Today, the entire galaxy is celebrating a true living legend. From all of us at Geeky KOOL and his millions of fans worldwide, we want to wish the iconic William Shatner a very Happy 95th Birthday!
It is hard to believe that the man who defined the role of Captain James T. Kirk is 95 years young, but as he shared on social media today, he has no intention of slowing down or “acting his age.”
A Birthday Message from the Captain
Shatner took to Twitter this morning to share a celebratory cigar and some timeless wisdom with his followers:
At 95, I’m still smokin’! 😝
I’ve learned two things:
Never waste a good cigar.
Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻 pic.twitter.com/POpUEYh3gp— William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) March 22, 2026

Celebrate with the Legend at Planet Comicon KC
The birthday celebrations are just getting started! Next weekend, March 27–29, William Shatner returns to Planet Comicon Kansas City to help us kick off the massive 60th Anniversary of Star Trek.
Without Shatner’s legendary performance, the Star Trek universe wouldn’t be the cultural phenomenon it is today. Fans will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Bill, get autographs, and take photos with the man who started it all.
A Captains’ Reunion
The Star Trek celebration doesn’t stop with Kirk. Joining Shatner at Planet Comicon is Jason Isaacs, known to Trek fans as the complex Captain Gabriel Lorca from the first season of Star Trek: Discovery. Of course, many fans also know Isaacs for his chillingly brilliant portrayal of Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series.
Happy Birthday, Bill! We can’t wait to celebrate with you and Jason next weekend in Kansas City.
Stay Geeky!
