If you were hoping to see the 69 year old actor, Ian McKellen, nude in the public television screening of King Lear, then you better think again. Having already been released on DVD, King Lear featured the actor in a full-frontal nude scene. And for those who don’t know, King Lear is a screenplay originally written by Shakespeare in the 1600s.
The scene was cut completely from the upcoming TV version, but fret not as McKellen states that the removal of the scene won’t detract from the movies quality.
Ian McKellen can attribute his fame to the role of Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
