Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen
Sir Patrick Stewart (80) started his acting career on the British stage and gained fame during the eighties thanks to his iconic role as Captain Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Similarly, Sir Ian McKellen (81) gained worldwide recognition thanks to his role memorable as Magneto in the X-Men films and Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
It almost seems as if the two stars were destined to be friends, and today, their surprisingly sweet bromance is attracting media and public attention. The two friends share many great memories together, including holidays and Thanksgiving dinners. The two have been close friends for almost five decades now, since they met in the Royal Shakespeare Company in the early seventies.
