- Days after Sir Ian last joined us in the studio to talk about his latest Shakespearian role, he was rushed from the theatre and found himself in hospital. His fall from the stage left Sir Ian needing time to recover from his injuries, something he did with the help of a new found friend. Today, back in good health, Sir Ian tells us about his starring role in 'The Critic' as Jimmy Erskine.

dressing like he’s 40 years younger and pulling it off with style….what a legend 😍
I love how Sir Ian talking to Buddy! He’s so sweet! I love Sir Ian! He is a world treasure!
@@georgep2247shut it troll
He’s never late, nor is he early- Sir Ian arrives precisely when he means too
Sir Ian is a national treasure. Probably even a worldwide one considering how everybody loves Gandalf
Pardon me, as a Brazilian, I say he is an international treasure
28 year old man here holding back the tears at the thought I get to see Sir Ian play Gandalf again and I’m sure I’m not the only one 🥲
What an icon star... total respect and admiration 😤
The day I read that dreaded headline somewhere my heart breaks.. He's my third grandfather! I love this man and his career! Thank you mister Sir Ian Mckellen for being you!
This man is so incredible. My all time favorite character is Gandalf. I love that he has his dog with him ❤
Love how he put that man in his place with that nonsensical attempt to change a word
IT'S CALLED A SAFE BOX
Yeah it is a cage at the end of the day, regardless of why or how long the animal is kept in it - even if it enters it willingly it's still locked in a box with bars.
it's called light hearted humour
The greatest actor of our time. A lovely man. I love his movies.
Sir Ian McKellen, please play Gandalf one more time.
He's an incredible person and actor but he's done man
@@ElliottPiano They could de age him a little and have another actor play the physical running and fighting stuff. And have Sir McKellen just do the sitting and standing scenes. Like they did with Sir Chrisopher Lee in the Hobbit, Sir Lee was 92-year-old.
@@Vwall007ST I agree!
I didnt know you people have love
@@RaziluluWhat are you on about?
Nice casual talk show. I like the format. Doesn't feel rushed
5:54 - LOTR 🐉
Thanks - less of the interviewers I have to hear the better.
👌🏻
Thank you sir
Legend
Your the best
Incredible gentleman. LOTR wouldn't have been the same without him and Christopher Lee.
What a gent❤hes right though nobody else could ever be our Gandalf
Dear Ian, I am from India, your diehard fan. We wish to see you as Gandalf one more time.
Everyone reads that in indian accent
@danielback7561 so cute 🤭
@@danielback7561 Perfection 🤣
@@danielback7561 my first laugh of the day!
Would love to see Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf again. Let's go!
Presenter trying to be PC: I think we call it a crate.
Ian: Nooo, it’s a cage. 😂
There can be no other Gandalf! Period!
My favourite actor EVER and in MY opinion... BEST actor in the world! He will always be THE LEGEND in my eyes! No one could replace him!
He has a beautiful voice , human bn; inside and out
I'm so on this man's side. Cheering from very far away in a very rural American Borough. Love that dog.
this man is actually on of the all time legends...i hope he continues recovering and being such an engaging and phenomenal human for sooo many generations. fly you fool...i love how he handles the presenters like a pro.
Sir Ian, sir Ian, sir Ian YOU SHALL NOT PASS sir Ian, sir Ian sir Ian 😅
Wish Sir Ian a very long healthy life ahead. Cant think of anyone replacing him as Gandalf !!
One of the greatest performances ever
He's a legend!!!!
Hope he'll stay around with us for many years to come yet!
Ian mckellen 🙌🏼national treasure
Sir Ian, please give us Gandalf just one more time!
National treasure what an great charecter in life as well as on stage and screen.
It brings so much joy whenever I find a new video of his ❤
Bro be wearing UltraBoosts for his long treks through Middle-Earth. Legend.
His laugh makes my heart so happy ❤
Whenever Ian speaks, I can’t stop hearing Gandalf 😅
I know you all see Gandalf but he played Magneto more amazingly than I could imagine! Wish we got more of him in Xmen but he did great!
This man is an absolute legend.
Sir Ian is legend ax
He is a lovely man. Hope to see him soon in Lord of the rings series
Protect this man at all cost! Gandalf is coming back woot!
Sir Ian so excited to welcome you back as Gandalf! You are the, only, Gandalf of our heart!!!!!!!! You are a legend and we love you!!!!
Love Sir Ian. No one else need ever play Gandalf. Funny story, back when the original Peter Jackson movies were announced (yes, I am that old, and quite a bit older), and a LOTR website began revealing the casting, I saw an acting mug shot of Sir Ian and became incensed. He's all wrong, I complained. He doesn't even have the pointy nose that Tolkien described. I really was put out. Then, I saw Sir Ian in the movies and gladly ate crow. He was and is amazing.
Gandalf really plays his Sir Ian McKellen role very well.
Sir Ian is a maiar , he is immortal.
He’s been sent back- to complete his task 😤 thank you Illuvutar
This is the first time i watch him on an interview, he looks very healthy to be honest. I am confident he will return on screen for a movie in middle earth 👌
We as fan of Tolkien and cinema would like to play again the role you nailed sir!!
I love this man.
Absaloute Legend ❤.
Haha “no it’s a cage”
Blunt and to the point. Love him 😂
Oh joy! He's going to play Gandalf again. Can't wait.
we DO NOT WANT different Gandalf. Sir Ian Mckellen is only one we want :)
Love him such a lovely 🥰 man
He's a legend is Sir Ian McKellen I hope he comes back as Gandalf he is so good in that role.
This man looks in great shape and health for his age, hope he has many more years ahead of him and to see him back in the wizard robes once more!
A beautiful soul ❤❤
True legend.
Dumbledore had to be recast because of Richard Harris's death and they had only done a couple of films. Think I still prefer Harris's version than Gambon’s. McKellan has played Gandalf in 6 films.
Buddy knows about the Balrog and what happens when he doesn't listen... :) Wonderful interview! Thanks
Gandalf the Grey mode activated!
hes the goat of the cinema history , legend 💙
I did not know this channel existed until a few minutes ago when the interview with Sir Ian McKellen showed up. No one could EVER play Gandalf the way he did.
Uno de los mejores actores del mundo!!! ❤
He’s not a national treasure. He’s a global treasure.
Gandalf played a critical role in Gollum’s story, so I hope he comes back and makes it!
awesome ! legendary !!!!!
Ian
hoping his health will improve. we miss you Gandalf
Great actor. If you want to see a less mainstream but amazing performance from Ian - check out the adaption of Stephen Kings Apt Pupil - imposing performance
Ian Mckellen IS Gandalf
That’s one cool dude.
They should do a continuation of 20 years after the events of LOTR. But have the Dagor Dagorath, where Morgoth breaks free and returns to Arda. Tolkien never wrote that story, but left it open ended with a vague prophecy. It would be interesting to see Gandalf, and the gang team up with the Valar to take down Morgoth once and for all.
Now he became older than when he was old.
I found Ben and Cat quite rude in this interview, particularly with how they brought up his fall without sensitivity at all.
Exactly what i thought
The guests for these shows know the topics ahead of time.
I agree
Gave me Blake Lively vibes
YESSSSSS
He can still do it and make a great Gandalf again. Of course involving a body double and some de-aging.
I have zero doubts about that.
Sir Ian McKellen will always be the only one Gandalf in Middle Earth. Best wizard casting of all time in movie history.
Gandalf MOVIE COMING SOON!!! YEAH
See ya down the pub later Ian, hope the bar tabs clear
That's not fair, the dog obeys everything because he is THE wizard.
I would love for him to play gandalf
No question, Ian McKellen is the goat. And the work he has done in lord of rings & the hobbit trilogy is nothing short of a masterpiece. But I do feel that age is catching up on him now massively. & If the new gollum movies have 2. I feel they may strongly need to consider a much younger fresher gandalf. As if we remember the fellowship of the ring was well over 20 years ago now.
I may be the only one who agrees with you, the gentleman is reaching advanced age and most of his fans are eager to have him go to work when it might be best for him to quietly retire from filmwork. Apparently, they do not know the ardors of acting in a motion picture, it is taxing work even on the young.
To say no other professional actor can fill the role of Gandalf is, wrongheaded to be polite. I for one would be saddened if he were to take the role and endanger his health or worse during production but the choice is up to him.
He is in...he is going to return as Gandalf
Just pray he doesn't die in the meantime. Also, the man is pretty fit for his age and he still acts a lot. Keeping busy in your old age is the key. Let's hope to see Sir Mckellen as Gandalf one more time.
@@Vwall007ST lets pray that the movie will be good and not a nostalgia cash grab
Please do LOTR Ian! ❤
Dear sir Ian, place your talented feet in Middle-Earth and New Zealand a last time. Step in the doors are wide open! 🙏
"No, it's a cage." Got to appreciate his refusal to switch to "safe space language", even though he is a far left supporter.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS.....up the next film, pretty please Gandalf!
If I was Ian I’d run a mile, given what the role did to his mental health in the Hobbit.
There's only one Gandalf and one Ian McKellen , no one can replace you and Peter jackson and Andy Serkis they will honor you to be in middle earth again .
I swear on my parents... I won't watch the new film if somebody else is playing Gandalf.
Ian is such a lovely man and so down to earth, a total national treasure. I hope so much he's able to play Gandalf again ❤
Oh my god he's gonna be in the Rings of Power why are they putting this man through that slop.
There’s literally a breed of dog called Pointers, bred specifically to point.
I wonder who will play Aragorn
They will probably get Jared leto
aaron taylor johnson
@@Theemptythroneistaken ugh…an unknown would be better
@@islomtuyjonov6952 ...I hope not
Eww, Jared Leto🤮
“How do I act so well?”
Did Ben say ‘mid flight’ ?
Gollum will be directing the hunt for himself...
He is more of a "Magneto" than gandalf! Incredible career.
I see nothing but endless love for everything involving LotR...❤
And they (amazon/hollywood) want to make us out as some kind of -ists, because we don't appreciate them dragging everything we love through the mud.
Oh how I'd love to have him back as gandulf if the script was good!!!
He's spoiling a lot! hahahaha
Man I think movies will wasted on the likes of Gollum. Use the efforts of a feature film to explore better stories in the verse - there's so many. Even with the existing cast - feel like Gollum story will be underwhelming.
i agree, the story of Gollum has been told
@@Ionisus Yea if anything make the focus Gandalf if anyone. Or even Legolas and the elves - if that means we get more Lee Pace as Thraunduil with more scenes I'm all for it.
