A recent Reddit post on the popculturechat board prompted a wave of admiration for Shatner’s remarkable appearance.

"I am a caregiver for my 91 year old nana, and based on my experience with her and several of her friends, it is VERY hard for people in their 90s to keep weight on. I think this really contributes to how fantastic he looks," a user said.

"His voice still sounds much younger too. He doesn't sound like an old man," another wrote.

"Wot. 93? That face-lift is amazing? Or he has discovered time traveling?" a user wrote. One noted, "DAAAAAANG! HE LOOKS GOOD! He has aged really well, gd."
