It became known that the famous British actor Ian McKellen, who became famous, playing the role of a magician named Gandalf, at one time refused to pay a large fee for working at a private party. All because the artist did not want to play the role of "court jester".
And it was like this: Mr. McKellen got a license that would allow him to officially certify marriages. He did this not for commercial purposes, but for the sake of his close friend and colleague in the film "The X-Men" Patrick Stewart was able to marry his beloved, singer Sunny Ozell. The wedding of the celebrities was widely covered in the press, so Sean Parker, the billionaire, learned about this.
Not a priest, but a magician Gandalf the Gray!
At about this time he planned to marry and the ceremony wanted to organize simply stunning, costume in the spirit of "The Lord of the Rings". The rich man turned to Mr. McKellen, with a tempting offer. The billionaire promised the actor $ 1.5 million (!!!) for fulfilling the duties of registering a marriage.

This is the owner of the Golden Globe could not go.
