Stewart wishes Picard could chill out

The very cool Captain Jean-Luc Picard may have guided the USS Enterprise through its death-defying adventures in deep space ... but the man who plays him wishes the bald-domed hero would lighten up, just a little.

Patrick Stewart has, endlessly it seems, been beaming up - and down - and engaging in the long-running Star Trek: The Next Generation television series and he and the crew are set for a big-screen return in Star Trek: Nemesis in which they come across the evil Romulans, bent on the destruction of Earth and all that we hold dear.
