Sir Ian McKellen has recently spoken about how at 86, he’s preparing himself for the end “I’ve had to accept that I’m not immortal.”

When his day comes, it will certainly hit hard for me! But I have to say, every time you hear Ian McKellen talk about death. He always makes it sound comforting in a way, especially with his iconic line in Lord of the Rings “Death is just another path, one that we all must take.” and even in the Avengers: Doomsday X-Men teaser trailer “The question isn’t: ‘are you prepared to die?’ The question is: ‘who will you be, when you close your eyes?’”
