He apparently lost his footing in a fight scene, reported the British news agency PA. However, the hospital team believes he will make a quick and full recovery, the theater said. “Ian is in good spirits.”
McKellen played the wizard Gandalf in the “Lord of the Rings” films and has also appeared in the Marvel comic series “X-Men”. His particular passion is the theater and the writer William Shakespeare. In London’s West End, he is currently playing Falstaff in “Player Kings” at the Noel Coward Theater.
The production decided to cancel Tuesday’s performance so that McKellen could rest, PA quoted a statement from the theater. The theater thanked everyone for their well-wishes for McKellen, as well as two medical professionals in the audience and the staff for their support.
