The Shat Speaks!

William Shatner: Trying to Get A Six-Pack


William Shatner sits atop a faithful steed in this photo from GQ’s January 2010 issue (featuring cover girl Rihanna!)
In an irreverent interview, the 78-year-old shared that he loves motorcycles and cars and has a fitness goal in mind.
“I am trying to get to the perfect body - not just for a man of my age, but the perfect body,” William said. “One of my quests: to get the six-pack. I’ve got a twelve-pack.”
 



SHATNER! What is it? A man. An incorporeal force imbuing all souls, and all things. An amuse-bouche. A way of being. A story in our January issue. (Titled "SHATNER!"—how could it be otherwise?) And, of course, a way of speaking. A very emphatic way of speaking. Words that are utterly mundane coming from the mouths of mortal men ("The guacamole is decent here, you should try it") becoming electrified when they emerge from his. Here, for your listening pleasure, are some audio outtakes from my interviews with the inimitable William Shatner.


Shatner waxes poetic on the elemental harmonies of archery.

Shatner, asked about his position on guns and gun ownership, speaks instead of the day he wound up barreling down a California highway on his motorcycle with his clothes half torn from his body and blood pouring from his head (and several other parts of his body)—and with a teddy bear in tow.

Shatner explains/defends the emotive ginormity he brought to his portrayal of James Tiberius Kirk.

Shatner explains/defends the emotive ginormity he brought to his preposterous spoken-word performance of Elton John's "Rocket Man."

Shatner explains that there is one and only one perfect way to deliver any given line.

Shatner explains "sabotage"—how to pronounce it, and how to avoid it.

Shatner, now 78 years old, proclaims his intention to attain six-pack abs.

wasn't he a bitch about them making the new star trek? or maybe i'm imagining that. if he was then that's a shame because i love the shatner
davejohn 18th-Dec-2009 11:17 pm (UTC)
yes, i think he was asked to do a cameo and he was like "I DON'T DO CAMEOS" and then he was butthurt because they made the movie without his cameo...
mollayyy 18th-Dec-2009 11:26 pm (UTC)
he wanted to have a main role like Nimoy, but it just wouldn't work out. Then the writers were considering a small cameo but they weren't sure if they would include it in the end so they decided not to waste Shatner's time. But he was a bit upset that he wasn't offered a prominent cameo.
But that's just from what I've gathered hehe

Isn't he a homophobe or something?
strawberrytatoo 18th-Dec-2009 11:18 pm (UTC)
He kinda freaked back in the 80´s when he started going to cons and everybody was all about the kirk/spock. Poor bb.

Now, he is very interested that it´s mostly women who write porn about him ;p
