Ian McKellen He is one of the most prolific actors in recent years, whom we have seen in countless roles in films such as The Da Vinci Code, X-Men or the saga of The Lord of the Rings among many others.
The actor will receive recognition in a town in the north of England called Wigan, where he will receive a star in the purest style of the Walk of Fame, but in a British version. McKellen lived here during the 40s and, as he stated on many occasions, has many fond memories.
Born in 1939 and shortly after he left for Wigan when he was just three years old and where he stayed until he was 11, McKellen said it will be fascinating to see how the city changed since 1951, something that will bring back many memories. , although surely he will no longer remember any of his friends.
It is rare that an actor like this who has been working almost uninterruptedly since 1965 does not have the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but surely he is not on merit. To open his mouth, his first star will be in this town that saw him grow up for almost a decade.
