The Canadian actor took to social media to address rumors about his well-being that arose after reports surfaced claiming he had been rushed to the hospital. Shatner clarified in an Instagram post that he was simply dealing with overindulgence and emphasized the importance of not believing tabloids or artificial intelligence.
In the post, Shatner can be seen sporting a mustache in a suit with a caption stating, “Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!” This phrase is a play on Mark Twain’s famous quote about reports of his own death being exaggerated.
