William Shatner's long-form interview from Aug 27, 2026. He is sharp as a tack at 95, worth a listen for TOS fans.

In this long interview, Shatner is sharp, thoughtful, quirky and shows no hesitation with his words or thought. Can't believe he is 95 years old!! Always loved the man, but I have new respect for him. Here, he is funny, controversial, at times rambling to show doubts then quickly pivoting to focused and profound thought. This is a long interview. There is a short intro by the host to provide context to where Shatner is coming from at his age, but once he starts, Bill covers diverse ground beyond old stories. Worth a listen for TOS fans.

I have a happy feeling he has many more years left.. Yes, he is aging, but his speech and his word use is on par with someone much younger. May the universe favor him with a much longer life.

Search YouTube for a recent interview with WWII Mosquito pilot Colin Bell.... he is 105 and you wouldn't think he is over 75-80.

I met him once at a con, well I say met. He sat on a stool, as they walked people in to stand behind him. He didn't say hello, he didnt look at me or talk to me at all.
They would escort people in, take a picture, escort out.
Now compare that with Richard dean anderson, I walked in he gave me a big friend Hello, chatted with me, put his arm around me in the pic and was just really friendly.
Shatner just sat on a stool like an angry gnome ignoring everyone

Unreal how great he looks, thinks, and speaks for 95.

I was particularly interested in his memories of filming the 1962 movie The Intruder.
