• TOP 51 BT GAY ACTORS IN HOLLYWOOD OF ALL TIME
• SIR IAN MCKELLEN HAS SAD NEWS FOR HOBB FANS: “THERE’S NO SEX MIDDLE EARTH!”BY ERIC SPZNAGELJANUARY 13, 2011SAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVEIF YOU’RE THE KD OF PERSON WHO GETS OBSSIVE ABOUT ALL THGS TOLKIENIAN, ’S BEEN A PRETTY BIG WEEK. SIR IAN MCKELLEN MA OFFICIAL TUDAY, ANNOUNCG ON HIS WEB SE THAT HE’LL PLAYG GANDALF THE UPG TWO-PART MOVIE ADAPTATN OF THE HOBB, WHICH BEGS FILMG NEW ZEALAND NEXT MONTH. ALONG WH RECENT REPORTS THAT ELIJAH WOOD, ORLANDO BLOOM, CATE BLANCHETT,ANDTHE GUY WHO PLAYS GOLLUM ARE ALSO HOBB-READY, WOULD SEEM THAT THE BAND, AS THEY SAY, IS REALLY GETTG BACK TOGETHER. BUT FOR ANYBODY WHO’S FOLLOWED THE INTER HAND-WRGG ABOUT THE ON-AGA-OFF-AGA PRODUCTN, N FEEL PRUMPTUO TO ASSUME ANYTHG UNTIL WE ACTUALLY SEE THE OPENG CREDS ROLL. FOR MOST OF 2010, MCKELLEN KEPT GUSG ABOUT HIS VOLVEMENT THE LORD OF THE RGS PREQUEL THE WAY SOME ACTORS KEEP GUSG ABOUT THEIR SEXUALY. AS LEAST WH MCKELLEN, THERE’S NEVER BEEN ANY MYSTERY ABOUT THE LATTER. THIS IS A MAN WHO FAMOLY WENT ON A TALK SHOW SGAPORE, A UNTRY WH STRICT LAWS AGAST HOMOSEXUALY, AND ASKED THE HOST, “CAN YOU REMEND ANY CENT GAY BARS?” BUT WHEN TO HIS FUTURE AS MIDDLE EARTH’S FAVORE WIZARD, HE’S BEEN DOWNRIGHT GEY.LAST SEPTEMBER, MCKELLEN ED A MOR STIR WHEN PHOTOS OF HIM AT A LONDON RALLY SHOWED THE ACTOR WEARG A T-SHIRT THAT READ “I’M GANDALF AND MAGO. GET OVER !” SOMEBODY EVENTUALLY FIGURED OUT THAT THE PICTURE HAD BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED, AND MCKELLEN WAS ACTUALLY WEARG A SHIRT THAT READ, “SOME PEOPLE ARE GAY. GET OVER !” THE FAKE T-SHIRT WAS VAGUELY FUNNY, ASSUMG MA ANY SENSE. (TO BE HONT, I STILL DON’T UNRSTAND. WAS THE JOKE THAT MCKELLEN HAS PLAYED MULTIPLE MOVIE ROL AND THAT N BE NFG? OR THAT HE’S PLAYED TWO SEEMGLY NON-GAY WIZARDS WHILE HE IS, FACT, GAY?) BUT WOULD’VE BEEN SO MUCH MORE POIGNANT HAD SOMEBODY THOUGHT TO PHOTOSHOP HIS SHIRT WH THE MSAGE “I MAY OR MAY NOT BE GANDALF AGA. GET OVER !” WH ALL DUE RPECT TO THE GAY MUNY, THEY DON’T HAVE TO NTEND WH NEARLY THE SAME ANXIETY AND HELPLSNS AS A LORD OF THE RGS BLOGGER.I MET WH MCKELLEN AT THE SAVANNAH FILM FTIVAL, WHERE HE WAS GIVEN A LIFETIME-ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. DURG HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, HE TALKED ABOUT HOW THE GEIA ERNOR NEARLY REPLACED MART LUTHER KG DAY WH “IAN MCKELLEN DAY,” AND HOW HE BEME THE FIRST OPENLY GAY MAN TO LEGALLY SERVE THE AMERIN ARY (LONG STORY). PRR TO THE CEREMONY, I WAS VED TO SPEAK WH HIM AT THE LOL LLEGE’S LIBRARY. MCKELLEN TEASED ME ABOUT WEARG SHORTS (PLIMENTG MY BOYISH LV, THANK YOU VERY MUCH) AND PROVED THAT HE HAS A HEALTHY SENSE OF HUMOR ABOUT HIMSELF. EXCEPT, OF URSE, WHEN TO PHOTOSHOPPED T-SHIRTS THAT MAKE FUN OF WIZARDS AND HOMOPHOBIA.ERIC SPZNAGEL: I’M NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD LL YOU. IS SIR IAN OR JT IAN?IAN MCKELLEN: JT IAN, PLEASE.SO THE BLOOM IS OFF THE ROSE WH THE WHOLE KNIGHTHOOD THG?WELL, I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT. THERE ARE SOME TREMENDO ACTORS THE U.K. WHO HAVE BEEN KNIGHTED, AND I’VE SPENT MUCH OF MY LIFE ADMIRG MANY OF THEM, LIKE LRENCE OLIVIER. SO ’S VERY FLATTERG TO BE THEIR PANY. BUT YOU ALSO END UP THE PANY OF PEOPLE YOU DON’T ADMIRE, CLUDG SOME RATHER DODGY POLICIANS. I TEND TO DISURAGE PEOPLE OM LLG ME “SIR IAN,” BEE I DON’T LIKE BEG SEPARATED OUT OM THE RT OF THE POPULATN. OF URSE, N BE EFUL IF YOU’RE WRG AN OFFICIAL LETTER, LIKE TRYG TO GET A VISA OR SOMETHG PASSED THROUGH PARLIAMENT. THEY’RE IMPRSED BY THE THGS.I WAS UNR THE IMPRSN THAT BRISH THEATER ACTORS, AT LEAST THE GOOD ON, ARE ALL DNKS. AND YET TALKG TO YOU NOW, YOU SEEM PLETELY SOBER. ARE YOU THE EXCEPTN THAT MAK THE LE, OR IS JT TOO EARLY THE DAY?(WH AN EXPRSN OF EXAGGERATED UMBRAGE.) WELL, THERE ARE MANY FAMO DNK ACTORS, THE MOST FAMO OF WHICH IS PROBABLY W.C. FIELDS. SO I’LL THANK YOU NOT TO BE SO ABOUT THE BRS.TOUCHé.THERE ARE ACTORS WHO FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE A LTLE DRK BEFORE THEY GO ONSTAGE, AND THEY PROBABLY ACT WORSE AS A RULT OF .EVEN PETER O’TOOLE? OR RICHARD BURTON?I DON’T KNOW ANYBODY WHO DO THAT. IF DRKG WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR SOMEONE TO BE AN ACTOR, AND THEY ULDN’T FUNCTN ON STAGE WHOUT A DRK, THEN I WOULD THK THEY SHOULD PERHAPS CHANGE THEIR JOBS. I DON’T SEE HOW YOU ULD BE NTROL IF YOU’RE EBRIATED, DO YOU?I GUS NOT. BUT I’VE HEARD SUCH AMAZG STORI. OLIVER REED THROWG UP ON STEVE MCQUEEN, AND ROBERT NEWTON STUMBLG ON STAGE AND SAYG “IF YOU THK I’M PISSED, WA TILL YOU SEE THE DE OF YORK.”PERHAPS YOU SHOULD ASK ANTHONY HOPKS ABOUT THIS. I THK HE WOULD HAVE A VERY STRONG NEGATIVE VIEW ON DNK ACTORS.OBVLY YOU’RE NOT A BIG DRKER. DO YOU HAVE ANY VIC?[LGHS.] NONE THAT I’M GOG TO SHARE WH VANY FAIR.WELL, ARE YOU SUPERST? CAN YOU SAY THE M WORD? THE STTISH PLAY THAT DARE NOT SPEAK S NAME.MACBETH? ABSOLUTELY. ALL THE TIME. MACBETH WAS A VERY LUCKY PLAY FOR ME.YOU’RE POSIVE YOU HAVEN’T JT ED THIS TERVIEW BY MENTNG ?THAT’S NONSENSE. DO YOU KNOW THE ORIG OF THAT MYTH?I VAGUELY RELL SOMETHG ABOUT ACTORS DYG OR GETTG HURT EVERY TIME THE PLAY WAS PRODUCED. ISN’T LIKE THE SPIR-MAN OF ELIZABETHAN THEATER?Y, WELL, THAT’S THE STORY ANYWAY. THE MOST LIKELY EXPLANATN IS THE MOST PRACTIL. MACBETH IS A VERY POPULAR PLAY WH DIENC. IF YOU WANT TO SELL OUT A THEATER, JT MOUNT A PRODUCTN OF MACBETH. IT’S A SHORT PLAY, ’S AN EXCG PLAY, ’S EASY TO UNRSTAND, AND ATTRACTS GREAT ACTG. SO THE OLD DAYS, IF YOU WERE A TOURG PANY AND YOU FOUND OUT THAT YOU WERE DOG MACBETH, MEANT THERE WAS TROUBLE. THERE PROBABLY WASN’T ENOUGH MONEY THE KTY TO PAY THE ACTORS. SO EVEN MENTNG MACBETH WAS NSIRED BAD LUCK.ARE YOU SUPERST ABOUT ANYTHG?I DON’T THK I AM, NO. AS A KID, I WAS A B UT ABOUT NOT STEPPG ON CRACKS A SIWALK. BUT I THK THAT WAS MORE OF A CHALLENGE THAN A SUPERSTN. I HAVE LTLE ROUT THE THEATER. ONCE I’VE TABLISHED SOMETHG, LIKE THE ORR OF PUTTG ON MAKP AND A STUME, I HAVE TO VARIABLY DO THE SAME ORR EVERY TIME, EVEN IF I ONLY DID BY CHANCE THE FIRST TIME ROUND. THAT IS A SUPERSTN OF SORTS, BUT ’S A PRACTIL ONE, BEE MEANS AS YOU GO THROUGH THE SAME ROUTE EACH DAY AND DON’T MISS ANYTHG. IF YOU SUDNLY CI TO CHANGE YOUR SHO AND PANTS BEFORE PUTTG ON YOUR MAKP RATHER THAN AFTER, FOR EXAMPLE, THEN YOU MAY FET TO PUT ON YOUR UNRPANTS.

AND YET PEOPLE PROBABLY AREN’T NNG UP TO YOU ON THE STREET AND SAYG, “HOLY SH, ’S UNCLE VANYA!”YOU’D BE SURPRISED. THEY DO SAY THAT. BUT Y, I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN. AND ’S PERFECTLY OBV WHY THAT IS. IF YOU’VE BEEN A FILM THAT’S SEEN BY LNS AND LNS AND LNS OF PEOPLE, YOU’RE MORE LIKELY TO BE REGNIZED FOR THAT THAN FOR YOUR THEATER PERFORMANC, WHICH WERE SEEN BY NSIRABLY LS PEOPLE. WHY WOULD I GET UPSET BY THAT?I DON’T KNOW. WHY WOULD RSELL CROWE THROW A PHONE AT A HOTEL CLERK? WHY WOULD CHRISTIAN BALE HAVE A MELTDOWN ON A MOVIE SET? WHY WOULD MEL GIBSON LL A TRAFFIC P “SUGAR TS”? ACTORS HAVE A REPUTATN FOR BEG TOUCHY.Y, O.K., I SEE. BUT WOULD BE SILLY FOR ME TO TAKE THAT PERSONALLY. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO’VE ENJOYED MY WORK THE THEATER AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT WAS SPECIAL FOR THEM. I’M NOT GOG TO SAY, “WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME AS GANDALF!” IT DON’T WORRY ME AT ALL. IT’S NOT THE SAME THG AS BEG SO INTIFIED WH A PART THAT YOU ULDN’T GO ON TO DO ANYTHG ELSE. I’M NOT THAT POSN, THANKFULLY.

SIR IAN MCKELLEN HAS SAD NEWS FOR HOBB FANS: “THERE’S NO SEX MIDDLE EARTH!”BY ERIC SPZNAGELJANUARY 13, 2011SAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVEIF YOU’RE THE KD OF PERSON WHO GETS OBSSIVE ABOUT ALL THGS TOLKIENIAN, ’S BEEN A PRETTY BIG WEEK. SIR IAN MCKELLEN MA OFFICIAL TUDAY, ANNOUNCG ON HIS WEB SE THAT HE’LL PLAYG GANDALF THE UPG TWO-PART MOVIE ADAPTATN OF THE HOBB, WHICH BEGS FILMG NEW ZEALAND NEXT MONTH. ALONG WH RECENT REPORTS THAT ELIJAH WOOD, ORLANDO BLOOM, CATE BLANCHETT,ANDTHE GUY WHO PLAYS GOLLUM ARE ALSO HOBB-READY, WOULD SEEM THAT THE BAND, AS THEY SAY, IS REALLY GETTG BACK TOGETHER. BUT FOR ANYBODY WHO’S FOLLOWED THE INTER HAND-WRGG ABOUT THE ON-AGA-OFF-AGA PRODUCTN, N FEEL PRUMPTUO TO ASSUME ANYTHG UNTIL WE ACTUALLY SEE THE OPENG CREDS ROLL. FOR MOST OF 2010, MCKELLEN KEPT GUSG ABOUT HIS VOLVEMENT THE LORD OF THE RGS PREQUEL THE WAY SOME ACTORS KEEP GUSG ABOUT THEIR SEXUALY. AS LEAST WH MCKELLEN, THERE’S NEVER BEEN ANY MYSTERY ABOUT THE LATTER. THIS IS A MAN WHO FAMOLY WENT ON A TALK SHOW SGAPORE, A UNTRY WH STRICT LAWS AGAST HOMOSEXUALY, AND ASKED THE HOST, “CAN YOU REMEND ANY CENT GAY BARS?” BUT WHEN TO HIS FUTURE AS MIDDLE EARTH’S FAVORE WIZARD, HE’S BEEN DOWNRIGHT GEY.LAST SEPTEMBER, MCKELLEN ED A MOR STIR WHEN PHOTOS OF HIM AT A LONDON RALLY SHOWED THE ACTOR WEARG A T-SHIRT THAT READ “I’M GANDALF AND MAGO. GET OVER !” SOMEBODY EVENTUALLY FIGURED OUT THAT THE PICTURE HAD BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED, AND MCKELLEN WAS ACTUALLY WEARG A SHIRT THAT READ, “SOME PEOPLE ARE GAY. GET OVER !” THE FAKE T-SHIRT WAS VAGUELY FUNNY, ASSUMG MA ANY SENSE. (TO BE HONT, I STILL DON’T UNRSTAND. WAS THE JOKE THAT MCKELLEN HAS PLAYED MULTIPLE MOVIE ROL AND THAT N BE NFG? OR THAT HE’S PLAYED TWO SEEMGLY NON-GAY WIZARDS WHILE HE IS, FACT, GAY?) BUT WOULD’VE BEEN SO MUCH MORE POIGNANT HAD SOMEBODY THOUGHT TO PHOTOSHOP HIS SHIRT WH THE MSAGE “I MAY OR MAY NOT BE GANDALF AGA. GET OVER !” WH ALL DUE RPECT TO THE GAY MUNY, THEY DON’T HAVE TO NTEND WH NEARLY THE SAME ANXIETY AND HELPLSNS AS A LORD OF THE RGS BLOGGER.I MET WH MCKELLEN AT THE SAVANNAH FILM FTIVAL, WHERE HE WAS GIVEN A LIFETIME-ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. DURG HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, HE TALKED ABOUT HOW THE GEIA ERNOR NEARLY REPLACED MART LUTHER KG DAY WH “IAN MCKELLEN DAY,” AND HOW HE BEME THE FIRST OPENLY GAY MAN TO LEGALLY SERVE THE AMERIN ARY (LONG STORY). PRR TO THE CEREMONY, I WAS VED TO SPEAK WH HIM AT THE LOL LLEGE’S LIBRARY. MCKELLEN TEASED ME ABOUT WEARG SHORTS (PLIMENTG MY BOYISH LV, THANK YOU VERY MUCH) AND PROVED THAT HE HAS A HEALTHY SENSE OF HUMOR ABOUT HIMSELF. EXCEPT, OF URSE, WHEN TO PHOTOSHOPPED T-SHIRTS THAT MAKE FUN OF WIZARDS AND HOMOPHOBIA.ERIC SPZNAGEL: I’M NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD LL YOU. IS SIR IAN OR JT IAN?IAN MCKELLEN: JT IAN, PLEASE.SO THE BLOOM IS OFF THE ROSE WH THE WHOLE KNIGHTHOOD THG?WELL, I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT. THERE ARE SOME TREMENDO ACTORS THE U.K. WHO HAVE BEEN KNIGHTED, AND I’VE SPENT MUCH OF MY LIFE ADMIRG MANY OF THEM, LIKE LRENCE OLIVIER. SO ’S VERY FLATTERG TO BE THEIR PANY. BUT YOU ALSO END UP THE PANY OF PEOPLE YOU DON’T ADMIRE, CLUDG SOME RATHER DODGY POLICIANS. I TEND TO DISURAGE PEOPLE OM LLG ME “SIR IAN,” BEE I DON’T LIKE BEG SEPARATED OUT OM THE RT OF THE POPULATN.

THEY’RE IMPRSED BY THE THGS.I WAS UNR THE IMPRSN THAT BRISH THEATER ACTORS, AT LEAST THE GOOD ON, ARE ALL DNKS. AND YET TALKG TO YOU NOW, YOU SEEM PLETELY SOBER. ARE YOU THE EXCEPTN THAT MAK THE LE, OR IS JT TOO EARLY THE DAY?(WH AN EXPRSN OF EXAGGERATED UMBRAGE.) WELL, THERE ARE MANY FAMO DNK ACTORS, THE MOST FAMO OF WHICH IS PROBABLY W.C. FIELDS. SO I’LL THANK YOU NOT TO BE SO ABOUT THE BRS.TOUCHé.THERE ARE ACTORS WHO FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE A LTLE DRK BEFORE THEY GO ONSTAGE, AND THEY PROBABLY ACT WORSE AS A RULT OF .EVEN PETER O’TOOLE? OR RICHARD BURTON?I DON’T KNOW ANYBODY WHO DO THAT. IF DRKG WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR SOMEONE TO BE AN ACTOR, AND THEY ULDN’T FUNCTN ON STAGE WHOUT A DRK, THEN I WOULD THK THEY SHOULD PERHAPS CHANGE THEIR JOBS. I DON’T SEE HOW YOU ULD BE NTROL IF YOU’RE EBRIATED, DO YOU?I GUS NOT. BUT I’VE HEARD SUCH AMAZG STORI. OLIVER REED THROWG UP ON STEVE MCQUEEN, AND ROBERT NEWTON STUMBLG ON STAGE AND SAYG “IF YOU THK I’M PISSED, WA TILL YOU SEE THE DE OF YORK.”PERHAPS YOU SHOULD ASK ANTHONY HOPKS ABOUT THIS. I THK HE WOULD HAVE A VERY STRONG NEGATIVE VIEW ON DNK ACTORS.OBVLY YOU’RE NOT A BIG DRKER. DO YOU HAVE ANY VIC?[LGHS.] NONE THAT I’M GOG TO SHARE WH VANY FAIR.WELL, ARE YOU SUPERST?
