X-Men star Ian McKellen has revealed that he’s received the COVID-19 vaccine. The 81-year-old actor shared the news with his followers today on his Twitter page, along with a link to an article on the full story. “I feel very lucky to have had the vaccine,” he wrote. “I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.” While speaking to ITV News, the Hollywood legend, best known for playing Gandalf and Magneto, two iconic cinematic characters, said: “That’s the real bonus of all this, to watch and see what works in this country and what doesn’t work – and it seems to me the NHS is right at the top of the list for institutions that do work.” McKellen went on to praise the organization, which he remembers first coming into being in the 1940s.
