Fans wishing William Shatner’s a speedy recovery
“I was not going to [come to Comic-Con], in a couple of days I’ll be fine, but right now I’m in a lot of pain,” William added. Shatner’s leg and foot pain was so bad that he was spotted being wheeled out of Comic-Con without a shoe on his right foot, likely because of the pain wearing a shoe caused his injury.
Meanwhile, William Shatner continues to be the spokesman for Priceline, where he and “The Big Bang Theory” star, Kaley Cuoco, star in very entertaining commercials for the company and play father and daughter. A feat that Cuoco’s “Big Bang” character, Penny, would absolutely love to accomplish.
