There\u2019s no need to worry about William Shatner<\/strong>, the actor himself confirmed.<\/p>\n \u201cI over indulged. I thank you all for caring but I\u2019m perfectly fine,\u201d Shatner, 94, captioned an Instagram<\/a> post on Thursday, September 25, after reportedly being hospitalized<\/a>. \u201cI keep telling you all: don\u2019t trust tabloids or AI!\u201d<\/p>\n The actor posted a meme of himself that reads, \u201cRumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!\u201d (The message refers to a slightly misquoted line from late author Mark Twain<\/strong>, whom Shatner is dressed up as in the image.)<\/p>\n It was widely reported that Shatner had been rushed to the hospital on Wednesday, September 24, following an issue with his blood sugar.<\/p>\n TMZ broke the news, reporting that Shatner had been taken to the hospital from his Los Angeles home to get checked out. (Us Weekly<\/em> reached out to Shatner\u2019s rep at the time.)<\/p>\n The apparent medical mishap came months after Shatner spoke candidly to Us Weekly<\/em> about some \u201cbad habits\u201d<\/a> that he indulges in.<\/p>\n \u201cStaying up too late at night,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cSometimes I\u2019ll record something during the day [that] I want to watch at night, and by the time I\u2019ve finished watching, it\u2019s 2 o\u2019clock in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n He quipped, \u201cI think the trick is, apparently, to get six [or] seven hours of sleep, hopefully at a regular time.\u201d<\/p>\n Shatner rose to fame for playing Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek<\/em> franchise, a role he debuted in 1966. (He appeared in seven Star Trek<\/em> movies along with various TV shows.)<\/p>\n
