William Shatner Marks 95th Birthday With Playful Post, Stresses Routine Surgery Recovery

Fresh family photos alongside a new PETA message kept the 95-year-old in the public eye.

Overview

  • He celebrated turning 95 on March 22 with an X post reading, "At 95, I'm still smokin'!" and shared two recent photos shot by his daughter Lisabeth on Instagram.
  • Newsweek reported the birthday post drew about 5.1 million views as fans praised his humor and longevity.
  • He said his March 11 shoulder procedure after a late‑2025 horseback fall was routine and called tabloid claims of a "shattered" shoulder completely untrue.
  • At the Saturn Awards earlier in March, he described being thrown from a horse and referenced a "reverse" shoulder operation he was scheduled to undergo.
  • He appeared in a new PETA video urging people to care for animals and warning about environmental harm, as outlets also revisited his seven‑decade career and 2021 Blue Origin flight at age 90.
