Sir Ian McKellen Taken to Hospital After Falling Off London Stage
Sir Ian McKellen fell off stage during a play in London’s West End Monday and was rushed to a hospital for evaluation, the BBC reported.
The 85-year-old was in the middle of a performance of Shakespeare’s Henry IV when he lost his footing during a fight scene and tumbled off the stage at the Noël Coward theater.
Moments later the Lord of the Rings actor cried for help and the theater lights came on, shocking attendees who were quickly evacuated from the building while an ambulance transported McKellen to the hospital.
