William Shatner turned 93 on Friday.
And the Star Trek legend spoke of still feeling youthful as he attended the premiere of his documentary You Can Call Me Bill on Thursday.
He said the secret to staying young was to ‘stay engaged in life, to stay curious,’ Shatner explained to People.
‘Your life energy, your body’s soul energy is a product of health. If you are sick, you cannot be energetic. You are about to die. So my luck has been, I’ve been healthy my whole life, he said.
He also credited his wife Elizabeth Shatner, 64, for keeping him young.
They were married from 2001 to 2020, then reconciled in 2023.

On Thursday night, Shatner told People how he felt about turning 93, saying he feels pretty calm about celebrating the start of his 94th year.
‘Well, birthdays are supposed to be a big day. I suppose there’s a reason for someone out there to celebrate, “Oh my God, 93,” he said, adding, “I’m not happy about it.”
In January 2023, Shatner told Variety he made his documentary because he didn’t have long to live and he wanted his grandchildren to know him after he was gone.
“Whether I stall while I’m talking to you or in 10 years, my time is limited, so that’s very much a factor. I have grandchildren. This documentary is a way to reach out after I die.’
He also revealed that he had been asked many times to make a documentary about his life.
‘I have turned down many offers to make documentaries before. But I don’t have long to live,” he said.
“But luck has a lot to do with it in your health,” Shatner explained to People
