@Jesus is God You left out all the best parts! Genesis 32:30 - “… I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” Contradicted by... John 1:18 - “No man hath seen God at any time…” And let’s not forget the man in the sky told us to act accordingly unto: 1 Samuel 15:3 - “This is what the Lord Almighty says ... 'Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.” Incase you haven’t caught up: Gay = Okay Jesus = Great Ape Killing Women and Infants = Bad
I love Ian McKellen's personality.

imiss toronto acting camp has always been popular with the sexually misguided. It’s a pose, of course. You’re too young to remember “Beyond The Fringe” which had a truly hilarious camp sketch. Ah, those were the days, when we were still allowed to laugh at this idiocy
This was so lovely to watch. Like watching two friends have a chat and you just so happen to be in the room
There is a reason he is SIR Ian McKellen- pure class, with a great sense of humor
More heartwarming than Sir Ian talking about his younger days and his struggle with being gay when it was against the law is to hear him talk about how thankful he was to make a killing in the cinema. That is not something which you ordinarily expect from a Shakespearean, especially one of his caliber. Makes it that much easier to enjoy the material in his filmography.
if sir Ian just talked for hours and hour I'd listen to every word . his voice is so calming
LOVE YOUR SHOW !! You two are both amazing

Great Interview buy Sir Ian is absolutely right about prostate cancer---GET CHECKED. I wouldn't even wait till 60, start in your mid 40s. Most men, if they live long enough, will develop prostate cancer. Sometimes it's benign and requires no action, sometimes it's aggressive and may spread and kill you. However if you catch it early it is VERY treatable. My dad had it, caught it early, had it removed and 6 years later is doing completely fine. Gets checked every 6 months, so far so good, no more cancer.

There's an interview Ian did from the 70s with Dick Cavett here on KZread, so young and love his look.
I love Ian McKellen but nothing beats his power on stage. I've seen many different performances but his Richard III at the NT is brilliant. His opening of "Now is the Winter of our Discontent" is like machine gun fire. He is best on stage; he feeds off the audience.
2 beautiful human beings chatting like old friends. :)
Alan is really funny, his quips remind me of Clive Anderson, but obviously less biting
Must we have titles that are indicative of one or two sentences in the entire interview?
There is something very soothing about Ian, he is very warm and charming.
I love the faces they make when drinking the alcohol :D

Ian and Derek would have been an excellent couple, which is sad because it's a "what might have been" instance. You can tell how much they truly care about each other as good friends and I wouldn't want Freddie and Stuart played by anybody else on "Vicious." Derek is happy with Richard (for about 40 years now) and I only hope that Ian finds somebody that he is happy with. This is a great interview.
He is a great man, very charming (?). But it´s weird becauseI can´t see Magneto..

Prostate cancer is deadly when it appears at an earlier age. However, when it appears in ages 70 and beyond for some unknown reason it behaves in a very indolent way
Such a roll model this man i dont see wht people hate gays i have gay mates just cause they like the same sex doesnt mean they aint human ... sir ian is a role model he was the reason i got into acting in school and passed my corse lol
6:55 - 7:17 Is when he "discusses being gay in the 60s", except all he says is that he had a crush on his cast mate, and vice versa, and it was illegal then.

People tend to crucify me for me stance on gay people. I disagree with the notion that Ian McKellen is awesome because he is gay. Instead, I think that he is a great actor, a good person with a lot of beautiful qualities that simply happens to be gay.
