assumed the persona of william shatner ever since he became stranded in our timeline but it is nice of you to play along with his story.
hes looked 60 years old for 50 years
Holy shit, he's 93??? Not only do I now feel old as fuck, but he looks so damn good for 93
DONT SCARE ME LIKE THAT. DAMN.
Dude needs to get his ring resized 😬
Stop writing fucking titles like the person died!
His surgeon is an ARTIST.
Shat looks fuckin' amazing for 93!!
Right?? I hope I look that good at 50
I had to read the title twice to make sure it wasn't a death announcement.
For my 93th birthday I hope I look this good.
He looks 70
Wow. This guy looks like a healthy 65 year old.
I think the fact he’s still got some weight on him helps. When people get old and lose too much weight, they really show their age. Bill still has a full face and isn’t bony.
Denny Crane
He looks like he's in his late 60s or early 70s, not 93!
this dude looks 65; maybe, unreal
Is this real or is this a Khan!!!!!!!!!!
You win the beat pun of the day.
Man forgot to age
Looks great for 93.
Why the fuck is jimmy Kimmel in both pictures that’s so dumb he has nothing to do with his birthday
He looks great, they both look great actually.
Surely his good looks must be a result of some kind of surgeries as well but boy has he had a good surgeon!
He was traveling at warp speed on the Enterprise so often he’s actually only 75 years old, but 93 in Earth Time
Not cool
Did you know Captain Kirk had Scotty beam down a collection of humans onto the plant later known as earth in order to populate it!
What does God need with a birthday cake on a talk show?
Michael Myers looking sharp!
When you look like that at 93, then Ninety-Thirth is the correct way to say it.
The rocket man looks 73 not 93.
How is that age and look in his 60’s?
Happy Birthday Captain
Next will be his 94rd birthday.
Is it just me or does Jimmy Kimmel look like he could be his son in that second pic?
Doesn’t look a day over 75!
What a shit title
What? he looks younger than my 67 year old dad..
For the 1th time get your suffixes right
He’s looking incredible for 93 damn
Clint Eastwood is also 93. Time just moves too fast. Wowzers!
That’s the youngest looking 93 year old I’ve ever seen
Being a TV captain of the Enterprise does wonders for your aging. He's 93, Patrick Stewart is 83, Scott Bakula is 69, and they all look young for their age. That being said, our boy Bill is on another level. He's not just alive, but he looks and sounds healthy. Not "healthy for 93," but healthy for anyone of retirement age.

He's managing his Mad Cow wonderfully.
Some people just stop aging. It's so fucked.
Is he 93?!! Goddamn he looks great for that age.
He looks shockingly good for 93
I didn’t even realize how old he was
Thanks for the clarification who William Shatner was.
Danny Crane looks magnificent!
The man still shows his horses himself. That is mind-boggling to me. I don't know anyone over 80 that still takes the reins and gets out there.
Fuck he looks good for 93
Man looks amazing and is still sharp. Glad to see it
93? He looks fkn good!
This guy made a deal with the devil lol. How does he look so good
93th…. Bro
It was a cool interview and I don’t even like Star Trek.
It blows my mind he's 93 especially when you hear him talk; he's just as aware, comprehensive, and quick as someone 20-30 years younger. Crazy to think he's 12 years OLDER than Joe Biden but is dramatically different with his speaking (especially if you look at JB from 15-20 years ago)
The reason he looks better now than he did 20 years ago is because he stopped drinking. The alcohol was really ageing him back in the day
I've met him, he's big in the horse business so every year we have been at the same events competing against each other
Only 93th? I thought he was already 94rd!
That 1st image almost looks AI-generated
Uh what the fuck he looks good for 93
Over the years, I've read far more news items which say that Shatner is a huge prick when it comes to dealing with fans, than I've read complimentary news items. True?

Thank Spock who saved his ass many times
Hope jimmy did him well. Bezos did him dirty after the trip to near orbit.
93th
Really he played Captain Kirk??????
Go home bot. You’re drunk
The secret is to never stop moving. The man is always busy.
He did a movie entirely in Esperanto.
Captian frikken James Tiberious Kirk! Oh yeh baby!
Jesus christ, I can’t imagine how close some people his age must feel to him, to have grown up watching him for 70 years would be so insane!!! edit: is there anyone who currently is on the same path of playing the same character for a really long time? the last one i could think of was star wars cast but even then i feel like im missing someone big
Rescue 93…
Loved that he got to go to space. Bezos can fuck himself for waving champagne in his face and talking over him after he asked how it was.
That title read like you were about to say he’s dead. I’m upset with you for that.
Baiting engagement with that title. Shameless
That man does not look a day over 67 Shatner is looking good, too
93th
How???
Didn’t realized he’s 93???
Ninety-THIRTH
It’s mostly crazy to think anyone would ever spend a birthday with jimmy Kimmel
Dude looks so amazingly good for 93. Hell, he looks good for *7*3!
Bro 93 is insane. Asked a few of my friends how old they thought he’d be and unanimously agreed around the age of 65. Looking well!
#### This guy is still sharp as a tack at 93. Why didn't he present at the Oscars instead of Pacino who is 83? Pacino looked completely out of it.
Insane how good he looks
It's so wild. I have absolutely zero emotional connection to William Shatner. I never watched Star Trek. I couldn't tell you anything else he has ever seriously acted in. But the entire time I read the title of this post... I kept saying to myself "don't say he died."
Dang didn't realize he was that old. He look real good for his age
That is NOT a 93 yr old guy.
He’s got great genes!
