<\/p>\n
Sir Patrick Stewart has admitted he’s lost two inches in two years<\/p>\n
\nThe 83-year-old ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ actor has confessed he’s been getting worried about his diminishing stature so he talked to his wife Sunny Ozell, 44, about it and she put it down to a natural part of the ageing process. <\/p>\n
\nIn an interview with the Observer newspaper, he explained: “Somehow I\u2019ve lost two inches over the past two years. I don\u2019t know how the hell it\u2019s come about. My wife, who\u2019s younger than me, significantly, has said, \u2018Well, it\u2019s ageing \u2013 you shrink.\u2019 I shrink? When will it stop!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHowever, despite his advancing years, Stewart is looking to the future and is hoping to take on more acting roles – and he’s keen to take on more comedy work as well as returning to the theatre.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “I\u2019ve got ideas. I would like to do more comedy. Some of the comedy I\u2019ve done, I\u2019ve loved it. To be aware of people laughing at something I\u2019ve done is the most satisfying thing. I like it more than crying \u2013 I\u2019ve seen people crying. But laughter is glorious.<\/p>\n
\n“And I like being on camera very much and I hope to do more theatre. Occasionally, people will call me up and say, \u2018How about King Lear? You\u2019ve never done King Lear. You should!\u2019 There are possibilities \u2026 and that\u2019s exciting.”<\/p>\n
\nThe screen star wrote his memoir ‘Making It So’ during the COVID-19 lockdowns when acting work dried up and in the book he opened up about his personal life – revealing he’s been having therapy for decades after “losing his way” in his 50s.<\/p>\n
\nStewart confessed he turned to alcohol and sleeping pills to cope after his split from wife Sheila Falconer in the early 1990s, but found his way out of the dark time with professional help. <\/p>\n
\nWriting in the tome, he explained: “I felt my life had lost its way. Sleeping pills, yes. Alcohol, yes. They became a part of my life. But, eventually, I became able to deal with that. Again, that\u2019s the advantage of beautiful therapy \u2013 that you can talk to someone. Of course, most of the time they say, \u2018And how did that make you feel? What was that like?\u2019 You know, I think most of us spiral downward from time to time. <\/p>\n
\n“There are moments when we ask questions of ourselves, unfairly perhaps. My hope is that it\u2019s all behind me.\u201d”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
