Adam Nimoy knows the real reason behind ‘Star Trek’ icons William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy’s feud — but won’t say
Adam Nimoy, the son of the late Star Trek icon Leonard Nimoy, knows the real reason behind his father and costar William Shatner’s storied feud — but he isn’t giving any secrets away.
“It’s unfortunate, it’s sad,” he said, calling his father’s relationship with Shatner, 93, who played Captain Kirk in Star Trek: The Original Series opposite Leonard’s Spock, “very challenging.” However, Adam confessed that there was a point in time when the two men “were really beautiful together.”
“Julie and I were scratching our heads like … you’ve knocked heads with Bill, all your professional life,” Adam said. “And now they had some reconciliation and it was beautiful, but it just didn’t, they just couldn’t sustain it. And that’s unfortunate.” Shatner pleads ignorance of the reason behind his and Leonard’s feud. However, he revealed in his 2016 book, Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship with a Remarkable Man, that Leonard had stopped talking to Shatner entirely in the last five years of his life.
