Gandalf's Got Prostate Cancer, But Don't Worry It's "Contained"
Ian McKellen tells The Daily Mirror (via NYDN) that seven years ago his doctor told him he has prostate cancer, but there's no reason to do the slow wall slide while bawling with your mouth wide open, because the cancer is just sitting on his prostate and not going anywhere. It's kind of hard for Ian's prostate cancer to move when it has most of humanity screaming at it, "DON'T. YOU. FUCKING. MOVE. IAN MCKELLEN IS AN INTERNATIONAL TREASURE. STOP. DON'T. YOU DIDN'T ASK 'MOTHER, MAY I?' YOU. SHALL. NOT. PASS!" Ian shrugged while saying this about having prostate cancer:
“You do gulp when you hear the news. It’s like when you go for an HIV test, you go ‘Arghhh is this the end of the road? They come and say you have cancer of the prostate and then they say you can have it zapped, you can have it snipped but you are not a candidate for that. You are ‘waitful watching.' I have heard of people dying from prostate cancer, and they are the unlucky ones, the people who didn’t know they had got it and it went on the rampage. But at my age if it is diagnosed its not life threatening. I’ve not had any treatment."
I'd offer Ian my prostate, but I'm pretty sure it's unusable and looks like a dehydrated chicken liver that's been beat with a stick too many times. Ian doesn't want it anywhere near his ass. And since Ian's got prostate cancer, I'm going to give him a one-time fug pass for wearing UGGs to JFK the other day. Just like prostate cancer, I hope that Ian's love for wearing UGGS falls into Mount Doom and never comes back again.

I hope everything goes fine.

Maybe they should send a hobbit proctologist in to get it. That would be an unforgettable journey for sure.
At his age, surgery is probably riskier. Watchful waiting is the way to go. Oftentimes, there's no need to do anything.

Hahahahahahaha! That is awesome. He also claimed to live in a haunted house and would have his friend try to break in to test his security. He seems like he was quite a character.
Did you know he is Jared Harris' (Lane Pryce on Mad Men, Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes, etc) father?
I thought his dad was Richard Harris? I would really love this to be true!
Well, at least I know what to get Sir Ian for Xmas:

Bitch, you are not better then Keanu Reeves!
Most men his age have prostate problems, if not slow cancer. If he hasn't had it treated, why is he telling us this?
I was reading some bios of Richard Harris the other day*, who played Dumbledore in the first two Harry Pottahs. He fell down drunk on the street once and a bobby asked him what he was doing. He said the world was spinning. The cop said, So why are you lying there? Harris said, I'm waiting for my house to come by.
*A friend is getting married next to MacArthur Park and I'm begging him to use the song in his wedding.
Okay, if Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto, none of that Gandalf crap) can wear the Uggs I say .. Uggs can do no more wrong!
and on a more sober note, sorry about the cancer :(

This reminds me of the time I ordered my sartorially challenged mother to throw away one of her exceptionally horrid pieces of clothing and she responded "But I get compliments on it all the time! People like it!" And I replied, with my nose turned up, "People also like Uggs".

I heard one Doctor on the radio once refer to prostate cancer treatments as a Urologists bonus plan. There's multiple ways of treating prostate cancer and many aren't any better than doing nothing. Unless you have a specific kind that's highly malignant, which is what they determine with the biopsy.

Somebody mentioned he was great as Magneto. Agreed, he brought depth and humanity to the character - always essential for a good villain.
Fuck the X-Men movies though. These clowns are supposed to save the earth and every movie is all of them (especially twinkletoes Wolverine) getting their asses kicked repeatedly. Even the frog guy kicked all their asses. Losers.

My gramps was disgnosed with prostate cancer when he was well into his 80s. His doc also advised he do nothing since it progresses so slowly and the treatment would be more traumatic than the disease. He finally passed away earlier this year of unrelated causes at the age of 95. We're glad we didn't have to put him thru any unnecessary pain and suffering since in the end it didn't matter.

MEEEEEEE!
I remember Sir Ian declared after LOTR that he wasn't gonna play Gandalf again, because he felt someone else should get the chance. But after everybody in the world shouted "NOOOOOO NOBODY BUT SIR IAN!", he changed his mind.

No, Sir Ian only played elderly wizards who were sword-swinging badasses.

No, Dumbledore in Harry Potter was originally Richard Harris, but he passed away and was replaced by Michael Gambon.

Didn't he also play the old dude in Harry Potter?

Men just get it at different ages. I remember the statistic being if a man lives to 100, there is a 100 percent chance he will have it, even if undetected. They just die from something else like heart attack either before getting the cancer or when it's there and not doing much.
get well! i'm not a lotr fan, but he ian is my EVERYTHING when he's magneto..he's the main reason i watch the x-men movies...

Not to be dismissive, but he'll die of something else before he dies of prostate cancer.
ETA: Best wishes for his good health, though.
Simply a treasure, the old queer.

I just LOL'ed at the thought of Ian McKellen yelling at his prostate "YOU! SHALL! NOT! PASS!!!!"
Seriously though, this guy is the man. Even with the uggs. I hope he beats the shit out of that cancer.
