The star, who played Captain Jean Luc Picard in the show, reveals the iconic lycra suit was so painful to wear, his chiropractor encouraged him to take legal action against the studio for forcing him to sport the outfit, which was one size too small for him.

He says, "I came to loathe the costume. We actually got rid of it after the second season thanks to my chiropractor, who said, 'If they don't take you out of that costume we are going to slap a lawsuit on Paramount for the lasting damage done to your spine.

"The producers wanted to have a smooth, unwrinkled look. It put a terrible amount of strain on the shoulders, neck and back."
