@givesomefucks @cosmicrookie William Shatner always struck me as someone incredibly hostile to the fanbase which made him famous and the people who are the only reason anyone gives a damn about him anyway.
Every interview I have ever read or seen video of is just him belittling people and their fandom.
That’s because that’s what he is. He’s kind of a crappy person. Nimoy refused to speak to him the last few years he was alive because Shatner paid someone to ask Nimoy questions secretly record Nimoy at a convention after Nimoy turned Shatner down. This was confirmed in the book Shatner wrote about his friendship with Nimoy after he died where Shatner said “It was such a small thing Leonard”. Takei has talked endlessly about how Shatner was a prick to work with on stage too.
Shatner is a shitty person
Edit: I goofed
Totally on me. I misremembered and just checked. He only had the cameraman record footage, not ask questions.
