Meena, chatroom regular, sent these letters from Ian McKellen. They were sent to a friend of hers. Those who have doubts that those are actual responses from Ian, have no fear, that’s really him.

2nd:
a brief boring reply to yr questions. i don’t seem to have a favorite movie– too many anyway. No i haven’t missed playing a part i really wanted and i have never had ambitions about particular parts being more concerned with other things like the director, the rest of the cast, the schedule, etc.
best wishes
ian mckellen
Great to hear he’s got a rapport with the fans! Keep sending me things like this, good to hear
