Lol I just found out Ian Mckellen, the actor who plays Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings is gay :P

J Snow · 22nd Dec 2011, 07:58 PM

Yes indeedy. He also played Magneto in X-Men I do believe.

Yup, he played them both.

Rooni321 · 23rd Dec 2011, 12:07 AM

Woah, I didn't know that either!

**Gerry** · 23rd Dec 2011, 12:38 AM

Yeah, I've known Ian McKellan was gay for quite some years now.

Allegro molto · 23rd Dec 2011, 12:44 AM

I found out in AP American Politics my senior year when we were talking about gay rights (for some reason). He was among the gay celebrities she put in the powerpoint.

No One · 23rd Dec 2011, 02:02 AM

You know who is also unexpectedly gay? The guy that played Spock in the newest Star Trek movie. Just thought I would point that out lol.

Zachary Quinto

My shocking "*gasp* He's GAY?!??!?!" moment was with two people: Bill Sindelar (former host of a G4TV show called "Blister" that previewed and reviewed video games....he was cute.

It took some serious digging to find out about him, though. xD My most recent one was Barrett Foa, who plays a supporting character in NCIS: Los Angeles. That one shocked me greatly. xD

Heh, I didn't know about him, but I did get that vibe from him/his character.

Same with the psychologist guy! But I feel like he's more one of those "he seems like he could be gay, but probably is straight and just seems that way". I don't remember his name. I also haven't watched the show in quite a while.

Samadhi · 24th Dec 2011, 02:05 AM

Of course Gandalf is guy. He's a wizard with a staff with a big knob on the end.

I <3 Ian Mckellen

Friendly ghost · 24th Dec 2011, 09:40 AM

OMG I can not believe he is GAY!!!!!!! Those are two of my favorite characters! I seriously love X-Men and Lord of the Rings. Especially Magneto and Gandolf.

mAOz · 24th Dec 2011, 11:16 AM

One of my bi-sexual friends mentioned this a couple of days ago when someone made a comment about wizards being 'gay'.

Revan · 25th Dec 2011, 06:31 AM

He was my "HE'S GAY?!" moment
