George Takei: “I spent two minutes longer in zero gravity than Shatner” | film

George, you’ve lived a long time, how’s it going? Moses Quest
I’ll be celebrating my 89th birthday in less than two months, I’m enjoying life wonderfully, and here I am, speaking to The Guardian!

Do you have beauty? order? Because – let’s be honest – you look great. TooMuchSpareTime
Well, thank you for the compliment. I believe in discipline. I He does We want – we say – to live long and prosper. There have been plenty of Sunday mornings where I’ve woken up groaning, “I’ll never do that again” after the debauched nights I spent in college on the beer bus. I’ve learned that if you take care of yourself, Mother Nature will be good to you. I was a marathon runner. I started in my 40s, my husband Brad trained me, and I did six workouts in total. The most recent was the London Marathon in 1991. London is one of my favorite cities. You have to run over gravel, so it was terrible on the ankles. I ended up in pain everywhere, leaning on buildings for support. I recently had surgery on my foot, so I guess life is teaching me not to engage in any crazy 26.2 mile races for a while.

Would you have liked the chance to go into space like Shatner did? Luders
I spent two minutes longer in zero gravity than William Shatner. I was in Las Vegas, where they have zero gravity flights. You fly straight, and the inside of the plane is covered with mattresses. The pressure is enormous – this crushing weight on your entire body, and then suddenly your legs and body start floating. We went in a parabolic pattern, so I was less attractive for five minutes. Bill was zero gravity for only three.

The first blueprints for the Enterprise were sold as fan merchandise famous No toilets appeared. Where did you go so boldly? MissIdahoPotato
We are making technological progress with every new development, whether it is space travel or hygiene. What you haven’t seen before is what it looks like under my console. I don’t have to wake up at all.

How many kangaroos? rodHave you eaten since you left I’m a Celebrity…? Turanga by night2
I am constantly learning in life. One thing I never thought I’d have to learn was how to chew a kangaroo penis. It’s a rubbery thing made of leather. You chew and chew, and nothing happens, so you have to bite it into little pieces. It’s very time consuming. Eventually, you’ll grind it up to the point where you can swallow a small piece. She takes another piece, chews it, and softens it until she can swallow. This is how you do it: you keep chewing.

Did Homer Simpson forgive you for almost killing him by serving him killer fugu sushi in the second series of The Simpsons? TopTramp
There was a famous Kabuki actor [Bandō Mitsugorō VIII] Who loved fugu, and had a private sushi maker. The poison is contained in a small sac under the gills. If the sushi maker quickly cuts near the top of the bag, all of the poison will be removed. But the fugu connoisseur likes a little of this poison to come, because you feel a little fizz on your tongue, and that’s where the euphoria comes from. But then she gains resistance, so she asks the sushi maker to let more poison in before she cuts the bag. Mitsuguro died because he kept wanting more and more of this explosion.

What was it like to shoot before Donald Trump On the American version of The Apprentice? Dr_J_A_Zoidberg
Donald Trump’s favorite word is “hoax.” Each team was given display windows in a New York department store to display Ivanka Trump’s designs for her bags, blouses and evening and evening wear. Arsenio Hall came up with this brilliant idea: to get twins from a modeling agency, to give the illusion that they change their clothes instantly, like a magic trick. I thought our idea was more attractive and attractive, but the women’s team won, because it was Donald Trump’s game, and he controlled it.

Are you thinking about running for Boss yourself? Yorkshire x bat and northwich tom
I’ve seen Donald Trump’s behavior. I am almost 89 years old. I enjoy my free time, afternoon naps, and a leisurely dinner. I am a good American citizen, and I serve on some public committees. But I don’t need to be the boss.

Which you are talking about Leonard Nimoy It’s still being made Are you laughing? Raymond
All the things that made Spock so great as a half-human, half-alien were because Leonard was a very creative, imaginative, and inventive actor. In the script, he had to greet a delegation of representatives from an alien planet by extending his hand. “Extending a hand is a very aggressive gesture, and it should be something less threatening. Judaism has this gesture with an open palm, to greet and say, ‘Live long and prosper,'” Leonard said.

The first season presents a lot of facts about the Vulcan civilization. He was attacked by another alien, and the scenario had him punching the guy. “That doesn’t make sense,” he said. “Why expend all that energy and risk tearing tissue and skin to incapacitate them? Spock wants to pinch the nerve center that connects the brain to the rest of the body with the immense power of Vulcan. All he has to do is pinch any opponent and they will collapse without violence or breaking bone or skin.”

Another aspect was his humanity. When they sold the rights to Star Trek cartoons, the animation company hired Bill Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Majel Barrett. [Christine Chapel] And Jimmy Doohan [Scotty]with Jimmy Doohan and Leonard Nimoy voicing all the other male characters and Majel Barrett all the female characters. “What’s important about Star Trek is diversity,” Leonard said, “working together and working as a team. The two people who represent diversity the most are Nichelle Nichols as Uhura and George Takei as Sulu. If they can’t be a part of this show, it’s not Star Trek and I’m not interested in doing it.” It was surprising that the actor was willing to sacrifice his work for the sake of two of his colleagues. This tells us a lot about Leonard Nimoy – his sense of integrity in using any influence he had on behalf of his colleagues.

Did fame come as well? Culture shock? RDolan

In college, I won Best Supporting Actor two years in a row. I participated in one of the most prestigious TV shows, Playhouse 90, when I was still a college student. I had been a working actor for five years when I did that interview with Gene Roddenberry [Star Trek creator]And I really wanted this role. Jin’s philosophy was a real inspiration, as my character was Asian, but was in no way a stereotype of a clown or a villain, which is the role most often offered to Asian actors. It was a pleasure to do Star Trek, but it wasn’t anything surprising.

What advice would you give to younger people? George Takei? A certain donkey
I notice. Be curious. Learn through life and you will become like me…

What Star Trek lesson should we pay the most attention to? nowWith all the crises happening in the world? Graciec
Leonard came up with a gesture that represented infinite diversity. It’s a great philosophy. If all people with different backgrounds, talents, and histories can work together, society will be a better, richer, more vibrant, and more interesting place. But part of this diversity is sinister. The good angels will challenge the black angels. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations is a very important and positive philosophy in contributing to a better society.
