William Shatner Wants to Revive Kirk for New Star Trek Film: 'Pulling Out All The Stops to Look Young and Fit'
June 23 2024, Published 5:00 a.m. ET
Actor William Shatner is preparing to boldly go where he’s often gone before — back into the role of Star Trek’s Captain Kirk, say sources, who add the 93-year-old is pulling out all the stops to look as young and fit as possible, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
"Bill is known for work on his hair and living a very healthy lifestyle, but he’s going further now to include lots of pampering and noninvasive procedures,” spilled an insider. “He’s doing a little bit here and there with his face, and his dermatologist has no doubt become his best friend. He’s also hiring a personal trainer to build up muscle.”
Shatner recently revealed he’d be down for reprising his role as the iconic Star Trek character in a new movie, despite Kirk being killed off in the 1994 film Star Trek: Generations. He suggests Kirk’s body and brain could be revived from a deep freeze.
“It’s an intriguing idea,” Shatner says. And he’s apparently already launched himself into antiaging mode.
“He’s going on a diet to deal with his belly,” reveals the insider. “He’d rather slim down naturally than wear another corset. He’s also eating lots of anti-inflammatory meals like fish and sweet potatoes, and veggies with hummus, along with fresh fruit.
“Bill always thought he was a handsome stud, but he’s on a personal mission to prove that 93 is the new 43.”
RadarOnline.com has contacted Shatner's rep for comment.
Shatner says he’s also working with a company specializing in technology that “takes years off your face” so he can look up to 50 years younger in a movie.
“Even with state-of-the-art technology, Bill wants to look his best naturally,” squeals the insider. “And he’s beaming himself there at warp speed!”
