Face of the Day

The Lord of the Rings star announced he was withdrawing from his role in the West End play to focus on his recovery.

Sir Ian McKellen has made a heartbreaking confession months after he shockingly fell from the stage while performing a theatre show in London.

The 85-year-old actor was in the middle of a fight scene in the production Player Kings at the Noel Coward Theatre on June 17 when he reportedly lost his footing and tumbled off the stage, resulting in a hospitalisation.

Sustaining multiple injuries including a chipped vertebrae and fractured wrist, the Lord of the Rings star soon announced he was withdrawing from his role in the West End play to focus on his recovery.
