So, the other day, I was just kicking back, you know, probably watching some old TV show, and this question just popped into my head: where does William Shatner actually live? Like, where does Captain Kirk hang his hat when he’s not, you know, exploring strange new worlds?

My First Brilliant Idea: The Internet!
Naturally, my first move was to grab my phone and punch “where does william shatner live” into the search bar. Genius, right? I figured, boom, answer in two seconds. Well, it wasn’t quite that simple, let me tell ya.
I got a whole bunch of stuff, a real mixed bag. Some sites vaguely mentioned “Los Angeles,” which, okay, not exactly a street address, is it? That’s like saying someone lives in “North America.” Real helpful.
Down the Rabbit Hole We Go
Then I started seeing bits and pieces about a place in Studio City. That seemed a bit more specific. And then there was a whole lot of talk about his horse farm in Kentucky. Apparently, the man loves his horses, which is pretty cool. But is that his main digs, or like, a vacation spot? See, these are the questions that keep you up at night. Or at least, keep you scrolling.
It reminds me of this one time, true story, I was looking for this specific kind of imported mustard. My buddy swore by it, said it would change my life, the whole nine yards. So, I went to like three different fancy grocery stores. One store’s website even said they had it in stock. I drive all the way over there, get to the aisle, and nope. Nada. Then I ask a guy working there, and he’s like, ‘Oh yeah, we used to carry that brand. Maybe try aisle 7?’ I go to aisle 7, and it’s all cleaning supplies and light bulbs. A total wild goose chase! Trying to find out simple stuff can be a real pain sometimes, even when it’s not about a celebrity trying to keep their address private, you know?
Celebrity Life, I Guess
And you know, it makes sense. I mean, if I were that famous, would I want everyone knowing exactly where I live? Probably not. I’d have people showing up asking for autographs while I’m trying to take out the trash in my pajamas. No thanks. Total nightmare fuel, that.

So, I started looking at it differently. It’s less about finding a dot on a map and more about, well, what’s publicly known and generally accepted. It’s not like he’s hiding in a cave, but he’s not exactly putting his address on a billboard either, right?
- So, Studio City, California, that name kept popping up in what seemed like more reliable places. Seems to be his main base of operations.
- And the Kentucky horse farm, that’s definitely a thing. He’s been very open about that, talks about it in interviews. Seems like a passion project and maybe a getaway.
So, What’s the Final Answer?
After all that clicking and reading, do I have a precise, “he lives at 123 Main Street” answer? Nope. Not a clue, really, beyond general areas. And I’m actually okay with that. It was more about the little journey of trying to figure it out, you know? Like a mini-investigation that didn’t really need a dramatic conclusion, just satisfied a bit of curiosity.
What I did gather is that he seems to split his time, or at least has significant ties to both California, probably for work and his main residence, and Kentucky for his passion for horses. And honestly, that’s probably as much as any of us really need to know. It’s his life, after all. My curiosity’s been scratched, and I learned a bit about saddlebreds and the frustrations of grocery shopping. Win-win, I guess. Now, what was I watching again…?
