He's a putting on the pounds!

Once one gets to a certain age, the body metabolism just slows down.
Especially if you don't cut down on fattening foods!

Let's not forget what age 87 is for the average person. For his age, he doesn't just look good, he looks superhuman.
Funny that by the age of 87 Zephram Cochrane had already landed on Alpha Centauri and planned to die out in space!

Exactly what I was going to say. He looks *amazing*.
The amazing part that it's not just his looks. His energy, mental faculties, sense of humor and personality are fully intact. He has such a good understanding of the world and his life and his iconic status and his place in fandom. He is very self depreciating and full of wonderful stories. Warm and sharp and aware even at this late stage in life, I can only hope I stay so busy and motivated when I am that age. I saw him last year at a Q&A hosting Wrath of Khan playing in a Concert Hall. For anyone that has never seen it, I highly recommend both seasons of Better late than Never. It is hilarious and heartwarming and I'm just so glad that it exists.
The fact that they have not had him voicing an animated Captain Kirk the last few years is a shame. The man can still speak and still has full range, that's for sure. He never stops writing, singing, recording or performing. If only.......

Shatner clearly made a deal with the Talosians.
We need more side-by-sides of all the accelerated-aged actors in this episode: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, misc. woman, did I miss anyone? Not Chekov.It's interesting now to compare how these actors look(ed) in their old age compared to how these actors looked when made up to be old. Actually, Shatner looks pretty good for 82.
Shatner will be turning 88 this March 22. And I have a suspicion that he's had cosmetic surgery at some point. Still he's extremely active both physically and mentally.
The fake aged Kirk is much older in that picture. The age you quote was from an earlier inquiry scene:
COMPUTER: Working. Subject's physical age based on physiological profile, between sixty and seventy two. Aging rapidly.
KIRK: No, I'm thirty four. I'm thirty four years old.
His toupee looks forty, though. KIRK: No, I'm thirty four. I'm thirty four years old.
Funny that he looked like he was wearing a syrup in the films but not in the series! His Voyage Home interview on the DVD is hilarious with the fake strands of 'his hair' floating about in the wind!

Don't forget "Encounter at Farpoint"! (sorry, no working image account, currently, or I'd put it up myself).
I found this online/ I'm not sure the ages exactly match up, though:
This is a terrific idea, but maybe they should have used JJ-Spock for the Actual Old image.
You mean Spock Prime, I assume. Leonard Nimoy is credited as playing Spock Prime.
Well considering that DeForest was also wearing a syrup his is the farthest from actuality that you can get!!!
