God, he’s just such a QUEEN!!!
Rock on, Ian. Did anyone see that SNL he hosted? It was the best ever. Definitely my favorite ep. IAN! IAN! IAN!
Plus, he’s a really good actor! He’s got both! And action figures! Action figures and a boyfriend? He’s a god. No question. Happy New Year, Ian McKellan.

That’s SIR Ian McKellen to YOU!
I’ll kneel for him.
And he’s going to be Dumbledore! How about that!
But he’s still a top actor, and I dips me lid.
Ian McKellan has a boyfriend? As in, Ian McKellan is gay? Did I misread that? I do have a lot of wine in my system right now…
Well, if he is, that’s super awesome, though I really never thought about it before and don’t think it’s exactly essential information, either. But yes, a top actor indeed, and I’ll doff my own hat to him, or would if I had one.
Yep, Ian McKellen’s gay. Yes, he’s super awesome.
I’ll stop with the me too posting now.
Yes, he has a boyfriend. A younger boyfriend, if that’s who he was at the Oscars with that had his hand on his knee and he is damned hot, too.
Way to go, Sir Ian!
But he is not going to be Dumbledore.
McKellen. My bad.
He still rocks. His SNL is still the highlight of the series. He is rather groovy indeed.
And to Grelby, Sir Ian is very, very, very, gay. I believe those were the Queen’s words when she knighted him :-)…

damn smileys.
Sir Ian rocks! Anybody see him in Gods and Monsters, with Brenda Fraser?
Someone didn’t know Ian is gay after the hoopla in the newspapers after he went high profile and people were bitchin g and moaning on the net whether a gay man could play Magneto in the X-Men? Wow.
So the man of my dreams is gay and thirty some years older than I, and both of us are in relationships with other men.
We can work through these tiny details, Ian!
Oh, I coudln’t get over the hottie he took to the Oscars! Ian is so fabulous, and knew the cameras would be on him. Good show! So to speak.
If I was a man, I would do him.
Envy me. Got to see him Live! on! Stage! starring with Helen Mirren in DANCE OF DEATH, an adaptation of a Strindberg play. He thundered in anger, squealed with laughter, dropped bon mots like bread crumbs all over the stage, and did a jig that would have done credit to a man half his age. It was last winter at the Broadhurst in NY.
That is my favorite BF movie (hey, he’s cute, leave me a lone!) and Ian and Brendan work really well together, I think.
He’s also one helluva nice guy, according to the local press:
(Victoria Times-Colonist, December 20th edition)
McKellen was in Victoria again to shoot Carl Bessai’s upcoming “Emile.”
I realised with a bit of horror that I have a crush on Sir Ian, too. Great. As if my taste in real life men isn’t bad enough, now I have a crush on a gay man old enough to be my grandpa.
But I have adored him forever. I was one of those nerdy drama geeks, and I had a bootleg copy of the Royal Shakespeare Co.'s production of MacBeth with Sir Ian and Dame Judi Dench. I used to loan it to my English teachers. Oy. And I HIGHLY recommend the Richard Loncrainne version ofRichard III. I’ve never liked that play, until I saw Ian as Richard. And the last scene ROCKS.
And another thumbs up on Gods and Monsters. I sort of imagine Ian as a WAY toned down version of that character.
I read somewhere that while they were all in New Zealand, the actors who played the members of the Fellowship of the Rings all got the elfin number 9 (for nine members) tattoos. INCLUDING Ian. How cool is that? It’s one thing for the youngin’s to get tats, but so rockstar cool for Ian to do the same.
OK, now I’m embarrassing myself.
Of course, some of the younger men got their tattoos in the, er, groin area, while Sir Ian has said that his is on his shoulder.
Dammit!
Wasn’t he also in Apt Pupil with Brad Renfro? It was an evil, evil SK story that I never thought would get made, but I still haven’t seen it yet! I watch a lot of children’s movies, though!
The last scene? Hell, the opening speech alone is reason to watch the movie. Any man who can start the “Winter of our discontent” speech at a banquet and end it in the men’s room is bloody awesome in my book.
