London (ANI): William Shatner, who played Captain James Kirk in Star Trek, has confessed that he has never watched the TV show or any of the spin-off movies that propelled him to fame. The 76-year-old actor refuses to watch himself onscreen because he believes '(he) sucks" at acting in the popular sci-fi series.

"I never watched Star Trek and I have not even seen any of the Star Trek movies. I don't watch myself. When I direct and have to look at filmed scenes of myself, I suck," the Mirror quoted Shatner, as saying. However, on his Internet blog Shatner regrets failing to lift any memorabilia from his days on set. "I've kept nothing. Given the choice at the time of having a Star Trek shirt or a designer suit, I'd have taken a suit. I should have known better," he stated on his blog.

I, personally, can't understand not wanting to watch so you can learn to improve. However, I have read of other actors who refuse to watch their own work. I am shocked that he didn't keep anything from the TV series. I still have stuff from my school days LOL
