Ian McKellen deler sin vilde oplevelse om en sceneulykke og hvordan en fedtsuit reddede dagen!
Ian McKellen, den berømte skuespiller kendt for sin rolle som Gandalf i Ringenes Herre, har delt en dramatisk fortælling om en uventet sceneulykke, som opstod under hans optræden i teaterstykket "Player Kings" i London. Under en intens kampescene fandt Ian sig selv i luften, da han faldt af scenen, hvilket fik publikum til at gisne. Men takket være en fedtsuit, han bar for sin karakter Sir John Falstaff, slap han tilsyneladende lettere end ventet og undgik mere alvorlige kvæstelser.
I et ærligt øjeblik åbnede Ian op om den efterfølgende smerte, han har oplevet, og sagde, at han stadig føler 'agoniserende smerte' to måneder efter faldet. Hans erfaring har været en påmindelse om, at selv de mest erfarne skuespillere ikke er immune over for uheld. Ian har endda indrømmet, at han konstant må fortælle sig selv: "Jeg er ikke for gammel til at spille!" Efter at have overværet sit fald fra scenen, er det en bemærkelsesværdig mental udfordring, han kæmper med, men Ians humor og beslutsomhed skinner igennem.
I mellemtiden har McKellen sikret sine fans, at han er i bedring, selvom det kan tage tid at komme sig helt. Det blev observeret af tilskuere, at han efter faldet, med sine 85 år på bagen, har en bemærkelsesværdig evne til at fortsætte med at underholde og inspirere. Skuespilleren krediterer sin fedtsuit for at have reddet ikke kun sine ribben, men også sine led, hvilket er et godt eksempel på, at kreativitet og sikkerhed kan arbejde hånd i hånd i teaterets verden.
Men det er ikke kun Ian McKellen, der har været udsat for scenens usikkerhed. Mange kendte skuespillere har haft deres andel af skader og uheld på scenen, hvilket ofte fører til humoristiske - men dog tragiske - fortællinger bag kulisserne. Ians evne til at finde det sjove i situationen, siger meget om hans karakter, og er en påmindelse om, at skuespillet nogle gange kræver at tage risici, selv når det betyder et stykke ukontrollerbar klovneri. Det er så sandelig en del af hans magi!
