William Shatner Gets Candid on Star Trek, Fast Cars, Brad Paisley Collab & Aging Gracefully in 2025

Legendary actor William Shatner returns to the stage at GalaxyCon Oklahoma 2025 for an unfiltered and often hilarious panel. The Star Trek icon reflects on his long career, brushes with death behind the wheel, and his creative partnership with country star Brad Paisley. He opens up about Gene Roddenberry’s vision for Star Trek, the future of space exploration, and what he thinks of the newer Trek series. Shatner also shares personal stories from his Antarctic trip with Neil deGrasse Tyson, his failed dream car restoration, his thoughts on returning as Captain Kirk, and what mysticism, science, and exploration have in common. Fans ask about Space: 1999, warp drive, and whether humanity can overcome fear to reach its potential. From philosophy to flat-out comedy, this is classic Shatner at 95—still sharp, still curious, and still captivating. 📍 Recorded live at GalaxyCon Oklahoma on Memorial Day Weekend 2025.
