Ian McKellen is looking for a pair in Shanghai

The famous British actor Ian McKellen, whom many know by the role of Gandalf in the films "The Lord of the Rings", is now busy trying to find a partner for himself. This became known after the Internet got shots from Shanghai, which was captured by a man.

Ian McKellen speaks openly about love

A few days ago, the 77-year-old actor flew to China. He did this in order to attend the Shanghai International Film Festival. In addition, his trip is also connected with the fact that McKellen is very actively promoting the programs of the cultural organization "The Life of Shakespeare." In his view, the country in which there is a British embassy is an excellent option for cooperation with the citizens of this state.

Free time from work Ian decided to spend quite unordinary. He went to the famous marriage market in Shanghai, where locals and visitors come to find their second half. McKellen, completely unconcerned by the fact that his person attracted the attention of the paparazzi, was placed on the market, having written several tablets. The first one could read the following:

"Ian. 77 years. The height is 5 feet and 9 inches. Education - Cambridge University. I have a house in London. Active. "

The second was written no less interesting information, which was a quote from Shakespeare:

"Love looks at the heart, not the eyes."

Ian McKellen dreams of meeting his beloved man

The British actor McKellen was born in 1939 in the UK. For the first time he openly declared his homosexuality in 1988 on the BBC. After 2 years he became one of the first gays who do not hide their orientation and openly support people with non-traditional orientation. He is a zealous activist of the movement "For the Rights of Gender and Sexual Minorities".

For today, only two novels of Ian are reliably known. The first was with the actor Sean Matias and lasted 10 years. The second with the teacher Brian Taylor, with whom McKellen met about 8 years. In addition, the press periodically reveals information that McKellen is in a close relationship with his friend, the actor Patrick Stewart, but the confirmation or denial of any of the actors on this occasion did not give. In his last interview, McKellen confessed that he dreams of meeting a beloved man, and is already tired of being alone.
