William Shatner has branded George Takei a "disturbed individual".
The 84-year-old actor has blasted his former Star Trek co-star and admitted he hasn't had any contact with him in more than 25 years.
He said: "He is a very disturbed individual, that's the truth of the matter is.
"I don't know him. I haven't seen him in 25 years, I don't know what he is up to. It is not a question that has any meaning to me. It is like asking about George Foreman or something."
