Ian McKellen unwilling to ‘die’ for corona-era films | Entertainment

entertainment">“I am proud that I am still in spirit and that my legs are still working and that I can act,” said the actor. “But now I can’t act because the audience is not allowed to watch you. So you wonder how many years you have left. ”

entertainment">McKellen cannot perform in the theater, but despite safety protocols does not dare to record films. “I wouldn’t feel safe making them. At the age of 81 you belong to the vulnerable group. Am I willing to die for this movie? So I’m waiting at home. ”

entertainment">The actor has won an Olivier Award for his one-man show last year in honor of his 80th birthday. In the performance, McKellen looked back on some of his most famous roles, such as Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
