"Magneto, the character I used to play in this tired old franchise" 😂😂😂 I love the shade

[@aslyn8943]

If you watch the full interview, it's part of his response to when Graham asks why he's not in "Logan", and he said "When you get to my age, you want to leave behind these tired old franchises". It's a good callback.

[@PuteraNadim]

He only says that because magneto is not in Logan

[@evanbelisle8464]

I wish Magneto was this bubbly.

@@maxz4830 anyone who doesnt wash is unhygienic. Some people have to get circumcised for medical reasons or religious reasons, but as the Bible says True circumsion is done in the heart by the spirit whos praise is from God not men, which means God preferes people circumcised in their heart not their todger

i know right? :)

[@arborn6115]

wow, didnt know that. I also felt like they at least started acting lessons at the same school or something

[@jamesbyersmusic]

Actually, they have known each other since the 60s. They were both in the Royal Shakespeare Company, but didn't work together all that much, but were acquainted. After sort of knowing each other loosely for over 30 years, it was during X-Men that they finally became close, and then became the best friends we see today. A beautiful thing!

I almost cried watching this segment. Ian McKellen reminds me so much of my father-in-law: even as an older man, quick-witted to the extreme ("why do you two have drinks and I don't?"), self-deprecating, uber-intelligent but not arrogant... I could go on, but I miss my father-in-law so much and this just reminds me off him. Thanks.
