George Takei vows never to discuss Star Trek co-star William Shatner again trends now
George Takei has vowed never to talk about former Star Trek Co-star William Shatner again as he attempted to put their long-running feud to bed.
During an appearance on Friday's The Graham Norton show, the actor, 85, said to the host 'this is the very last time I talk about him' as he remarked that questions about their fall out are 'tiresome.'
The interview also saw George call William, 91, a 'cantankerous old man', telling how William used their row as publicity.

While discussing his musical Allegiance, which is based on his childhood experience and family history, George was asked by Graham, 59, about his feud with William.
Clearly fed-up with the narrative, he said: 'You are the last chat show host to be allowed to ask that question as it has become so tiresome to talk about.
'When Bill has a book to sell he needs publicity and accuses us of using him. My subject is more substantial and important.'

George then went on to add one last jibe before attempting to end the ongoing tensions one and for all.
He added: 'He is a cantankerous old man and I will not talk about him anymore. I vow that this is the very last time I talk about him.'
And while George seemingly wanted to end their quarrel on Friday, just days before he couldn't help but take a swipe at William as he once again called him 'a cantankerous old man' in a new interview.

What a line-up: George was joined on the show by Kristin Scott Thomas, Claudia Winkleman, Jamie Oliver, Graham Norton and First Aid Kit (L-R)
The TV personality told The Guardian on Monday that he didn't want to continue engaging with Shatner after the Captain Kirk actor said his ex Star Trek co-stars criticized him in interview for publicity in a barbed interview earlier this month.
'I know he came to London to promote his book and talked about me wanting publicity by using his name,' said Takei, who played the role of Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek. 'So I decided I don't need his name to get publicity.'
Takei, who reprised the role of Sulu for multiple films and shows in the Star Trek franchise, told the outlet that he had 'much more substantial subject matter' that he'd sought publicity for.

'I'm not going to refer to Bill in this interview at all ... although I just did. He's just a cantankerous old man and I'm going to leave him to his devices. I'm not going to play his game.'
When asked if Shatner was 'cantankerous' in his younger years, Takei said that Shatner 'was self-involved,' 'enjoyed being the center of attention' and 'wanted everyone to kowtow to him.'
Shatner, earlier this month made headlines when he told The Times he feels his former costars on the 1960s sci-fi
