sir ian mckellen – Question of Smoke

chuckxavier:

_{Can I just say because I wanted to say thank you to you all these years. I’m sure I have. I hope I have. I was very nervous on that first film. I started three weeks in, it was my first movie and there was a lot going on. There was a lot of people and I remember you pulling me aside and saying: ‘this sometimes is going to feel uncomfortable, it’s gonna be overwhelming. But you’re in good hands and everything is going to be okay.’ Both of you were such heroes of mine, I was a little starstruck. It was the first day I met you and you saying that to me, I never ever forgot it.}

today, on how to deal with hero worship: sir ian mckellen.

HOW ARE THEY REAL

#squadgoals

Never stops making me smile. I want someone like this in my life. 💜

Okay so the best thing,the best thing about Sirs Patrick & Ian being best friends is that they met because of the X-Men movie.

I saw Sir Patrick speak a year or so ago and someone asked him about their friendship. He told this story about how I think they’d once or twice worked on the same production but had had very little interaction, and that when he’d been a kid, he’d utterly looked up to Sir Ian, who had had an established theater career at a very young age.

People assume that they’ve been friends since they were young, which makes sense given the sort of work they’ve done and their career trajectories, but no. Sir Patrick basically had a giant hero-crush-from-a-distance on Sir Ian for most of his life AND THEN on the set of X-Men, their trailers were put next to each other and they were significantly older than anyone else on the set, so they started spending their downtime together.

And became inseparable. And this is amazing.

So everyone who wants a friend like this, you have time. ❤

i will always reblog this epic friendship

Something to keep in mind next time you feel lonely. Making friends as you get older can feel really hard, and sometimes it feels like you might never make new friends. These two went most of their lives with the best friendship of their lives still yet to come. This kind of friendship is definitely worth sticking around for.
