Happy 77th Birthday, Sir Ian Murray McKellen! [ May 25, 1939]
‘Before acting, I wanted to become a journalist. I also toyed with the idea of being a chef - but that’s only when people asked me what I wanted to be. In fact, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I didn’t ever believe that I was good enough to become one.’ - Ian McKellen.
