Whether I keel over as I&#8217;m speaking to you or 10 years from now, my time is limited, so that&#8217;s very much a factor. I&#8217;ve got grandchildren. This documentary is a way of reaching out after I die.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Actor and Canadian actor, Michael Sheen, reflected on the process of getting older. &#8220;The sad thing is that the older a person gets the wiser they become and then they die with all that knowledge. And it&#8217;s gone. It&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m going to take my ideas or my clothing with me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The documentary &#8220;You Can Call Me Bill,&#8221; This is being presented through the crowdfunding site Legion M, Variety <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/digital\/news\/william-shatner-documentary-equity-crowdfunding-sells-out-1235508016\/\"><span>Not noted<\/span><\/a><span> In a previous report. Legion M, unlike other crowdfunding models gives investors an equity stake of the entertainment projects they support. According to the publication, all shares of Shatner&#8217;s documentary which totaled $790,000.000 were bought within one week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Shatner also used the interview for discussion about climate change, and his views on humankind. &#8220;destroying&#8221; The entire planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The actor spoke out about his experience aboard Jeff Bezos\u2019 Blue Origin spaceship in 2021. He said that he felt emotional upon landing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;When I came out of the space ship I was crying, just sobbing, and I thought \u2018Why am I crying? What&#8217;s going on? I&#8217;m in grief. What am I grieving about? Oh s***, I&#8217;m grieving about the world, because I now know so much about what&#8217;s happening,'&#8221; He stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;I saw the Earth and its beauty and its destruction. It&#8217;s going extinct,&#8221; Shatner insisted. &#8220;Billions of years of evolution may vanish. It&#8217;s sacred, it&#8217;s holy, it&#8217;s life and it&#8217;s gone. It&#8217;s beyond tragic. We stupid f***ing animals are destroying this gorgeous thing called the Earth. Doesn&#8217;t that make you angry? Don&#8217;t you want to do something about it?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The sentiment was echoed by the &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; Alum <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/william-shatner-had-strongest-feelings-of-grief-about-climate-change-during-space-trip-all-i-saw-was-death\"><span>As stated before<\/span><\/a><span> His trip to space. &#8220;It filled me with dread.
