Okay we all know Will Wheaton is a prick.
An obnoxious, egocentric aging hipster, self loathing fanboy.
However my jaw hit the floor reading this extract from his biography. It talks about his first meeting with William Shatner and Jesus Christ it reads like Alan Partridge's memoir Bouncing Back, talking about how "Needless to say I had the last laugh."
Now for the record I'm not saying that Shatner would never do what Wheaton claims in this article. Shatner can be difficult to say the least. Still the way this story is written, again it comes over as Alan Partridgesque the way it presents Shatner as such a monster, and everybody instantly gathers round Will Wheaton and goes on about how he is the best actor in the world.
Here is a link to it. wilwheaton.net/2021/03/the-william-f*cking-shatner-story/
Still if you can't be arsed reading all of that absolute highlights that make Bouncing Back look self reflective and dignified include.
I sat in the chair, and my makeup artist, Jana, began to touch me up. “I heard about what Shatner did to you.” she said. “f*ck him. He’s a jerk, and has been for years. He’s probably just jealous that you’re younger, better looking, and more famous than he is.”
I passed the craft service table, setup behind the starfield that hung next to the Ten-Forward set. Michael Dorn and Jonathan Frakes were pouring cups of coffee.
“To hell with him, W,” Jonathan said. I love it when he calls me “W.”
“To hell with who?” Michael asked.
“Shatner shit all over Teen Idol,” Jonathan told him.
Beneath his latex Klingon forehead, Michael rolled his eyes. “You want me to kick his ass, Wil?”
“No, that’s okay. Thanks, though.” I said.
“I’ve got your back, man,” Michael said
Word got around our set that I was too chicken to introduce myself to the original series actors. It became something of a joke, and the crew began to give me some good-natured ribbing about my reluctance. Next Generation was immensely popular at the time, and I was still riding high on the success of Stand by Me. They couldn’t understand why I was so intimidated by these actors – my face was splashed across the cover of every teen magazine in print.
Did you guys know that Will Wheaton was tv quick's man of the moment in 1988.
