Sir Ian McKellen Set to Make 'Full Recovery' After Falling Off London Stage
Actor Ian McKellen fell during a fight scene in a London production of 'Player Kings' at the Noel Coward Theatre in London.
Thank goodness. It’s crazy how fatal falls can be for old folks. As a tall clumsy person, I think about this more than I should probably.
As a fellow tall clumsy person, low railings at the perfect height to make me fall over them stress me out too.
It's crazy how fatal falls can be for ANYONE. Seriously. I've seen people fall off a 4 foot ladder and have it be fatal. Or slip on ice. Or just trip on something. I'm also a kinda tall clumsy person so I think about this a lot too. Plus I've taken OSHA classes on fall protection which only made it worse. :)
"While falling, McKellen could be heard to exclaim 'Fly, you fools!'" (I do hope he recovers fully though.)
Shit, he solo'd another Balrog without the party again?
Dudes an XP hog.
Only mildly relevant to the topic but I saw him in this and he was awesome, a really amazing actor. The rest of the cast were good but he was a cut above.
