The 85-year-old British veteran Ian McKellen played the wizard "Gandalf" in the movie "The Lord of the Rings" On the 17th, he fell off the stage during a performance and received first aid. A theater spokesman revealed that day that McKellen was in good condition and expected to recover.
According to the Associated Press, McKellen performed at the Noel Coward Theater in London, the British capital, on the 17th. He stepped on the air and fell off the stage while performing a fight scene, and the audience screamed. Cast members and two medical workers in the audience came to help, and McKellen was quickly taken to the hospital. The performance was interrupted, the audience left early, and the next day's performance was also canceled.
Audience member Paul Critchley told reporters that he was shocked when he saw McKellen "fall off the stage right in front of the audience" during the performance.
A spokesman for the Noel Coward Theater said later on the 17th that McKellen was in "good mental condition" and that examination showed that his injuries were not serious and he was expected to recover.
McKellen is well-known in the British theater world. He is an outstanding Shakespearean actor and has vividly performed Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Richard II and other roles. However, it was his roles as the wizard Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings film series and Magneto in the science fiction series X-Men that brought him global fame.
