Beloved Hollywood icon William Shatner was rushed to the hospital after he experienced a medical emergency on Wednesday afternoon.
Shatner, 94, had an issue with his blood sugar while at his Los Angeles home and was hospitalized, TMZ reported.
The actor, best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk on “Star Trek,” was the one to make the call to emergency medical service workers after realizing something was wrong.
An LAFD ambulance was sent to his home as a precaution, the outlet reported.
Shatner was then taken to a local hospital for evaluation, where he was doing “good” and “resting comfortably.”
The Post has reached out to Shatner’s representatives for comment.
The Hollywood legend has been open about his ongoing health issues throughout his acting career.
In March 2024, Shatner revealed that he had been diagnosed and was treated for stage 4 melanoma — an advanced and aggressive form of skin cancer that spreads to other parts of the body.
Shatner noticed a simple lump under his right ear and visted his family doctor, who told him not to worry and to massage and monitor it, the “Boston Legal” actor told Healio.
However, after waiting about a month, he received a second opinion, which revealed the lump was much more serious than he was led to believe.
“It was melanoma, stage 4,” Shatner said. “I said, ‘Stage 4?’ And someone in the room said, ‘Sorry.’ I said, “What are you sorry about?’ It was like, ‘Better pack your things.’ That person who said ‘sorry,’ that was very sad, like you are going to die. And I was. They said if this [treatment] they used did not work, I had about 5 months.”
He was able to undergo surgery to remove the lump.
The legendary actor credited a strict immunotherapy regimen with saving his life and making him cancer-free.
Shatner also suffers from “permanent” tinnitus, which was brought on after he was standing too close to a special effects explosion while filming the “Star Trek” episode, “Arena” in 1967.
Tinnitus is a condition that can be temporary or chronic, where people experience ringing or other noises in their ears, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Despite his age and health scares, Shatner has not slowed down his active lifestyle.
At the age of 90, he blasted off into space aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin’s NS-18 Mission in 2021.
Shatner said the mission was a “profound experience” that filled him “with the magic of the connection of all life on Earth,” he revealed on “On The Red Carpet Icons” last week.
Earlier this month, the 94-year-old also announced that he would be heading to the Galapagos Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for a “Space 2 Sea” convention in November, which includes guest speakers such as the famed astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson and former NASA astronaut Dr. Kathryn Sullivan.
