Ian McKellen - [Jan-2002] - interview

[meadowcloud519]

Sir Ian McKellan should be the voice of everything.

[JeretLedger1985]

Damn 10 years.

[KingCondorIII]

@DisgruntledBrit Yep. And? Come on,this is awesome no matter what your nationality is

[cekinxxx]

where are his fireworks? damn i am dissapointed

[megashani1991]

thumbs up for gandalf such an EPIC voice ....

[WayneJetski69]

What's wrong with the audience you fuckwits?

[crabfight]

Fucking audience.

[johnnomonno]

I swear, this was like changing the tire that would decide the fate of the world.

[jessica23claire]

HE IS JUST PERFECT.

[Edhunter665]

PULL THE STRING!

[DisgruntledBrit]

Are all Americans this easily pleased?

[DavidXNewton]

@DisgruntledBrit I've lived here for five years - the answer's 'yes'.

It does result in absolutely tons of female attention, though.

[davidfgranger]

Ian McKellan makes me wish I was gay. His performance is King Lear the best I've ever seen.

[scaramoucheEm]

Awesome, now I know how to change a tire! Thanks, Sir Ian!

[BlitzCup]

Sir Ian deserves more respect than this!

[elitsithtrooper]

7 people did not fallow Ian's directions when changing there tire.

[alevsener2]

tire changing part was the best :D

[Shadoessa]

Why is it that on every single video people have to flame each other like they are fighting some holy war.... JUST WATCH THE DAMN VIDEO PEOPLE.

[Manchanegra3]

Sir*

[UerMom]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*100

[kaaskaas19]

1:51 he created 'Poker Face' years before Gaga.

[TheKataKalysm]

I'm American and the audiences in our talk shows piss me off too. Either A) they bought tickets so that they could scream their heads off between the guest's every line, thereby wasting their money, or B) they were given free tickets and are just a sample of our disrespectful and dense population in general. It's only gotten worse in the last 10 years...

[ChadRPen]

Ian McKellen is just a straight up bamf

[EarlZMoade]

Stop laughing so fucking much.

[Vannuyswolves21]

Im american and i don't eat twinkies but i do think this audience is full of shit and annoying

[123456789kit1]

I voted-up all the anti american posts.. because Americans never know when to shut up... unless they have a mouth full of twinkie (whatever the fuck a twinkie is..)

[RazsterTW]

@123456789kit1 I do like my Twinkies. Can we come over and nuke your country so I can get more twinkies?

[123456789kit1]

@RazsterTW If you're American, I don't think you ever asked to nuke anywhere in the past.. why start now?.. ;)

[hurricanesQB1]

just so you know the people in the audience are paid actors.this is an awful show with awful ideas.not all talk shows do this(conan,letterman,kimmel)on­ly shows like maury do this now

[FASChrisCaze]

Yeah. How dare they laugh at something that's funny, and applaud to show appreciation. DAMN AMERICANS RUIN EVERYTHING.

[thegreatestg]

@FASChrisCaze you must shut the fuck up, when legends like Ian McKellen speak

[shotgunxsamurai]

you can still hear what he says perfectly. shut up you elitist british pricks

[ciavarella1292]

@shotgunxsamurai Why do you assume he's british... cmon fellow American, theres more to the world than the US and the UK.

[shotgunxsamurai]

@ciavarella1292 i didn't assume, i was responding to Saleri's "OMG STFU U DUMB YANKS" comment, and their channel says they are from the United Kingdom hehe :)

[Harrymitchell999]

This would have been 5 times better if the audience waited and applauded after he had finished the whole speech rather than at the end of every three words ...

[jpagel]

this is why ian mckellen is so awesome

[saleri]

OMG STFU U DUMB YANKS

[mosainagant]

STFU CROWD

[Tralalala00]

*stands up*

*crowd gets hysterical*

WTF???

[Makbeefy]

Even as a resident of the United States, I found the applause during his performance quite annoying and disrespectful.

[TheAwakenedHeretic]

He should do a movie with Patrick Stewart.

[tobacconist]

@TheAwakenedHeretic he has done several, they were called "x-men"

[cheeseUout]

wow i hate craig kilborne

[thenfm]

cure hipster faggotry: MANHOOD101. COM

[15Daniels]

most manliest man ever born

[arethnaar45]

There are not words for how awesome this is. No words. At all.

[UncleCloud]

God, stop this annoying howling and let the man do his thing ffs. Audience like that is no better than hecklers.

[guernican]

@UncleCloud

You, sir, are a buffoon. 

[rorydathomas452]

shut the FUCK up you hooting jerks

[Suckerpunch1490]

YOUU! SHALL NOT!! DISLIKE THIS VIDEO!

[Espresso139]

240p... I... I think i'm falling for you

[azerothgod]

....but what about the bolts?

[Anarkissed23]

[exeunt]

[molike]

man.... tv looked shit in 2002

[cekinxxx]

@molike lol

[hypothetisch]

Audience is bloody annoying.

[jungyman365]

I want this man to read the phone book.

[FatsDomino64]

Omg this looks so old and its only from 2002 -_-;;

[angonbing]

this man is my hero!

[starliteinfernal]

freaking audience can't let me listen to ian...

[dsavix4]

Stupid people won't stop clapping and screaming. Kind of ruined it.

[sssash93]

He's the king!

[TheLyeem]

man why do they have to clap every 5 seconds

[shotgunsam666]

I want his voice on my GPS.

[robertandmoritz]

that was his audition for lord of the rings.

[ctrlaltdelmaster]

fuck i hate american audiences

[Broden124]

@ctrlaltdelmaster oh ma gawd yaw a broom?

[sumweirdkid123]

@ctrlaltdelmaster I'm american and I do too.

[swargolet]

@ctrlaltdelmaster I assume you are talking about the clapping + laughing the whole time. If so, then welcome to American television. Even if there isn't a live audience laughing, shows will put in canned laughter. Then you have shows like American Idol or America's got talent where someone is singing and you can't hear them because the audience is yelling. ARGHH There should be a mute audience button on all remotes.

[dfunkers]

@ctrlaltdelmaster I hate America.

[Panzerfaust04]

@ctrlaltdelmaster I agree entirely. I get it, you like the performance, the guy is funny. You don't have to force him to pause for several seconds after each line so the crowd can say YEAH THIS IS STILL GOOD EVEN THOUGH WE SAID IT WAS GOOD THREE SECONDS AGO WOO.

[Michael326]

@ctrlaltdelmaster Fuck I hate Xenophobia disguised as petty annoyance.

[yourfaceandmum]

@ctrlaltdelmaster they don't know how to shutup while someone's acting......

[venturisb]

4 People couldn't get past.

[SANNAFABICH]

And then he slept with an underage boy.

[danhayabusa]

4 people are douchebags

[ogTJ]

@danhayabusa Are you even trying?

[TimAyro]

brb changing all my tires

[eimABlasi2]

1:55 - just start there. That's where the funny is.

[AnIngeniousParadox]

how does he act so well? 

[PiCusha]

omfg this just got so into my heart and soul lol

[DeathJunkE]

DAMN RIGHT! I'm going to REMOVE THE OLD WHEEL! right the fuck now.

[haren132]

this is pretty much the best thing ever from 1:50

[noraarnette]

LOOSEN! THE LUGNUTS!

He was having *way* too much fun with that. <3

[20SpiderPig10]

LOOSEN THE LUGNUTS

[irish6lover9]

#4 is the bomb lmao

[bluevanities]

Just one more example of why Ian is a BADASS.

[simplecoffee]

"Loosen the lugnuts!" *dies laughing*

[PONR2006]

I don't get the Steven Seagal question. I don't quite catch what he replies and I feel that even if I could understand him I'd still miss the joke. Anyone?

[Elenia25]

@PONR2006 he says "Wolf Lake" and i think it means it's the only movie worth watching in most people's opinion.

[greengrendel]

2:11 who else straightened up in the chair in response to his movement? :D

[thestranger4812]

Ian McKellen would kick Churck Norris' ass.

[freshPrincess626]

lol.. and a standing O to boot!

[MistaGrieves]

I got chills from that.

[GetHotGirls]

Too bad he's gay... I would have looked up to him... still an admirable person.

[Forseliz]

@GetHotGirls why not look up to him even if he is homosexual - doesnt make him a worse person. never would

[sasquatch268]

@Forseliz Ian Mckellen is gay? I call bull shit. Either way, w/e.

[LeTinctoire]

@sasquatch268 He's openly gay. Your call.

[sasquatch268]

@LeTinctoire You're gay. Your call.

[Tortoisetheboywonder]

@GetHotGirls ... Die... Now

[slpaperhearts]

@GetHotGirls Sir Ian McKellan is Magneto AND Gandalf. your argument is so invalid it's pathetic. it's even more pathetic how ignorant fools have to act like someone is less than they obviously are, especially someone so magnificently talented and utterly badass as this man, just because of their sexuality. grow the fuck up. i seriously doubt you're getting any hot girls if you're this dumb so just stop.

[Borridd]

@GetHotGirls Judging by your name, I can see a very confused person.

[ReductioAdAbsurdum]

@GetHotGirls "Too bad he's gay... I would have looked up to him... still an admirable person"

Who cares what a shameless bigot finds admirable?

[Introbulus]

...That was amazing. Ian McKellen has my eternal respect now. 

[happybkwrm]

LOL. "You're just that good." 

[rosemystic22]

ian mckellen is one of the worlds greatest actors. the man could read ingedients for meatloaf and it would get an oscar.

[ProRanting]

Ian McKellen, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson, and Malcolm Mcdowell. Old Actors are the shit.

[Charmolution]

I want to loosen his lug nuts.

[mrovan]

"Find a level spot, Charles!"

[YoungPhoenix3191]

Ian Mckellen is an Hell of an Actor! hes AWESOME!

[rhcp4565]

OMG that was the most awesome thing EVER!!!!!

Ian is the Man!!!!!!!

[Soundnous]

LMAO all he has to do is lean forward and everybody starts cheering.

[Terqua23]

amazing actor, amazing person..love him <3

[august360]

Oh shit, I'm in tears lol

[zionravescene]

I just felt my lugnuts loosen.

[lovecatcadillac]

What is with all the people saying, "He's totally awesome! But... gay? At the same time? How can that be? I'm so confused!"? Shouldn't this video be conclusive proof that it is entirely possible to be a flaming queer and completely awesome at the same time?

I absolutely love this video. "LOOSEN THE LUGNUTS!"

[pupil8]

@lovecatcadillac now u know why we gays think we're so fabulous ;) but being gay is the easy part.

[SwingJugend]

If only Ian McKellen had a pimp staff he would've kicked even Gandalf's ass!

[vangelissopamena]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

I LOVE HIM!

GAYS RULE THE EARTH!!! :D

[TinyArts]

Now that is impressive, 5 out of 5 without answering all the questions, i thought Chuck Norris was the only one that could do somethng like that.

[emorypaine]

Ian McKellen can get a 5 out of 5.

with 4 questions.

[Nicolletta13]

Remooooooooove the old wheel!

*dies*

[bandgeek8986]

And, scene.

[QueenBeatlesWings]

He's a real amazing acor- he deserves his knighthood alright

[gamotausernames]

Simply amazing!

[Menamebephil]

And now I have a boner.

[mos277]

my idle, right there

[romevi]

@mos277 "idol"?

[pascoett]

Great acting and so funny too!!! Interesting how he manages instantly to put the simple verbs from the manual into the corresponding tone of voice and into the appropriate gesture.

[lynxord]

omg wow... he's hillarious and he barely tries... he looks like he's like completely bored but it's hard to read him.

[pinkmeercatpink]

This is so funny! I love Ian Mckellen he is one of the many people i look up to.

[martythetickler]

This man is the greatest actor alive.

[Gellis2009]

lmao what a nutta

[cyberlord64]

burn this on a cd or a tape and keep it in your car. with this kind of narration you will be changing your tires in seconds !!!!!!!

[6Qubed]

In style, no less.

[yarealpoof]

AMAZING!!

[BarnabasFrid]

Now THAT is a MAN!

[Neogothic]

LOOSEN THE LUGKNUTS!!

[moviebuff006]

[Bloodanna]

Ok, if all car instructions were told to me like that I'd remember them a whole lot easier. That was brilliant.

[TheMystickal]

[fallingstarish]

@TheMystickal SO

[violetcloud]

[mattyrayuk]

omg, ian mckellen is awesome and the best actor ever, its asking to much but we need more actors like him, ps i live about 5 minutes from his house and he is such a kind guy

[m2frogger]

Gandalf knows how to fix a tire!!

[DarkTheories]

And WOW what he can even make tire change instructions sound awesome! xD Wow He's now my new idol, i wish he was my grandpa. lmao.

[karozlee]

Really? u wouldn't even be born

[cyberlord64]

LOOOOOOOOL

[DarkTheories]

Ha, love McKellen. He rocked as Gandalf.

[TwistingWays]

And MacBeth :P

and like Everything. XD

[6Qubed]

He could fight crime with those instructions...

[Aoife379]

Hahaha epic.,.

[patzeram]

If it's possible to get an Oscar for a talk show appearance, Ian McKellen should have gotten one for this.

[tensachan]

EPIC!

[2write2sing2dance]

LMAO I love how he puts his specs on and leans forward to give 'theatrical' instructions LMAO He rocks.

[gabel1337]

Hammy acting at it's finest!

[ambivalencex]

oh,migawsh

haha

:]

[WayneInSF]

From 1:55 onward is freekin' hilarious!!

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

Damn right, screw the 05th Question!

[XxXWAKEXxX]

Damn, this guy is a....KING!!!!.

[tomsega]

The American use of the word 'city' probably put him off on the first one. A small stretch of land isn't a city.

[irishgotee]

i hope that someday ian mckellen and michael caine do a movie.

[ursucarnivor]

Superb actor!!!

[macaronicheezplez]

that first question wasnt very fair! how many people from burnley know that?

[videogirl94emILY]

i got his autograph 3 days ago

[jamanticus]

Ian McKellen is one of the best actors I've ever seen.

That Shakespearian reading of the tire change......Wow.....!

[ThrobnWood]

Nice one.

[blackmille92]

[ruffisrocker]
