It&#8217;s only when I hear the voice \u2013 resonant, commanding, with a trace of a Lancashire accent \u2013 that I realise that this grey-haired creature, unprepossessing, at least from behind, is Lear and Gandalf and Vanya and Magneto. Is, in other words, Sir Ian McKellen. And when he turns round, he&#8217;s not unprepossessing at all. His face is lined, but amazingly handsome. His body, in super-hip jeans, turquoise T-shirt and chic little jacket, is athletic and lithe. Mature but modern is the overall impression. Gravitas with a funky twist. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/films\/features\/sir-ian-mckellen-the-bard-and-me-1203250.html\">Sir Ian McKellen: The Bard and me<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From independent.co.uk: At first, I don&#8217;t notice the figure hunched over the computer in the corner.
