The world is still missing Leonard Nimoy since his passing in 2015. Luckily, we still get awesome stories about the Star Trek icon. Karl Urban has just shared his favorite memory of Nimoy when the actor reprised his role as Spock in the 2009 film.
Urban recently made an appearance at Dallas Fan Days 2018 where he admitted he has several fond memories of working on the Star Trek reboot (via ComicBook.com). Interestingly, his favorite memory involves Nimoy and Star Trek Into Darkness director J.J. Abrams.
The moment was clearly nervewracking for Abrams when he realized he had to direct a Star Trek icon. Urban offered some hilarious details on how the director reacted to working with Nimoy.
It's a hilarious moment that makes everyone realize that even celebrities get starstruck when they meet Nimoy. Maybe Abrams didn't need to coach the actor anymore but it's still cool to know he lost his nerve when he had to approach Nimoy.
Urban's next project is the live-action adaptation of the comic book series The Boys.
