Star Trek legend William Shatner, who is 91 years old, recently spoke candidly about his limited time left in a heartfelt interview. With his forthcoming documentary, “You Can Call Me Bill,” Shatner’s main motivation is to create a lasting memory for his grandchildren, even after he is gone. He cherishes his role as a proud grandfather to five grandchildren from his previous marriages, and wants to ensure that they remember him fondly.
Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, the documentary premieres at the SXSW Film Festival and features Shatner’s daughters, Leslie, Lisabeth, and Melanie. In a 2014 interview, Shatner expressed the immense joy that his grandchildren bring to his life, and how he imparts his wisdom to them.
In another recent development, Shatner made news by reuniting with his ex-wife Elizabeth Martin after their 2020 divorce. The couple spoke candidly about their revived bond at the Living Legends of Aviation Awards in January. While Shatner has had four marriages, it is his enduring legacy and strong family ties that truly define him.
Despite his age, William Shatner remains engaged both in his career and personal life, serving as an inspiration to all of us to embrace every moment with our loved ones.
