Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s versatile career has made him a global icon. The seven-time Mr. Olympia rose to fame when the docudrama Pumping Iron (1977) and then Conan the Barbarin (1982) hit the cinema halls. By the 90s, Arnold Schwarzenegger had become of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood and an action cinema icon. Alongside Schwarzenegger, William Shatner also established himself as a titan of television and the silver screen after starring as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek TV show and movies. However, the two celebrities met in 2012 at a restaurant.

Coincidentally, Celebrity Net Worth founder Brian Warner witnessed the meeting of the two iconic actors. So how did the meeting between Captain Kirk and the Terminator go? Let’s find out.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t acknowledge William Shatner

In 2012, lady luck blessed Brain Warner when he entered a restaurant called the Brentwood Country Mart. Warner was surprised to see William Shatner sitting near him at a table. He recalled that the Captain Kirk actor was sitting at his table with a few other people. One of them seemed to be his wife, alongside a few kids. However, the Celebrity Net Worth founder was in for a bigger surprise.

He noticed Arnold Schwarzenegger walk into the restaurant as he awaited his burrito. According to Warner, the Terminator actor sat, “directly in front of me and just across from Captain Kirk.” However, the bodybuilding legend was not alone. One of his sons, whose identity was not revealed by Warner, accompanied him.

While Brian Warner was pleasantly surprised at his luck, nothing could have prepared him for what happened next. According to Warner, William Shatner and his family got up to leave when the Star Trek actor spotted the Austrian Oak. Before leaving, Shatner walked to Schwarzenegger, held out his hand, and said, “Bill Shatner, nice to see you.”

However, the former bodybuilder barely noticed Shatner. The Austrian shook Shatner’s hand and didn’t even look up. An embarrassed and red-faced William Shatner stormed out of the restaurant. After he left, the Terminator actor’s son spoke to his father.

“Dad, that was William Shatner,” said the Hollywood icon’s son. “Who is William Shatner?” replied Schwarzenegger. Astonished, his son said, “Are you, serious dad?” and explained who Shatner was. “He’s really famous, I don’t believe you’ve never heard of him.” said his son. However, the bodybuilding icon said, “I don’t care about Star Trek. I didn’t recognize that man.”
