Ian McKellen Says Goodbye To 'X-Men,' 'Hobbit' Franchises, Reflects On Iconic Career and Talks LGBT

[@ShyClam]

I can listen to Ian for hours. I wish he was my grandpa.

[@anonymous.2660]

I wish he was my friend☺️

[@azynkron]

That wouldn't happen, would it..

[@ordinarryalien]

@@azynkron In universe-241, it did.

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Superb interview, what a gentleman and amazing actor.

[@SandraNelson063]

If you haven't seen "Mr. Holmes" please go see it. It's very good. When I was a teen and a voracious reader, my Dad brought me the first Sherlock Holmes collection and I fell upon it with glad cries.A life long affection for the sleuth developed. This movie is a lovely way to set Sherlock in his final years, finally willing to drop the walls and care for someone.

Dear Mr King, I'm an Australian who visited LA in 2018. You very kindly signed an autograph for me on the footpath of Rodeo Drive. Thank you so much for this wonderful interview - with two of my favourite people :) Best regards, Annie

[@tangotangoh]

A rare interview by someone older than him.

[@erinv1232]

I fear the day he leaves this world for the next.

[@RoderBrent]

Careful you might cause a Christian to have a good day.

[@prototype8137]

Weird thing to say.

I agree with Erin that it will be a sad day indeed.

[@JimLeyshonSon]

I wish all shows took the time to set ads to play on breaks. Great interview! All new questions. Maron did a good one too.

[@driftwood8613]

Gandalf plays Ian McKellen perfectly

[@adamw116]

I would watch a travelogue show with McKellan and Stewart anytime! What a great idea actually!

[@cleuziosilva7668]

I'm an English teacher here in Brazil and I love watching interviews like this one. For me it's quit hard to understand everything Ian speaks because of the way he does and his accent - I'm used to the American English - however I keep trying and studying more and more to be able to understand it all ♥

[@WellMefisto]

Some guys are really hard to understand! I'm brazilian too and I always have a hard time listening to the Irish actors Brendan Glesson and Colin Farrel.

[@tonymanfredi6844]

An extraordinary gifted man for many reasons whom graces the stage once in a lifetime.

[@patrickobrien5311]

Larry King's shoulders have shoulders

[@kathydixon3716]

I absolutely love Ian. Such a wonderful actor and gentleman.

[@xxtriggazupxx2423]

Ian mckellen, Maggie Smith, David Attenborough, Michael cane, Michael Gambon, Betty white Larry king are treasures to us all!! And I dread the day they have to leave the earth😔

[@noaheverett103]

I'm hoping there's a chance he returns in Deadpool 3.

[@vBUMPERv]

"Oh, stop it. Well done!"

[@dihboas]

Just imagine Meryl and Ian together?! DAMN IT

[@GeoffreyJohns]

write a script

[@marthaworc7873]

Ian McKellen played King Lear to perfection!

[@GeoffreyJohns]

MUCH better than I thought it would be

[@edithbannerman4]

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

[@idriko9563]

He's the best Magneto

[@simt1973]

I think if Christopher Plummer was not chosen for Cap. Von Trapp in "THe Sound of Music", Ian McKellan would have been a great second choice I think!

[@Telechontar09]

Odd you say that. Plummer was considered for Gandalf

[@nutcaseneo191]

amazing interview

[@johnmangham8134]

Did he really ask Sir Ian McKellen who played Richard in Richard III?

[@edithbannerman4]

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

*Larry **_finally_** landed an interview with a young whippersnapper for a change!*

Kardashians are cheap! - Ian McKellen

[@justaguy2365]

King called the Tolkien movies sci fi

[@patrickobrien5311]

76 yrs old and wears high tops :)

[@vardellsfolly5200]

And now he wants to return as Gandalf in the series..

[@patrickobrien5311]

LotR isn't sci fi lol it's fantasy

[@patrickobrien5311]

And xmen isn't sci fi either really

[@mastermanio2]

@@patrickobrien5311 eh.. I mean, it is technically about biological mutations giving people superpowers. Not exactly high science like interstellar or something, but biological superpowers is still science fiction, being that there's no "biological fiction" genre

[@relvingonzalez]

Skip the intros and previews at the beginning, they are like movie trailers and just ruins/spoils it

[@ILoveCiniminis]

Wonderful

[@patrickobrien5311]

The gap in technology and age in today's society is apparent noticing Larry King has a quarter million subscribers but fucking pewdiepie has 70 million

[@LauraLogan-g4l]

Mr holmes was really good movie

[@amandagergely3853]

Many times you everyone sing and dance and many times they seem pretty good in theatric event.but the movies made from all these actors are pretty good in there majeingp

[@appleskum6520]

He never was in any scifi, he were in fantasy not scifi, scifi is sciencefiction, fantasy is not.

[@ryanm191]

Fyi..only rich people say money is not important to them if your broke or homeless money is important btw

[@IsoEsa66]

Breaking news: Larry King and Ian McKellen are Samsung-fanboys.

[@prototype8137]

Biggest ears in the business.

Larry king is reviewing the grim reaper and later he meets him on conan and finally he takes him

NOOOOOO; fassbender is ok, but, NOOOOOOOO! YOU ARE: MAGNETO!!!!

[@TitoTimTravels]

I came here for Ian and enjoyed his portions, but is there a worse interviewer than Larry King? He has a list of questions that he has to ask - no matter where the conversation could go, if he paid attention to the answers. And he absolutely never listens to the answers, he barely lets them give a full answer.
