Sir Ian McKellen won't officiate your wedding dressed as Gandalf. Not even for $1.5 million

Actor Ian McKellen has refused £1 million offer to officiate the wedding of a businessman dressed his Lord of The Rings character, Gandalf.

The 77-year-old actor was asked to appear at the wedding of Napster founder Sean Parker, but he turned down the deal, saying he cannot be dressed as Gandalf, reported Female First.

"I was offered one-and-a-half million dollars to marry a very famous couple in California, which I would perhaps have considered doing but I had to go dressed as Gandalf. So I said, 'I am sorry, Gandalf doesn't do weddings'," he said.

The Hobbit star revealed he does not go dressing up on such occasions. "He was a very rich man, that's all I know. I don't go dressing up - except in plays and things at places like this."
