British actor Ian McKellen has been hospitalised after falling off the stage during a performance on the West End in London on Monday. Watch in for more details!

British actor Ian McKellen hospitalised in London after falling off stage

Veteran actor Ian McKellen recently suffered an injury and had to be rushed to a hospital after he fell off the stage during a performance in London. It happened during the performance of Player Kings at the Noël Coward Theatre at the West End in London.&nbsp;

The 85-year-old actor was reportedly in a battle scene when he lost his footing and fell. The audience was asked to leave the theatre and the evening show was cancelled. Ian was taken to the hospital immediately.&nbsp;

A representative for the theatre shared a statement that Ian McKellen will “make a speedy and full recovery” and that the 85-year-old actor is “in good spirits.”

In a statement, they said, “Thank you to our audience and the general public for their well wishes following Ian’s fall during this evening’s performance of ‘Player Kings’. Following a scan, the brilliant NHS team have assured us that he will make a speedy and full recovery and Ian is in good spirits. The production has made the decision to cancel the performance on Tuesday 18 June so Ian can rest. Those affected will be contacted by their point of purchase as soon as possible tomorrow. Thank you to doctors Rachel and Lee who were on hand in the audience and to all the venue staff for their support.”

As for Player Kings, Ian McKellen plays John Falstaff in the project. It is a production of William Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Parts One and Two. The project started its 12-week run at the West End in April.&nbsp;

This is not the first time that Ian McKellen has worked on a Shakespeare&nbsp;project. Prior to this, he has done stage roles in Macbeth, King Lear, Richard II, Coriolanus, Iago and Richard III. He also played Hamlet this year in a film adaptation by director Sean Mathias.

In films, Ian played Gandalf in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as Magneto in the X-Men movies.

British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the 'Lord of the Rings' movies, said he was euphoric after receiving his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and urged everyone who was offered the jab to accept it. 
 
The state-run National Health Service (NHS), which is running Britain`s mass COVID vaccination programme, posted several pictures of McKellen, in a blue T-shirt and a rainbow-striped scarf, giving a thumbs-up as he received the shot. 
 
"It`s a very special day. I feel euphoric," McKellen, 81, was quoted as saying in one NHS post which he retweeted. 
"I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. I feel very lucky to have had the vaccination." 
 
Nearly 140,000 people have received their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in Britain since the rollout began on Dec. 8. People aged over 80 are in the highest priority group. 
 
A star of British stage and screen since the 1960s, McKellen attained a new level of global fame in the 2000s when he appeared as Gandalf in the movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien`s novels and directed by Peter Jackson. He was the latest British celebrity to go public about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, part of a collective effort to reassure members of the public who may be harbouring doubts about the jab`s safety. 
 
The chef and cookery writer Prue Leith, 80, who presents the high-ratings TV show "The Great British Bake Off", also posted a picture of herself receiving the shot. It is not known whether Queen Elizabeth, 94, and her husband Prince Philip, 99, have had the vaccine yet. The Times reported they may "let it be known" once they have. 
 
The queen is highly respected in Britain and her backing would be a powerful message to counter anti-vaccination misinformation.

Veteran English actor who is popular for his role in The Lord of the Rings as Gandalf or as Magneto in X-Men franchise reveals that he thinks about his death “every day”.&nbsp;

As reported in PTI, the 78-year-old star has planned his funeral and memorial service which he wants to be held in a theatre in a "celebratory way". He has even spent a whole evening making a "wish list" for the final service to acknowledge his life journey.&nbsp;

According to an upcoming documentary titled "McKellen: Playing The Part", Ian said he did not want religion involved in his funeral. He said, "And I would like the memorial to take place in a celebratory way - in a theatre. Free admission. And I'd want a lot of beautiful people. And when I finished this I thought, 'Ooh, I'd love to go to that funeral.' So I hope I might arrange a dress rehearsal before I go."

"As I see other people getting decrepit and unable to work, I think, well, that may well happen to me... But in the meantime why deny myself the pleasure of rehearsing a play?" he added
