Sir Ian McKellen, 85, dances with Anthony Hopkins, 86, in matching checkered jackets in adorable video - a week after shocking stage fall accident during his West End show


The actor, 85, suffered a nasty injury when he fell off stage during his West End show and was taken to hospital.

In his statement last Thursday, Sir Ian said: 'After three nights in hospital, the effects of my fall onstage have been fully analysed and I'm now having physiotherapy, light exercise and a lot of essential rest at home. Last Friday, audience member Johanna Dart described the dramatic moment Sir Ian McKellen 'flew head first' into her when he fell off stage, adding: 'Getting crushed by Gandalf the Grey, that's something you don't expect.' The Methodist minister from Downham Market, Norfolk recalled how Sir Ian seemed to trip as he moved downstage to take a more active part in the scene before falling off the stage directly in front of the audience.
