Renowned actor Sir Ian McKellen has recently made his first public appearance since his fall from the stage during a performance. The 85-year-old was spotted outside his home in East London, where he warmly greeted a friend. Despite wearing a wrist brace, Sir Ian appeared to be in good health, sporting a stylish cap and white trousers.
The incident occurred on June 18 during a fight scene in his play, Player Kings, in the West End. Sir Ian was taken to the hospital and was unable to return for the remainder of the show's run. However, he reassured his fans that he is well and currently undergoing physiotherapy and rest at home.
In an interview with The Agency, Sir Ian shared, "After three nights in the hospital, my doctors have fully analyzed my fall and I am now receiving treatment and rest at home. Meanwhile, my role in Player Kings is being brilliantly filled by David Semark, with the support of Robert Icke's incredible production and cast. I am grateful for all the love and support I have received, which I am sure will aid in my speedy recovery."
Although Sir Ian plans to join the cast for their upcoming national tour, his understudy David Semark will be taking over for the remaining performances of Player Kings in the West End. A statement from the production team expressed their excitement for Sir Ian's return and announced the show's tour schedule.
Many fans were concerned about Sir Ian's well-being after the incident, but the actor himself has reassured everyone that he is doing well. He also expressed his gratitude towards the National Health Service and the medical staff who have been taking care of him. Sir Ian wrote on social media, "I am immensely grateful for the kind messages and support I have received. The NHS staff who have treated me have assured me of a speedy recovery, and I am looking forward to getting back to work."
