I’ve seen Ian McKellen three times. Once while I was at Uni in Lincoln and they were in town filming The Da Vinci Code. We were walking through Castle Hill and he was walking with who I assume was his assistant going to a nearby pub (the cast where staying at The White Hart Hotel which is literally a few yards away) and he actually said hello to us as he past. We didn’t want to bother him for a photo but I’ve always thought that was a nice gesture from him. He could’ve simply walked past and not said anything, but he was really nice in that moment.

The other two times were in London. He was by himself walking towards Trafalgar Square the first of those times, and the most recent was him being brought via Moped to the theatre he was performing his one man show at as we were making our way to the London Coliseum

He made my mate cry when she was working as a runner.

I feel bad mentioning it to be honest, because people are allowed to be flawed occasionally and I have no idea if he's like that all the time. He was indeed rude to her throughout a shoot on a day that was very stressful for everyone. I still think about it when I see him in things though.

I have a feeling that unless you were on set during the first few seasons of Star Trek The Next Generation there aren't any.

Ian McKellen told me to get the fuck out of his way on the escalator at Liverpool Street tube station in 2010, I've held a grudge ever since.

Were you standing on the wrong side? If so, he was right to tell you that.

I mean if you'd just shouted "you shall not pass! at him, it would've been worth it.

Yeah, bet no one's ever done that to him. He'd have LOVED it I reckon.

Roisin Conarty at a John Mulaney gig at the Palladium last night. This is the second time I've seen her at a gig. In stark contrast the last time was seeing Jordan Brookes in a room above a pub.
