Leonard Nimoy hospitalised

Iconic Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy, 83, has been hospitalised following chest pains.

TMZ reports he was taken to UCLA Medical Center last Thursday, but has been “in and out of hospitals multiple times in the last few months.”

Nimoy has lung disease, but the exact cause of his most recent pain is unclear.

Hollywood friends took to social media to lend their support.

On Monday, the man himself shared some poetry.
