Very True. I will remember him for as long as I live.

Yusef Endure boy were you off.....

Nominated for all three seasons, but never won :-( The Emmys never took Trek seriously. But yes, he deserved all three!

Live Long And Prosper

That's really nice and true!

MtechCom That was Nimoy’s last tweet, a couple of days before he died.

I'm a native New Yorker (you have to be born here to understand how it works) and that's exactly right. While checking myself in the mirror I saw out of the corner of my eye John Belushi taking a leak at a urinal in the men's room of a movie theater in Manhattan. He noticed I noticed, put his finger up to his lips as if to say, "shh", I smiled, he smiled back, I left, and that was that. That's my Belushi story. The movie was "Jaws", by the way.

@@Rayoscope That's a cool and awesome story. John Belushi was a bright star that burned out too soon. Bet he was doing backflips on his way into the pearly gates.

@@Rayoscope woww that was cool to hear..even though you were taking a piss next to a legend!

@@Rayoscope And we stayed in a hotel suite right after he did. That's all I'll say about that!

You never know what is around the corner. He lived his life to the full and will likely be remembered for a very long time, far long than any person who is alive today.

And if you do smoke, do everything you can to quit now.

6 years ago now. 🖖🏻

"Journey to Babel" :-)

Even in 2021! Still miss him!

Just s up you2 with your 2016......2021 pathetic people

Yeah, he's helping others quit by doing this. :-)

Indeed, way better than any anti-stuff could be :D I really can't understand people to even start with it (even my own mum angers my just for smoking) still I cannot hate Leonard for it :p I really do love him too much. I wonder however how he could ever do it while Spock was always in his head. He must have said a hundreth of times he was acting illogically or even simply stupid :p :p

+Hanne Lemahieu People are quitting smoking, today, due to financial reasons (meh). ;) :) *Edit*: Inhale my doobie Ain't it kinda groovy You'll be shinin' like a ruby It ain't nothin' to me *** in case you wonder 'bout smokin' LOL xD

collegeman1988 Do you and these other people pay any attention, he quit smoking when he was in his 50s!! Dah.he could have saved alot of lives chose not to do it, only when faced with his mortality.

Therese Bohn people do not want to quit unless they want to quit....did the CDC commercials or warnings on the pack stop Mr. Nimoy. No, it did not.

Kalle but, in the end he could not breathe....not remembering or not breathing...wow...there is no choice.....breathe....you have to breathe.

This. 100%.

Same here! They kept saying, after so many years your lungs are like someone's who never smoked. Clearly the medical professionals got that one wrong. Bad advice, Again.

The agonizer

lol

@@PN1296 ...please.

no such thing.. lol

the Vulcan nerve pinch

Today was 21 months for me Glenn. Good luck.

He died Feb. 27, 2015. You do the math.

My Dad died July 2020. His only, and I mean only health problem was 100% due directly from cigarettes. No, Mr. Nimoy, my Dad was an Olympic smoker. He never was a drinker, never any drugs but boy those cigarettes and coffee were his favorite. Dam cigarettes 🚬.

sadly.. we can confirm things didn't improve :(

D Bechtel Time + Tragedy= Comedy. Not funny yet. :(

Never said it was funny. Although I can understand why you might think I was coming across with a dry, dark sense of humour

RIP Leonard Nimoy.

Be logical. Prayer does nothing. Leonard lived long and prospered. RIP.

LLAP back to you! You're welcome. To see more of Nimoy stuff, check out my Star Trek Blog -trekkerscrapbook.com Enjoy!

just like women

You got that right.

King Voxel IT wasn't like he was just diagnosed it just isn't that kind of disease. He quit smoking in his 50s, probably was diagnosed then, or he'd would have probably continued smoking. If for 30 years he would have really went out and was a champion for COPD, and not smoking, COPD would have a chance to be cured , or at least very advanced treatments. He could have saved many lives.

King Voxel That's the nature of addiction.

Well said. Smoking is illogical.

***** My father went to school with him at Boston English High School. I have his yearbook and there are photos of him in it. But I never even knew my father knew Leonard Nimoy until years after my father died. He never told me. I was going through his old things and found the yearbook and a birthday card Mr. Nimoy gave him. I was a HUGE Star Trek fan as a kid. At first I didn't believe it or thought it was a different Leonard Nimoy but then I asked my Mom about it and she confirmed that it was true. There were only a few hundred of those yearbooks printed. I just wish I had thought to get Mr. Nimoy to autograph if. I'm sure he would have. It and the card are among my most prized possessions. I just don't understand all those times we sat around the TV watching Star Trek together and my parents just never mentioned my Dad knew him, especially the year my brother and I dressed up as Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock for Halloween. I think I was ten and my brother was 7. I wanted to be Spock but my brother had a better face for it.

Im from Ireland and its annoying when he says he is Irish.

Chris Coppola I have read two books by the gentleman and watched numerous interviews. I have never heard him or anyone else claim he was Irish. In fact he has frequently stated quite clearly that his parents were both Ukrainian Jews. Please tell me where you heard anyone say that Leonard Nimoy was Irish?

nunya biznez I was joking

Chris Coppola Oh yeah OK. I wasn't expecting humor on this page. I suppose Irish people are sick of non Irish people claiming to be Irish and that was the context I read your comment in.

***** lol very funny

+Jeremy Hopper Hehe, "Leonard Nimoy: LIVE LONG AND PROSPER". :))

Lol.. Piers has actually modified his gun stance. . So i guess it wasn't a go to topic anymore.

There's always has to be some nutjob shitwad nearby, ready to attempt to belittle people around and be pathetic.

Damn man...

Please look into Alternative, Holistic therapies, Nunya...to help insure good health for the future. Things like herbs and chiropractic can freq. make a HUGE difference.

Bill Benton Stop peddling dangerous bullshit to vulnerable people. People need to get the best standard of care possible. When alternative medicine is proven to help, it will become medicine.

Bill Benton "By definition", I begin "Alternative Medicine", I continue "Has either not been proved to work, Or been proved not to work. You know what they call alternative medicine That’s been proved to work? Medicine." -Tim Minchin, Storm

Bill Benton My aunt died because the holistic witch doctor she was seeing talked her out of correct treatment. While good nutrition helps to keep the body otherwise healthy and strong, one cannot cure cancer with herbs and spices. Actual medicine is needed. I have been cured by proper medical care. I use herbs from my herb garden to season my food and yes there are some things that can be treated by herbs, but again, cancer isn't one of them. As for chiropractors, they are all quacks. There is no actual science to back it up. As for huge difference, it made a huge difference to my aunt, it killed her.

You've welcome!

Carlos, how lovely to read this. Mi esposo es Tico tambien.

+Glenn Leahey Gah, spending too much time -hear- in teh comments... Anywho, so, what's a life not-well-lived, then?! ;DP

+AdamLProductions LOLz, yo! xD

AdamLProductions 82 is above the average life expectancy for a American male. So, he did good...real good,

Oh quit being a kook! You sound like a moron. Leonard is HUMAN, not Vulcan, and he probably only had a few years left at this point. *Note: Leonard Nimoy died Feb. 27, 2015, just a year and 2 weeks after this interview with Piers Morgan.

@@jadziajax2043 Think he was joking.

This is the reason why I think he didn’t cut him off cause of that one issue, but because he didn’t want people remembering him sick. Not uncommon.

Nevyn Tanis He was very nice

Piers is a nasty piece of work, good interview though.

so sorry, I missed this was uploaded 20*14* not 2015. -> facepalm
