Star Trek legend William Shatner has revealed that he doesn’t have one single friend in the whole of the universe.
Speaking about his life now, the 93-year-old actor – who starred as Captain James T Kirk in the original 60s Star Trek series and seven Star Trek movies – said he doesn’t have a single pal.
In an interview with SFX magazine in the latest edition, the legend – who also starred in cop show T.J. Hooker – said he had never had a “real friend”.

He said: “I’ve come to the conclusion that everybody is lonely. When you get older you think ‘My God… all those people I knew that I thought were friends are dead’.

“I’m alone – I’m going to die alone.”
He said that it was “so scary” that most people tried to ignore it, adding: “You ignore it, you fill it [life] with wine, women or song.”
He added: “I think of all the meals I ate alone, and theatre companies when I was alone, I drink an odd beer, but the [other] actors would get drunk and be in a haze the next day.
“I didn’t do that – I was not with the drinking crowd, but I’d wonder ‘what are they doing? They’re drinking and laughing’, but I wasn’t ready to drop that mask of ‘I don’t care’.
“If that’s what friendship is, I don’t want to do that – it’s a waste of my time.”
