'Star Trek' Star Makes Unexpected Comment About William Shatner originally appeared on Parade.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star Anson Mount, who plays Captain Christopher Pike, is opening up about his relationship with William Shatner.
During an appearance on the July 15 episode of Michael Rosenbaum's podcast Inside of You, Mount said he occasionally has conversations with Shatner, who originated the role of Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek: The Original Series, which aired from 1966 to 1969. Mount surprised Rosenbaum by stating that he doesn't ask Shatner about his time starring in Star Trek. Rather Mount likes to ask about his horse farm.
"I like to ask Bill about his horses ... He's really devoted most of his life to show horses and he goes all over the world with them," said Mount during the podcast interview.
In addition, Mount complimented Shatner for his wit and high energy level at the age of 94.
"I could only pray for that much energy at that age. He's a force of nature. It's unreal," said Mount.
Mount then shared that he has been at fan conventions where Shatner has taken center stage during panels. According to Mount, audiences are absolutely mesmerized by Shatner.
"I've been to a couple of things where they just put him out on stage with a folding chair and he just starts talking. And he'll talk an hour straight and have the audience captivated. He can turn it on like you wouldn't believe," said the actor.
Mount mentioned his appreciation for Shatner in a June 12 Instagram upload. In the caption of the post, Mount confirmed that Star Trek: SNW, which premiered in 2022, will end after its 5th season. He also noted that both Captain Kirk and Captain Pike were at the helm of the USS Enterprise.
"I grew up watching Bill Shatner strut his stuff across the bridge and sit in a chair that I could not fathom would one day be mine to occupy. It has been a dream fulfilled," read a portion of the caption.
Star Trek: SNW Season 3 premieres on July 17 on Paramount+.
