Risk 88

Actor

86 years oldBritish0 picksBorn May 25, 1939

Sir Ian McKellen has been commanding stages and screens for over six decades, cementing his legendary status as both Gandalf the Grey and Magneto—proving he's equally comfortable saving Middle-earth or trying to destroy humanity. At 86, this theatrical titan shows no signs of slowing down, still treading the boards with the vigor of someone half his age (though a recent stage tumble reminded everyone that even wizards aren't immortal). With a knighthood, a Tony, six Oliviers, and the undying devotion of fantasy nerds worldwide, McKellen remains one of Britain's most treasured exports.
