I think for most people it comes to complacency as they get older. Our great elders like Sir Christopher Lee, Sir Ian McKellen, William Chatner, and Clint Eastwood all still have/had very active roles in their life well into their golden years. They are/were always after the next project or task. On the opposite end of the spectrum when most people who retire they’ll start to play a more passive role in their very own life which leads to degradation of the brain. Use it or lose it.

“Sir, I’m afraid the filming schedule for the Hobbit will have to be delayed.” “You’d better have a bloody good reason for this delay. It’s the third time this month!” “Sir Christopher Lee has been indulging us with stories from his life.” “Understandable. Carry on as long as you need.”

For Ian McKellen it was revisiting the shorter part of Gandalf the Grey, which he preferred, but for Christopher Lee it was creating something we hadn't seen: Saruman before he became bad, the person Gandalf was so happy to see.

This makes me so happy. I know there was some tension between Peter and Christopher when his scene was cut out from The Return of The King. It's good to see them become friends again before Christopher's passing.

I was employed as one of the Elves, in the Hobbit back in 2011 when travelling with a friend in a camper through New Zealand. It was a fantastic, fantastic experience and I will never forget it. For just a few scenes in the trilogy, I personally had to go on set for over 6 months, so you get an idea of just how much work goes into it all! I remember, particularly, meeting the gentleman in the glasses (who starts talking at 1:03) when in the canteen one day. We only spoke a few sentences, but he had an amazing calmness around him and was so humble considering his role as principal cameraman in both LOTR and The Hobbit. He sadly passed away a couple of years later, I believe

The thing that sucks is he wasn't able to see the new star wars movies. Wish he would've seen those before he died

That man is one of the people who I can truly say actually LIVED life. What a human being. I always wanted to meet him, but closest I ever got was an e-mail from him. Incredibly well-spoken and dignified even in texting. Enjoy your rest, friend. Know that you live on in our minds, our hearts and our spirits for all eternity. It's never "goodbye", it's "we'll see you later" :)

4:48 that actually melted my heart

Christopher Lee was around 88 years old when they filmed The Hobbit btw

"He is Sir Christopher Lee, so your kneeling is aproriate, thank you."

The day my friend and his grandmother took me to see the third Hobbit movie, she said gravely, "That's his last film," and she launched into a lengthy anecdote of Sir Christopher's film legacy from Dracula to Dooku. I said, "Wow, if he died tomorrow, he'd still have immortal praise." He died a little while after that and one of my greatest regrets is that I never got a chance to sit and listen to his stories. R.I.P. Sir Christopher Lee

Watching Christopher Lee is a joy, even in his old age he still had wit and humour

I fucking love this guy, and I want to feel sad about him dying, but he lived 93 years so it makes me happy instead. The guy lived such a long life. I can't possibly be sad about it. What a legend.

I would have given literally my life savings to have had a thirty minute lunch with Christopher Lee. He seemed like a nice guy to be around, he could Read an airplane instruction manual in that voice and somehow he would have my full attention. The man was an absolute badass. He met Tolkien, and served in WWII and corrected Jackson on the way a man sounded when he gets stabbed.

It would start off as a 30 minute lunch then extend to at least 1:30

I'm so glad that after the fight they had with the cinema cut of Return of the King, they worked together again.

Such a humble yet he radiates of wisdom, respect and authority at the same time. He must've been one hell of a person.

R.I.P. You amazing person.

Why Can't that be a movie? "Christopher Lee tells some awesome stories". Make it about an hour and thirty minutes long, add some archive footage, pictures, and animations to illustrate the details. I would pay to see that.

Lee was 90 years old When he filmed Hobbits, Such a legend. He also got blessings from Tolkein himself to play Gandalf but for his age he couldn't he was almost 80 during LOTR but anyway Saruman's role was also phenomnal.

It's funny how Christipher Lee played characters that were villains that were once good. Count Dooku who was once a Jedi and Saruman once a middle-earth White Wizard to a follower of Sauron. He played protagonists and antagonists so impressively. I miss the Legend. Played two of my favourite villains

I really wanted to hear Christopher's story about the war. I love meeting people who have done so much in life. You can learn so much and draw so much inspiration. Lee did it all! What a guy!

A consummated and regal actor. So good that he wasn't stereotyped as Dracula for life. Rest in Peace, Sir. God bless you.

connorisnotbright Damn, how could I miss the reference, and I know that scene well, I was caught in the serious talk.

Such a powerhouse performer and we will never again see or hear anything new from him because he’s gone now. To have met him in person would have been the thrill of a lifetime. Pain is temporary but film is forever. My youngest son has now really invested in watching them with me for the first time.

Sir Christopher Lee is truly and amazing actor! He looks so fragile in that scene. You could tell he didn’t have long left. I have go admire the fact that money doesn’t even matter to this guy at this moment in time. He just came to do what he loves “acting” what a legacy he left behind! Rip Sir Christopher Lee❤️

Alongside Peter Cushing, Sir Christopher is one of my most beloved actors. A classic gentleman, a silver screen legend, and a master of his craft. I would have loved to have been able to spend an evening with him, talking over dinner, and just enjoying the stories he’d tell. RIP Sir Christopher.

I can't believe he's gone forever...

pikppa He was the tallest actor to be in a leading role (tied with Vince Vaughn). I mean there have been much taller people like Andre the Giant who has appeared in films but they only had small parts and were cast mostly for their size rather than acting abilities.

Besides of the awesomess fo his acting...He is the true fan, He read the books a long... long time ago, he loved the LOTR universe and I think he even meet J.R.R Tolkien... and then years an years after he conquer the everest of any fan... HE IS IN THE FILMS of his loved ephic and fantastic universe of Middle Earth... I LOVE HIM!! I scream in the movies in his scene of th Battle of the five armies

Damn, that last shot hurts, but it also shows what this man was capable of.

People like Christopher Lee are like a priceless treasure you cannot buy. Him talking about the past are stories you are never going to hear again. Rip, Sir.

The way he still remembers the he can't get up the bloody steps -part makes me almost teary. idk just shows how movies arent just gigs they're amazing life experiences and he clearly treasured working in LOTR and still happy to be Saruman, I'm suddenly just feeling a massive sense of loss

It breaks my heart when I hear stories where they just can’t make the trip to wherever the destination is. It’s just another reminder of our mortality and the hourglass has been set. It happened to my father. He wanted to go on a vacation one last time, but his energy was gone.
