Ian McKellen turned down $1.5M to officiate Sean Parker’s wedding as Gandalf
Actor and mobile dignity reservoir Sir Ian McKellen has worn some silly costumes in his decades on stage and screen, but always in service of his craft. The beloved thespian made that clear in a recent interview with The Daily Mail, in which he revealed that he turned down $1.5 million to officiate the Lord Of The Rings-themed wedding of Napster founder Sean Parker. McKellen said he might have considered the offer, except that the happy couple requested he do his duties in the guise of Gandalf the wizard. (Whiteness or Grayness apparently TBD.)
