‘Saved My Ribs And Other Joints’: Ian McKellen Remembers His Fatsuit as a Lifesaver During a London Stage Act
As someone who has been involved in several mishaps during my own acting career, I can empathize with Sir Ian McKellen’s recent fall on stage. At 85 years old, it’s impressive that he managed to avoid serious injuries, and I am glad to hear that the fat suit he was wearing at the time helped cushion his fall. It is a testament to both his skill as an actor and his good fortune that he can continue performing despite such incidents. Age should not limit an artist’s ability to express themselves through their craft, and it is inspiring to see Sir McKellen thriving in his profession well into his golden years.
