Late Wednesday night, a report from TMZ about William Shatner being \u201crushed to the hospital\u201d after a \u201cmedical emergency\u201d sparked alarming headlines across the world. But by Thursday morning, things de-escalated with representatives of the 94-year-old Star Trek legend denying reports<\/a> he was hospitalized and clarifying he had \u201cissues with blood sugar.\u201d Now, the man himself has issued a statement to calm his fans. TrekMovie has also confirmed he hasn\u2019t changed his upcoming appearance plans, including the ones he has planned for this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m perfectly fine\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning, a post on William Shatner\u2019s X (formerly Twitter) account explained he \u201cover indulged,\u201d but assured his fans he was \u201cperfectly fine.\u201d Shatner also warned against believing tabloids and AI.

I over indulged. I thank you all for caring but I\u2019m perfectly fine. I keep telling you all: don\u2019t trust tabloids or AI! \ud83d\ude09 pic.twitter.com\/p1jC202kAx<\/a><\/p>\n
