LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Beloved 'Star Trek' legend, William Shatner, has been making headlines recently for his efforts to maintain his youthful appearance and please his on-again wife, Elizabeth Martin. The 92-year-old actor, known for his role as Captain Kirk, has embarked on various wellness and beauty treatments but is now considering more drastic measures.
Shatner's ultimate goal is to make Elizabeth, 64, happy and maintain her interest. However, when he gazes into the mirror, he sees a reflection that apparently disappoints him. The actor is determined to preserve a youthful and appealing appearance for his wife's sake.
Who is William Shatner's wife?
Earlier this year, Shatner and Elizabeth, 64, announced their reconciliation after a three-year divorce that cost them $2 million. Shatner affectionately referred to her as "the zest of life," which has motivated him to revamp his aging face. "His lifestyle is pretty relentless for someone his age, but he's not immortal and is fretting about the lines and wrinkles marring his looks," spilled an insider.
"He still thinks of himself as a suave ladies' man, but these days the only woman he's interested in is Elizabeth," shared the insider. "He wants to look nice and youthful for her, but what he sees in the mirror is something else entirely." While insiders shed light on Shatner's concerns, his representative dismisses the rumors saying, "My boss tells me that every time he looks in the mirror, he sees Captain Kirk but then his eyesight is fading," reported Radar Online.
'It's become a mini-obsession!'
In addition to his quest for rejuvenation, Shatner has been contemplating death, sparking concerns among his friends. Reports surfaced that he has been discussing and planning his own funeral arrangements. "Bill insists he's just being practical, but it's tough to see him brainstorming the type of funeral he wants, who'll be invited and whether he can get his ashes scattered in the heavens and alongside his beloved horses. It's become a mini-obsession," an insider shared in March.
Close sources reveal that Elizabeth is urging Shatner to focus on more positive aspects of life and halt discussions about death. "Elizabeth especially is begging him to stop being so depressing — she's counting on being with him for a lot of years yet," the source said. However, Shatner's preoccupation with the topic persists, leaving some to wonder about the deeper motivations behind his documentary, 'You Can Call Me Bill', where he openly discusses mortality and the limited time he perceives himself to have. "I've turned down a lot of offers to do documentaries before, but I don't have long to live," he said. "Whether I keel over as I'm speaking to you or ten years from now, my time is limited."
