Ian McKellen believes his fat suit protected his ‘ribs and other joints’ when he fell off the stage during ‘Player Kings’ in June
Sir Ian McKellen bows at the curtain call during the press night performance of 'Player Kings' at the Noel Coward Theatre on April 11, 2024 in London, England.
“I was wearing a fat suit for Falstaff and that saved my ribs and other joints,” he explained. “So I’ve had a lucky escape really.” He continued, “The more I tried to get rid of it, the faster I proceeded down a step, onto the forestage, and then on to the lap of someone in the front row. I started screaming, ‘Help me!’ and then ‘I’m sorry! I don’t do this!’ Extraordinary things. I thought it was the end of something. It was very upsetting.”
