William Shatner reassured fans of his well-being after false reports surfaced about his health. The Canadian actor took to social media to dispel rumors of being hospitalized, attributing the misunderstanding to overindulgence and advising against believing tabloids or artificial intelligence.
In an Instagram post, Shatner, aged 94, shared a photo of himself in a suit with a caption stating, “Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!” This reference paralleled Mark Twain’s famous quote correcting misconceptions about his own health.
Earlier, TMZ reported Shatner’s hospitalization due to a blood sugar issue, which was confirmed by his agent. However, he was discharged the same day, alleviating concerns raised by various media outlets about his condition.
Fans flooded Shatner’s post with well-wishes, expressing relief upon learning of his safety. Known for his iconic role as Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series and subsequent films, Shatner remains active in the entertainment industry. His recent projects include starring in the romantic comedy Senior Moment and appearing in the documentary You Can Call Me Bill.
Notably, Shatner made history by participating in a 10-minute space flight with Blue Origin at the age of 91, marking him as the oldest person to venture into space.
