‘Star Trek’ icon William Shatner jokes that Earth is flat and people live on the sun in odd interview

William Shatner is a man with many opinions.

The “Star Trek” alum, 93, talked about aliens, Earth and climate change during an interview on Frank Morano’s The Other Side of Midnight show last week while promoting his paranormal Fox Nation show “Aliens Among Us.”

Shatner, who infamously flew to space on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin in 2021, made a joke that the Earth is flat.

“I was asked by the Flat Earth group to say something about whether the Earth was flat. And I have been around it, and my opinion is that the Earth is flat,” he sarcastically said.

“Just so few people want to believe it,” Shatner added. “It’s flat. I have been there.”

The “Boston Legal” actor also joked that there is life on the sun.

“They wanted to know whether the sun was a planet and if anyone was living there. There are things, entities living on the sun, sending out rays that warm our planet,” Shatner sarcastically explained.

“I want to assure your audience those things are true,” he continued, before seriously adding, “I better not go any further.”

“It’s so bizarre,” Shatner said. “You deal with it all the time. I only on occasion make these forays into the madness that some people want to believe. The Flat Earth people. I’m sure you’ve heard of them. It’s bizarre.”

“And not to see that Chicago is burning up. And Los Angeles is burning up. It’s like, ‘Oh, this is the hottest summer ever in 10,000 years, but it will be better next year.’ No it won’t. It’s gonna get worse until we do something about it. We’re all gonna die.”

Earlier in the interview, Shatner discussed his new Fox Nation show, which examines the possible existence of aliens.

“There is more going on now in this decade than ever before,” he said.

“The program tries to get as close to an examination as possible. But then there is no succinct information,” Shatner went on. “No one has said, ‘Excuse me, sir, are you an alien?’ and the person says, ‘Yes, I am from the planet whatever.’ No one has ever done that. Why?”

At 90 years old, Shatner became the oldest person to fly to space three years ago, and delivered a lengthy monologue about the awing experience after getting back to Earth.

“Everybody in the world needs to do this!” he told Bezos, 60, after the outer space journey.

“As you look down, there’s your blue down there with the black up there. There is Mother Earth and comfort and there is — is there death? I don’t know. Is that the way death is?” he added.

In his 2022 book “Boldly Go,” Shanter said that his trip to space filled him with “overwhelming sadness.”

“It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness,” he wrote.

“Every day, we are confronted with the knowledge of further destruction of Earth at our hands: the extinction of animal species, of flora and fauna … things that took five billion years to evolve, and suddenly we will never see them again because of the interference of mankind,” Shatner went on.

“It filled me with dread. My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral.”

Last year, Shatner said in an interview with Fox News Digital that he will never return to space, comparing it to “revisiting a love affair.”
