Stewart paired his hat and boots with a khaki shirt and jeans, donning a pair of black leather gloves to complete his equestrian-style look.

Stewart was enjoying the sunny countryside with his beloved wife Sunny Ozell who he had met back in 2018 while filming Macbeth at Brooklyn Academy of Music. The pair tied the knot in 2013.

He captioned the wholesome video: “Hey! This is 82!”

The sweet birthday video was met with numerous messages from the actor’s fans, who shared their well wishes for his 82nd birthday.

“From a fellow birthday boy who turned 40 to another. Happy birthday, Sir,” commented one user.

“Happy Birthday, best wishes and enjoy life, and thank you for all your great performances.”

“I love them all, be it fighting the Borg, meeting the ghosts of Christmas, reading sonnets in Covid-time and so much more outstanding work,” another wrote.

“We have the same birthday, 7/13. I used to love watching Star Trek with my dad as a kid, so I felt really proud around age six when I found out I had the same birthday as the actor of Captain Picard. I just turned 35 and never thought I’d have a way to send a casual message to say happy birthday to you on our shared day. Thank you for all the joy you’ve shared!” added another.

Today we salute our captain, our admiral, our dear friend. Happy Birthday, @SirPatStew! #StarTrekPicard pic.twitter.com/XO6Cu8kYMR
