Veteran actor Ian McKellen is looking forward to a 'complete and speedy' recovery, as well as a return to work, after falling offstage during a Monday performance of 'Player Kings' in London. 'I want to thank everyone for their kind messages and support,' the 85-year-old film, TV and theater star said Tuesday in a statement to The Times.
The Oscar-nominated 'Gods and Monsters' actor was taken to a hospital after the accident, the theater said Monday, adding that he would make a 'full recovery' and that he was in 'good spirits.' McKellen, who portrays John Falstaff in the adaption of William Shakespeare’s “Henry IV, Part 1” and “Henry IV, Part 2,” reportedly cried out after toppling from the front of the stage.
