McKellen's So Famous, Mere Syllable Warrants Headline!
Related: Elton John Farted

No doubt Sir Ian McKellen's a super star. Long a queer icon, his roles in The Lord of The Rings and X-Men trilogies have granted him even more mainstream success.

The combined effect has given him such celebrity status that his mere breath requires a bit of virtual ink, as seen by this PageOneQ headline (see above).

But, seriously, it's a link to this article on McKellen's role as King Lear. We won't give away all the details, but we will offer his puzzlement over Hollywood's preference for closeted stars, particularly when so close to gayer-than-gay West Hollywood:

Can people whose minds work like that make good films? And if at the heart of Hollywood there is that lie, how many other lies are there?
Um, twelve?

Martini-boy says:

Why did he have to make that statement to obscure?

And easier way of putting it would be:
"There are a lot of closeted faglings in Hollywood. Do you think they'd make good movies if they were concerned about not revealing themselves?"

He kind of beats around the bush with that one...
Tsk tsk.
