Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen received an impromptu homage at a Broadway performance this week.
The legendary stars of the new thriller The Good Liar attended a performance of Freestyle Love Supreme. The pair participated in the show and adjourned backstage with the cast. Their fellow performers then broke into a moving rap for the co-stars.
In a surprise twist, a rainbow scarf-wearing McKellen turned toward the camera to spill his 2020 presidential endorsement. Take a look at his T-shirt and you’ll see his pick.
The Good Liar teams McKellen and Mirren with Oscar-winning director Bill Condon in a thriller about love and betrayal. McKellen stars as Roy, an aging con man who romances women for their money. His latest target: Betty, played by Mirren, a wealthy older woman with secrets of her own. Russell Tovey also stars as Betty’s grandson Steven, who suspects Roy’s ulterior motives and tries to sabotage their love affair.
