It’s official. Gandalf will be marrying<\/a> Jean-Luc Picard. In a way.<\/p>\n

Sir Ian McKellen, the actor known for playing roles such as Magneto in the Bryan Singer X-Men<\/em> movies and Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings<\/em> movies, has announced that he will be officiating the wedding of Sir Patrick Stewart and Stewart’s fiance, Sunny Ozell.<\/p>\n

Stewart is well-known for many roles, notably as Professor Charles Xavier in the Singer X-Men<\/em> movies and as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on the TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>.<\/p>\n

McKellen announced his marriage responsibilities during an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show<\/em>. He also stated that he has performed a marriage before, officiating the civil partnership of two men in the U.K.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to marry Patrick,” said McKellen, who immediately saw the problem with his wording. “But, no, well, how else do you put that? I am going to officiate, yes, at his wedding.”<\/p>\n

McKellen also jokingly propositioned Doctor Who<\/em> actor Matt Smith, who briefly showed up during the interview. The host later plays a clip of McKellen’s first appearance on television in 1964. The marriage revelation begins at the 11-minute mark in the video below:<\/p>\n
