His weight struggle has been the big distraction in his later years plus his drinking. You have to give it to him, he has endured and reinvented himself very successfully over the years. He is very egotistical but there is a fine line between ego and confidence.
I have to agree with @meumar on this -- he was looking great in this clip, with the exception of the bad toupee which is distractingly bad... I really wish he had gone with the toup he was wearing during the original series when he did TMP - he would have looked awesome.
@vmurt There's a website dedicated to the history of Shatner's struggle with his hairloss. It's pretty meticulous, but very amusing. Just Google "Shatner's Toupee" folks.
I love William Shatner :) anyway I think Star Trek The Motion Picture was a rehash of The Changling and other episodes mixed together what do you think of the film :)
What? For me, the toupee is distracting, it's so bad -- you can clearly see where it ends and his real hair begins. The colour doesn't even quite match.
Bad toupee but good interview!

He seemed to age a lot from the 4th trek movie to the 6th trek movie.

You must admit, the hairpiece does look natural.
