Is William Shatner really ill? His agency reveals

William Shatner's agency, TalentWorks, issued an official statement clarifying the rumours regarding the Star Trek actor's health, as reported by ABC 7. The management agency shared that the reports regarding William Shatner's falling ill on the afternoon of September 24, 2025 and being hospitalised were untrue. The 94-year-old was fine and not suffering from any serious medical issues. His fans are relieved to know that the beloved star is in good health.

William Shatner's health struggles over the years

The recent rumour regarding his medical emergency spread like wildfire on the internet. People believed the reports largely because of two reasons. First, his old age, and second, his health issues over the years, regarding which he himself has been very vocal. William Shatner has publicly discussed several of his health challenges, most notably his decade-long struggle with tinnitus and his more recent diagnosis and treatment for stage 4 melanoma. Shatner's tinnitus is believed to have started in 1967 while filming the Star Trek episode, Arena, when he was too close to a special-effects explosion on set.

At its worst, the tinnitus was so debilitating that he contemplated suicide, telling Globe magazine, "I thought I'd go deaf or nuts." He eventually sought treatment, and his ability to adapt to noise improved. Later, he became an advocate for increased research and awareness of tinnitus. In 2025, he endorsed the nonprofit Tinnitus Quest to raise funds for better treatment options. In March 2024, William revealed he had been diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. He underwent surgery to remove the lump and has since been treated with immunotherapy. He is currently cancer-free.

Previously, in 2016, William Shatner revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and feared it was a 'death sentence' at the time. After a check-up showed high PSA levels, doctors told him he had a terminal illness, but his condition was successfully treated. News reports in 2025 also mentioned that William Shatner has faced heart-related issues in recent years, including aortic valve replacement surgery. He has also dealt with mobility challenges associated with ageing. However, despite all this, the actor has remained mentally strong and faced all the health challenges bravely.
