William Shatner is ready to boldly go into his next year of life.
Despite turning 95 on March 22, the Star Trek alum has found that he feels both “energized” and “focused.”
“I don’t know what 95 feels like,” Shatner exclusively shared with E! News. “Every time I hear the number 95, I go, ‘Who? Who? Who’s 95 here?’”
“I don’t know what it is,” he added of his age. “I lead a healthy life. I essentially don’t drink. I don’t smoke.”
Celebrating his 95th birthday also means Shatner has had the time to reflect on his long and varied career—especially how his feelings about Star Trek have changed over the years. While he might have joked in the past that he was the one responsible for Star Trek’s enduring legacy, he has a different feeling almost 60 years later.
“We have a great cast, great writers. We have the best plots, we have the best sets. We are telling human stories,” he shared with E!. “Star Trek takes place 400 years from now. Humankind is still there. We’ve got futuristic things that we fly to the planets and the stars. Nobody dies and everybody’s happy.”
