'Star Trek' actor William Shatner breaks silence about health rumors

[BootinUp]

LOS ANGELES – Following reports that he suffered a medical emergency at his home and had to be hospitalized, 94-year-old “Star Trek” actor William Shatner insisted this week that he is “perfectly fine.”

On his Instagram page, Shatner posted a photo of himself dressed like Mark Twain, captioned with “Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!,” a reference to a famed line from the author.

In the post, Shatner wrote, “I over indulged. I thank you all for caring but I’m perfectly fine. I keep telling you all: don’t trust tabloids or AI!”

6. Making fun of Shatner will activate the corbomite device

Which results in a reaction that destroys the attacker.

4. My brother was his driver during the first Star Trek movie

Got off to a kind of rocky start (no surprise, given Shatner's reputation) but they ended up on a friendly basis. Bill even wrote him a very nice letter of recommendation.

My brother used to work in the 20th Century Fox Research Lab so Shatner is one of my near degrees of separation from Hollywood.

5. Other than being very old and human, he is fine.
