Shatner sad over planet’s destruction
WILLIAM Shatner was sad coming back from space as “stupid” people deny the planet is being destroyed.
Best known as Star Trek’s Captain Kirk, he became the oldest human in space last year on Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ second Blue Origin flight.
The actor, 90, says he got emotional as he headed back down to earth due to “the sadness of what we’re doing to our own planet”.
Speaking to SFX magazine, he said: “It’s like being in a tiny room in a hotel and sh***ing.
“‘No, I’m not going to the bathroom, I’m gonna crap in my bed and stay in it.’ It’s beyond stupid.”
He said on preparing for the space trip: “I was in pain a lot, thinking, ‘Why am I doing this?’”
