'YOU SHALL NOT PASS!'. If Sir Ian McKellan had a dollar for every time someone shouted that at him, he'd have made millions from it by now. He doesn't have to worry about that too much, though, as his long and stellar career on our screens has made him a fortune already. The 'Lord of the Rings' and 'X-Men' star is acting royalty, indisputably one of the greatest of his whole generation. On top of that, he comes across as one of the nicest people you could hope to meet away from the camera.
We're not sure if it's a case of McKellan having very strong features to begin with or whether he may have a slightly feminine facial structure, but not a lot has changed here from one picture to the other apart from the hair and makeup. The female McKellan looks like a charming elder lady, radiating kindness and wisdom just as he does as a man.
