Patrick Stewart - Awesome Man

[Australis]

Actor Sir Patrick Stewart has given a heartfelt response and a hug to a young Star Trek fan who had been sexually and physically abused.

The star was speaking at Comicpalooza 2013 in the US state of Texas at the weekend when audience member Heather Skye thanked him for a speech about domestic abuse which she said had helped her.

That's pretty good, in all senses of the word.

That is just precious.

It's kind of gratifying when your heroes...are.

That's nice! On TV Guide, he was trying pizza for the first time ever. And I didn't know this. He's 72 years old!!! Wow! Still looks as distinguished as he was as Picard.

 

[Amaris]

He is just a wonderful person.

This guy is a badass not only as Picard, but in real life too. I read this story yesterday and almost teared up.

Ah that was awesome. Made me applaud him even though I am behind a screen.. and I hate it when people applaud speeches on the tv..

George Takei posted the video on facebook and I discovered that, yes, it is possible for The Picard to get more awesome lol
