Shatner's post comes hours after TMZ reported that the actor had been rushed to the hospital on Sept. 24 after suffering a medical emergency. The outlet wrote that per Shatner's agent, Harry Gold, he experienced "an issue with his blood sugar" while in his Los Angeles home, and called emergency service workers as a precaution. He was then transported to a local hospital where he was checked out before being sent home.

Shatner, known for helming Starship Enterprise as Captain James T. Kirk, famously keeps an active lifestyle despite his age. In 2021, he made history as the oldest man ever to go into space when he flew on Blue Origin's NS-18 Mission at the age of 90.

"I've turned down a lot of offers to do documentaries before. But I don't have long to live," said Shatner. "Whether I keel over as I'm speaking to you or 10 years from now, my time is limited, so that's very much a factor. I've got grandchildren. This documentary is a way of reaching out after I die."

Shatner will next appear in *Family Tree*, a holiday-set dramedy which he created and stars in with Tom Bergeron.**
