The Hollywood legend William Shatner is preparing to release a documentary about his storied career that is called You Can Call Me Bill. In a new interview, the 91 year-old former “Star Trek” actor is admitting that he “doesn’t have long to live,” adding that he made this documentary as a way to “reach out to his grandchildren.”
“I’ve turned down a lot of offers to do documentaries before. But I don’t have long to live,” Shatner told Variety. “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’s documentary is set to premiere at the upcmoing SXSW Film Festival in Texas, according to Daily Mail. He is the father of three daughters, and grandfather to five children.
