I scrolled through the comments looking for someone who expressed exactly what you said. I really saw her there in his face for a few glimpses of time. Incredibly talented and accomplished actor!
More of a suggestion that an exact impression, but he gets the fundamentals across, effortlessly demonstrating mastery over an array of skills fundamental to good acting.
Here’s a thought: I’d cast Ian and Maggie in a comedy thriller about two widowed, quarrelling neighbours who, during one of their bouts, stumble upon an obscure clue about a serial killer who committed a string of murders in their town decades ago. The police refuse to reopen the case as they hooked an innocent guy for it all those years ago so Ian and Maggie begrudgingly work together to uncover it. What the hell is Hollywood doing with all the reboots. Develop original stories with the greats in mind and put them in lead roles ffs.
Which characters would they fit best as? I feel like Michael Caine would be an older, British version of Chandler Bing, because of his skill at playing snarky characters, like Alfred in The Dark Knight trilogy.
@@speedracer2008 Michael Cane definitely Chandler, watch any interviews with him his wit is fantastic. (But he was seen as the ladies man back in the days so perhaps he should be Joey, hmm) And Maggie Smith as Phoebe I guess.
I can tell from his body language that Hugh just idolizes Sir Ian , that’s awesome to see such respect and admiration for a man that I’ve been myself idolizing for years. : ) Can’t ever see this video enough.
He's not afraid to show admiration, you can see the same actitude when he meets football players (like beckham in the same show). Or when he met one of his old students, seems like a good one this Hugh
Great video, awesome story. To anyone wondering the word is "Pounamu", and is pronounced poe-nah-moo. I met Sir Ian McKellen outside a theatre in Auckland. He was wearing his greenstone and we had a chat about its meaning. He was interested in māori lore. He told me how much he enjoyed the traditional feast he was invited to while filming LotR. I remember it was so easy to talk with him that afterwards I walked away thinking, wow did that just happen?
its been years and years since LOTR was filmed and hes old. I think we can let it go haha. The fact that he still remembers that much and actually wears it is awesome!
The look on Hugh’s face, from the moment he hears Ian’s voice, and continuously as he stares at Ian throughout the show makes me think that, despite having worked with him on and off for 15+ years, inside there’s still an amazed and grateful kid in him in awe that he’s meeting one of his childhood heroes
In this same show, Hugh talks about working on X Men with Sir Ian and the love and respect both of them have for each other is incredible. Same with Sir Patrick. This was an amazing show. Find the full show.
not just Ian, he also worked with Patrick and both are giants in their industry. no wonder Hugh reverts to a fanboy anytime he sees one of them, let alone both in the same frame. that's akin to a sensory overload
I remember the story of when him and sir Patrick were at the premiere of Logon. The two dudes ended up in tears and handing on to each other for the characters they had done for so long. Going from heroes, to coworkers, to someone you cry with when its the end for those characters. Its quite the arc.
Rest in peace Dame Maggie Smith. My heart breaks into a million pieces and pray that you are at rest and in a far better place! You are loved by the world over!🥺💔❤️
@@WernerKlorand Oh man, Christopher Lee. Every time. Much love and respect to Alan Rickman, but Lee _knows_ how a man sounds when he's stabbed in the back!
@@WernerKlorand Saruman. Rickman plays Snape as irritable but not evil (and often sympathetic). Christopher Lee's Saruman (and indeed, Saruman in the books) straight-up sells out the good races to Sauron in exchange for a promise of power -- which he never gets, because no one can get the better of the Dark Lord in a bargain.
It's a look that says, 'She's going to have your guts for garters, Ian, when she sees you' 😂😂😂 This might be my favourite story ever told on Graham Norton
@@jochenstossberg5427 mate this is the same guy who laughed at Michael Dorn scuffing a line into one about "playing" with boys, and starred in things like Love Boat Next Generation and the Emoji Movie
@@judesantos8120 I dont have issue with him, but everyone can have some class and be a bit quirky, just wanna add that he took an actor's bunch of hair from set to keep in his house. They did discuss this in this show but I am not sure which one, maybe the one with jennifer lawrence, james mcavoy and micheal fassbender.
I think this is one of my favorite line ups on the couch. I just want to sit with them for hours and listen to all these men tell me stories about their lives. Oh what fun it would be.
He had explained earlier when he first came out that he was wearing the tie because he had been visiting a school earlier in the day and they asked him to wear their school tie on the show when he had mentioned he was going on.
Norton has to be the best TV interviewer in the world - and that surely is the reason his guests are consistently of such a high caliber - like the one and only Sir Ian McKellen. Never once have I clicked on a Norton clip and been disappointed...
@@qcdoomqc This is literally the secret to it, nothing else. Watch Jimmy Fallon ( who is terrible for it). He interrupts constantly.

It doesn't always work. King of Thieves had an amazing cast of veteran British actors and it was a flop with the critics. Personally I thought the movie was great.

I chatted with him a bit after the show and he gave me one of the red roses that some fan had given to him. To this day, I have it pressed in my Complete Shakespeare volume! Brilliant, brilliant actor.
I would love to see great actors and actresses like Ian and Maggie having good ol' friendly English banter amongst themselves. With how lovely and awesome they are, I could imagine it'll be a hoot.
I was browsing randomly and I only just noticed. Feb 24...this...this is fresh! I thought it was like 2-3 years ago but they are ....they are actually like this. I am glad in the year 2017 they are still as funny and cool.
I love Sir Ian’s stories about himself and Dame Maggie. The one he tells about the pair of them at Buckingham Palace and them both actively looking for the throne room, finding it and both sitting on the Queen’s and Prince Philips thrones is fricking hilarious! 😂😂😂 he’s always misbehaving when he goes to the Palace it seems. He’s snuck out onto the main balcony for a cheeky cigarette, gone wondering about in other random rooms he shouldn’t be going in yet the Queen still invites him back often and allows him to be left unattended! I’m surprised she doesn’t have guards watching him the whole time from when he arrives until he leaves just to make sure he stays where he’s meant to be. 😂😂😂💙💙
@@jochenstossberg5427 I’d not got notifications for this comment until now so completely forgot I wrote it, until you commented. Looking back at what I wrote about all the things that he’s admitted to doing everytime he visits BP and just goes where he likes even though he knows he shouldn’t. Actually reminded me of all that stuff that came out about MeAgain doing the exact same thing before she even married Just Harry. And she got into so much trouble because she kept going into rooms she wasn’t allowed to and caught going through drawers and cupboards, that The Queen apparently insisted that anytime her and Just Harry visited that MeAgain wasn’t allowed to be left on her own and had to be accompanied by members of staff if she needed to use the restroom, changing room or Just Harry showing her rooms that he was allowed to go in. And it wasn’t just BP either it was all the Royal residency’s that she kept getting caught by staff members in places she shouldn’t have been, so she had to be watched and followed everywhere incase she ended up somewhere she shouldn’t! Yet it seems The Queen let’s Sir Ian and Dame Maggie do the exact same thing and like you said has a great sense of humor about them doing it, which is probably why she always asks them back, lets them as she knows they’re not going to cause any trouble or steal a famous and very valuable painting, vase or anything else that’s been in her family for generations(they probably stole an ashtray each or a roll of toilet paper like a lot of people seem to admit to taking if they get invited to BP!) and then laughs about what the pair of them got up-to when her staff members fill her in on their antics and “Adventures around Buckingham Palace.” (I bet they could write a whole book of stories about what they’ve gotten up-to when visiting the place, and that’s probably the name they’d call it too, because there’s always something new one or both of them have done when they’ve been for another visit!) 🤣🤣🤣Unlike jewelry that apparently started disappearing when MeAgain came on the scene! 🧐
@@DRpokeme there is no actual CCTV inside Buckingham Palace itself from what I’ve seen, read and heard or any of the Royal residency’s, It’s all just on the outside, that’s why The Queen always has an armed guard outside her bedroom all night until early in the morning, due to the amount of times people have managed to get inside the building and up to The Queen’s actual bedroom with one guy actually making inside once and The Queen sat in bed talking to him because she had no way of contacting anyone else to report him. So she stayed awake all night and they just talked. He didn’t want to harm her apparently, he just wanted someone to talk to and thought The Queen was the best person because of everything that was happening in the UK at the time, people losing their jobs and homes and benefits getting cut Etc… from what I’ve read. Some other guy tried and he did want to harm her and Prince Philip and he almost made it to her Bedroom but got caught by a member of staff who had woken up to get a drink of water I believe. But multiple people have got inside the building, so they was added to the outside. It probably explains why all the reports of MeAgain going around and getting caught in rooms she shouldn’t have been in and going through drawers and cupboards was all reported to The Queen by members of staff who’d caught her which caused her getting into trouble and The Queen ordering that she’s not to be left alone and has to be accompanied by members of staff if she needs the restroom, changing room or was shown around by Just Harry well before they were even married she was caught snooping around in places she shouldn’t have been, and not just BP but all Royal residency’s MeAgain visited she had to be escorted around by members of staff because she couldn’t be trusted. And then there’s the missing jewelry that seemed to start going missing when those two got together apparently! A pair of earrings that belonged to the crown collection went missing the day MeAgain wore them and other pieces are missing and they vanished when she was wearing them apparently! So if they had CCTV inside they would be able to prove exactly what she was doing and not to just members of staff.
She always made me crease laughing when she would say something sarcastic and then do a double take. She was a master at it. Almost as if she was checking if they heard her with the 1st look and then not caring if they were upset with the 2nd look 😂😂😂
I can hear Maggie saying just that, her timing is always flawless.
O yessssss! You can wake her up in the middle of the night and she will deliver her line and it will be perfect. Maggi is the greatest!

So Gandalf got burned by McGonagall?
“Sit down, Mr. Gandalf. Before I dock ten points from Rivendell.”

"Don't be ridiculous," snapped McGonagall. Gandalf took a biscuit.

Michael Caine, Helen Mirren, Patrick Stewart, Judi Dench, Ian Mckellen, Maggie Smith.
Older version of Friends

Maybe a role for Celia Imrie too! She is amazing as well!

I would love to see great actors and actresses like Ian and Maggie having good ol' friendly English banter amongst themselves. With how lovely and awesome they are, I could imagine it'll be a hoot.
I was browsing randomly and I only just noticed. Feb 24...this...this is fresh! I thought it was like 2-3 years ago but they are ....they are actually like this. I am glad in the year 2017 they are still as funny and cool.
I love Maggie Smith -- even when somebody else is doing an impression of her, she still somehow shines through... lol
I find myself back here after the passing of Maggie, an icon to the end
RIP Dame Maggie Smith. Legend.
I love Sir Ian!! And I also love Dame Maggie--they are good friends, of course! :)
Watching this after hearing news on Dame Maggie 😢
Haha I can hear Maggie saying that, that’s so funny 😂😂❤
Omg I would pay to see him and Maggie just throwing shade to each other.
They should play husband and wife or siblings in something 😂
7 years later this clip still living rent free in my mind 😂
Rest in Peace, Dame Maggie Smith ❤
I love Sir Ian’s stories about himself and Dame Maggie. The one he tells about the pair of them at Buckingham Palace and them both actively looking for the throne room, finding it and both sitting on the Queen’s and Prince Philips thrones is fricking hilarious! 😂😂😂 he’s always misbehaving when he goes to the Palace it seems. He’s snuck out onto the main balcony for a cheeky cigarette, gone wondering about in other random rooms he shouldn’t be going in yet the Queen still invites him back often and allows him to be left unattended! I’m surprised she doesn’t have guards watching him the whole time from when he arrives until he leaves just to make sure he stays where he’s meant to be. 😂😂😂💙💙
I love the Queen. She knows when and how to be a good sport.
CCTV
Two lefties in the palace trying desperately to be unimpressed. Obviously the Queen has a great sense of humor. And the tolerance level of a saint.
@@jochenstossberg5427 I’d not got notifications for this comment until now so completely forgot I wrote it, until you commented. Looking back at what I wrote about all the things that he’s admitted to doing everytime he visits BP and just goes where he likes even though he knows he shouldn’t. Actually reminded me of all that stuff that came out about MeAgain doing the exact same thing before she even married Just Harry. And she got into so much trouble because she kept going into rooms she wasn’t allowed to and caught going through drawers and cupboards, that The Queen apparently insisted that anytime her and Just Harry visited that MeAgain wasn’t allowed to be left on her own and had to be accompanied by members of staff if she needed to use the restroom, changing room or Just Harry showing her rooms that he was allowed to go in. And it wasn’t just BP either it was all the Royal residency’s that she kept getting caught by staff members in places she shouldn’t have been, so she had to be watched and followed everywhere incase she ended up somewhere she shouldn’t! Yet it seems The Queen let’s Sir Ian and Dame Maggie do the exact same thing and like you said has a great sense of humor about them doing it, which is probably why she always asks them back, lets them as she knows they’re not going to cause any trouble or steal a famous and very valuable painting, vase or anything else that’s been in her family for generations(they probably stole an ashtray each or a roll of toilet paper like a lot of people seem to admit to taking if they get invited to BP!) and then laughs about what the pair of them got up-to when her staff members fill her in on their antics and “Adventures around Buckingham Palace.”
(I bet they could write a whole book of stories about what they’ve gotten up-to when visiting the place, and that’s probably the name they’d call it too, because there’s always something new one or both of them have done when they’ve been for another visit!) 🤣🤣🤣Unlike jewelry that apparently started disappearing when MeAgain came on the scene! 🧐
@@DRpokeme there is no actual CCTV inside Buckingham Palace itself from what I’ve seen, read and heard or any of the Royal residency’s, It’s all just on the outside, that’s why The Queen always has an armed guard outside her bedroom all night until early in the morning, due to the amount of times people have managed to get inside the building and up to The Queen’s actual bedroom with one guy actually making inside once and The Queen sat in bed talking to him because she had no way of contacting anyone else to report him. So she stayed awake all night and they just talked. He didn’t want to harm her apparently, he just wanted someone to talk to and thought The Queen was the best person because of everything that was happening in the UK at the time, people losing their jobs and homes and benefits getting cut Etc… from what I’ve read. Some other guy tried and he did want to harm her and Prince Philip and he almost made it to her Bedroom but got caught by a member of staff who had woken up to get a drink of water I believe. But multiple people have got inside the building, so they was added to the outside. It probably explains why all the reports of MeAgain going around and getting caught in rooms she shouldn’t have been in and going through drawers and cupboards was all reported to The Queen by members of staff who’d caught her which caused her getting into trouble and The Queen ordering that she’s not to be left alone and has to be accompanied by members of staff if she needs the restroom, changing room or was shown around by Just Harry well before they were even married she was caught snooping around in places she shouldn’t have been, and not just BP but all Royal residency’s MeAgain visited she had to be escorted around by members of staff because she couldn’t be trusted. And then there’s the missing jewelry that seemed to start going missing when those two got together apparently! A pair of earrings that belonged to the crown collection went missing the day MeAgain wore them and other pieces are missing and they vanished when she was wearing them apparently! So if they had CCTV inside they would be able to prove exactly what she was doing and not to just members of staff.
Ugh. This hits different now. ❤️ Legends, both of them.
In 6 words or so you immediately recognize Maggie Smith. Sir Ian is such class act.
This bit NEVER gets old!!!
Who is here after the announcement of the passing of The Legend Dame Maggie Smith 😢?
hahaha oh I just love Maggie Smith's wit!! Those two would be brilliant in a film together... I don't think they have done one?
martianboy Harry Potter
They were only in Richard III together. That’s it. They are also friends that hang out once in awhile.
Besides the one film they did together I'd imagine at some point they were on stage together.
Memories are all that are left now of the late great Maggie Smith.
0:35 , that gesture by graham is what sepparated him way above any talk show host.
Anyone else here after she passed? 😭😭😭
There is nothing more charming than a person able to laugh so heartily about himself...
She always made me crease laughing when she would say something sarcastic and then do a double take. She was a master at it. Almost as if she was checking if they heard her with the 1st look and then not caring if they were upset with the 2nd look 😂😂😂
