In an interview with Variety, the 84-year-old actor revealed that he did not have enough reasons to retire
Known for his performances in X-Men (2000), Lord of the Rings (2001) and The Big Lie (2019), Ian McKellen has no plans to retire. In an interview with Varietythe 84-year-old actor revealed that he feels he is in the best moment of his career, and does not have enough reasons to retire.
I have never been unemployed, but I am aware that at any minute something could happen to me that could prevent me from working again. But as long as the knees hold and the memory remains intact, why shouldn’t it continue? I really feel like I’m pretty good at this acting thing now.”
AND McKellen seems to be busier than ever. He recently voiced a character for a new TV show. Seth MacFarlaneis in the comedy play Frank and Percy and there’s a new police drama, The Criticready to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
However, the issue of retirement has come up more frequently. Still in the interview, the actor clarified the harsh criticism during the previews of Frank and Percy after forgetting a line because he was “insufficiently familiar with the text”.
Rather than understanding that this happens from time to time, this reviewer says that ‘it was proof that it was time to Ian McKellen stop acting’. Maybe I should challenge this man to a podcast where we could debate the topic. [risos]. But this may draw more attention. After all, I made peace with the critics a long time ago
