LotR: RotK LE - Queen Gandalf 

"Now come the days of the Queen" Sir Ian is such a good sport with a wonderful sense of humor, bless him.

Sir Ian had never looked more fabulous

“Peter we’ve literally got days left to finalise and distribute the film, is everything on track for the deadline?” “...peter?”

I love Jackson's reaction: At first he's like "omg what are they doing", and then "Well, why not" xD

Now come the days of the queen, may they be fabulous.

and somewhere in Mirkwood Thranduil is demanding who's Gandalf's stylist :p

Plot twist: Gandalf becomes queen of Gondor.

_In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!_

The thing that I love most about this is how absolutely seriously he delivered the lines, and that everyone managed to not laugh until the shot was done... I want to see this absolutely serious ending in a movie somewhere :)

Gandalf the pink!

“we haven’t had anything camp this entire film so far” is gold 😂😂

I guess Gandalf ran out of fireworks and moved to flowers lol

I'd like to see a Queen Gandalf spin-off. He's got a fantastic element of surprise.

Gandalf the Fabulous?

I love how everyone claps at the end. Well done, Lady Gandalf.

anyone else notice his wink here?.... 1:29

Everyone talks about Gandalf (with good reason!), but what everyone failed to acknowledge was Peter’s “WELL, WHY NOT?” 😂

"It's divine!" My thoughts exactly. XD

So this is what happens when Gandalf takes the ring.

"come rain, come shine, come dancing" is literally the gayest phrase ive ever heard

I love this man. Such a good sport.

Gandalf the sass queen

Just the fact that he pulled off that scene without breaking out into laughter is proof he's one of the greatest actors out there :)

I love how it's totally silent for a few seconds, and then you just hear one, single snort followed by everyone else, like they PHYSICALLY could not hold it back anymore. XD

Man, how did Ian Mckellen keep a straight face doing that? Epic

i love that we live in a world that has youtube to allow me to watch these great video FOR FREE

"I'm sure Professor Tolkein would have approved." BAHAHAHA!

1:14 - I love how Virggo is takeing pictures and Elijiah is just laughing

You know you're working with good people when you can do stuff like that and the Director allows it at least once. If you can have fun at work, you're in a good job.

I was able to hold my laugher in until he said, "now come the days of the queen". Oh god. XD

oh god I thought it was impossible for me to love Sir Ian anymore than I already do but he just keeps proving me wrong year after year X'D

I love how he just keeps backing up

I love Peter Jackson's reaction. "Well, why not"

I've never seen this clip before. Thanks for sharing. So happy to see that the cast and crew had some find times while making all three LOTRs movies.

"Now comes the days of the Queen." ROFL!!!! Ian McKellan is so sporting! Looks like they really had fun making the LOTR series.

lol Frodo and Gandalf are inseparable even in real life haha Gandalf housewife, you rock!! ;)

Whenever I come across this scene in the book I can no longer take it seriously without picturing Gandalf in a pretty wig.

ian is so adorable!!

You know he's a professional because he does it with a straight face.

"It's all right, Captain. We always knew you were a whoopsie."

Sir Ian McKellen, never stop being awesome :D

1:30 DID HE JUST WINK. XDDD

One snort and then everyone starts laughing! If I had been Ian I would never have been able to keep a straight face!

I miss the LotR days so much.

I know I'm not the only one who wishes he were my grandpa. He's just that fucking awesome and the fact that he did it with his compsure in tact... *bows lowly*

Ian Mckellen is by far one of my favorite actors, he is fucking priceless.

lmao... these guys had so much fun with this production!! Love it! Rhiannon

Now come the days of the queen.... that phrase will NEVER leave my mind.

How he can do that without laughing is just amazing

hearing gandalf say divine is just awesome

i would like to have Sir Ian Mckellen as a friend. he is such a badass!

“Now come the days of the queen” *stares at the camera” “Me”

Ian McKellan is just so awesome!

OMG if they had a clip of him with this wig and Elrond when the hairstylist gave him this crazy girly hairdo, that would've been insane! This is absolutely brilliant though! :D

What fun!!! Thank you so much Sir Ian!!

This is not even camp. Oo He didn't really act poofy or anything. It's just an old wise wizard who puts flowers in his hair whenever he damn well pleases. xD

This always cracked me up. Behing the Scenes is awesome.

That's why it's funny! He's a queen! He really is fabulous!

1:12 This is Amazon LOTR.

"We haven't had anything camp in this whole movie" This is LOTR we're talking about - how on earth did you miss it all?

so is this the era of Gandalf of many colors?

wow, you're one of those are you.... Ive actually had the pleasure of meeting SIR Ian, and after adressing him as Sir Ian, he actually corrected us and said, "just call me Ian".

Gandalf the Gay.

Am I the only one that died when dear sir Ian gushed "oh isn't it divine" ? XD Great actor but sometimes a queen is still just a queen LMAO

It's so hard to keep a straight face watching this clip...... "Now come the days of the Queen...." and may they be hilarious! XD

The mark of a good actor, not breaking out laughing

Jon Snow: “You’re my Queen.”

What an awsome sense of humor

im sure i remember seeing this on tv and something about mckellen and jackson blowing raspberries after they shot this comes to my memory haha

I was watching Return of the King today, and I just could not take this scene seriously after watching this.

Here comes the days of the queen.... Queen Gandalf, that is.

My all time favorite actor!

One does not simply to take Gandalf-Queen seriously

So love Sir Ian!

greatest thing i've ever seen

Such a majestic creature, this Wizard Diva.

Gandalf watching TV. I don't know how i get here, but it's magic.

Now come the days of Queen Gandalf!

This is amazing.

"Now come the days of the Queen" XD. And did Ian wink @ 1:32? Love that guy.

Very graceful, indeed!

they should have used this take in the movie

LOL. omg. THIS, with that weird hairdo with weird rings they were considering including in Elrond's hair for this scene, would have been ridiculously hilarious.

lol in the ad before the video the guy's name is joey aragorn. whaaa! perfect!

Ian sounds just like Stephen Fry when he says "that's divine".

They should've gone for this version of the scene in the extended edition. They should've done one take where he wore it as a beard too.

"Gandalf?... Yes, that is what they used to call me, Gandalf the grey, that was my name. I am Gandalf the Queer and i come back to you now at the turn of the tide, now follow me handsome."

ian mckellen is AWESOME :D

I Will never look at gandalf the same way after this..

I wonder what is the psychological thing behind the fact that if there is a long moment of silence and you hear another person "crack", you start immediately "cracking" up yourself.

how you do that with a straight face amazes me...

omg I wish they had used the footage with that wig!! I am laughing hard! this vid makes me so happy :D

and he made some "Gandalf the gay" jokes himself, which makes him only more fabulous

Sir Ian looks like such a nice guy =)

its soo funny because how he keeped up the face

That's a good look for Sir Ian McKellan. :^D

The way Ian Mckellen was hitting on Aragorn the entire triolgy he needs this

HAHAHA! I just burst out laughing with that shot of Ian with that wig... OMG hilarious xD

Now comes the days of the Queen, lol Gandalf in curlers!

hahaha that wig Ian has to wear is hilarious!
