Sir Ian McKellen Accidentally Does Another Dame Maggie Smith Impression | The Graham Norton Show 

Ian’s so adorable when he realized he imitated Maggie again. Haha!

If they ever make a movie about Dame Maggie Smith she should be played by Sir Ian McKellen

"Didn't work, did it?"

From Macbeth, to Magneto to Gandalf. This is one of the greatest actors who lived.

Graham: and was it a nice potato? Ian: liverpools looking gorgeous these days.

Right when he uttered "You have not been doing me again, have you?" I swear I could actually hear Dame Maggie Smith herself 😂😂😂😂

I love that Maggie Smith is aware of his impersonation of her haha.

He is so cute it is unbelievable. I was so lucky to see him in Billingham. He, of course, was amazing.

Ian McKellen still has so much energy! Wonderful to see him so lively at 80 years old! May he live many more years.

I’m not one for personal contact, but who wouldn’t want to give Ian McKellan a hug? You know he would hug you right back with absolute love.

Nobody: An Irishman: "Was it a nice potato?" 🥔

A duel between Gandalf vs. Professor McGonagall would’ve been epic❤

Ugh, he’s so adorable. ❤

He really sounds like Maggie, I love it!

His laugh at the end is so full of life 😊 I love this man

he is so adorable and real 😅

Sir Ian played incredible, huge parts both in theatre and the movies. One thing never changes though, he always is a lovely lovely person.

What a lovely man, what a lovely dumbledore he would have played. But alas, Gandalf will do ❤️❤️

What a lovely Sir he is

Ian is the perfect gentleman.

I love him so much. I was watching Two Towers (for the 800th time probably) just last night and just flailing over every scene he had. I love this man so much

After this when he runs into Maggie she says... "So you have chosen DEATH, Sir Ian!"

I love it when he speaks, he is wunn of my only living heroes.

I so love this talkshow. it's possibly the most fun talk show I have ever seen and the guests seem to have so much fun as well.

He's so adorable and such a fabulous actor! I just love his Maggie Smith imitations. 😃👍❤

A national treasure and what a voice.

This show is always so positive and energetic

I need a travel show miniseries with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen like, yesterday.

It just comes out of him naturally, the Maggie Smith persona bwahahahaha!

he is a bit old now and it looks like heis starting to forget some things but he remembers very well some other thing. impossible not to like this guy. such a legend

Only Sir Ian could rock a paint colour palette shirt

And he's on the show again this upcoming weekend!

Sir Ian doesn't mishear words, he just corrects what Graham meant to say

I love Graham! He makes me laugh! Sir Ian is so adorable!

I'm from Burnley and I walk past that plaque everyday I walk to work. Funny it's by the wrong house😂😂

I have been a Maggie Smith fan since seeing The Honeypot. She was the outstanding performance in a stellar cast that included Rex Harrison, Cliff Robertson, Susan Hayuward, Capucine and Adolfo Celli.

Protect him at all cost.. He is sooo precious...

Sir Ian, the finest ♥️

I'm a simple guy, i see the word "Graham Norton" along with "Sir Ian Mckellen" i knew this will be gold,...

Sir Ian McKellen wearing orange slip-on is the best thing I have seen today!

The funniest part is him not even realizing he did it until Graham pointed it out haha

That man is a treasure!

Sir Ian is so warm and tender, I would love to meet him.

watched this a thousand times and still makes me laugh!!

Absolutely love this man!

I could watch him doing Maggie Smith all day. He is just adorable.

Imagine watching tv and hearing SIR IAN MCKELLEN say he had a massive crush on you!!!

I love Ian he is so gracious. He has a mad crush on Hugh Jackman, and you have to watch it is one Graham episode so sweet.

I love when he does that impersonation I am weak I can't with this I can't 😂😂😂😂😂 it would be so funny if he did this to her face😂😂😂😂

I always remember Gandalf and Magneto when I see him.

He really is a national treasure

The legend, love me some Ian McKellen

Adorable man. Brilliant actor.

Such a beautiful soul

i cant imagine Maggie Smith coming across this video on RU-vid 😂

What a legend

I want to grow old like Ian-dashing and witty

Oh wow.. That picture should be on Daniel Radcliffe journey through time series! (Third person from top right) 😂

Sir Ian McKellan brilliant!

"But there WERE girls in the class" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so cute

I wish I had Sir Ian McKellen’s golden voice.

Excuse me, that is Taron Egerton sitting quietly on the end!

Love Sir Ian.

Ì do so love Ian. Imagine spending an evening in a pub with him and just talking...… Pure bliss

I hope that man lives forever

LOTR could have been over so quickly... Gandalf should just have walked straight into Mordor and let Sauron die of laughter.

I love him.

Since I saw him playing Gus in the Cats movie, I find him asolutely adorable

He’s just the greatest.

They don't give Sir title for no reason 😍

Ian rocks!!!!!

"[Hopelessly] Been trying to..."

If people want to see Sir Ian at his comic best, with sarcasm, and one-lines and just having a gala time, I suggest people watch Vicious. It will literally cure your depression!

I love him so much 🤣

I just love how he cracks up at the end lolol

Ian The Gre-at!!!!! ♥♥

You know Maggie, he does it because he loves you that much! You and Ian are so beloved from the many characters you played. GOD is trying to figure out which hat (Harry Potter prop or The Hobbit props) to wear to welcome you and Ian home WHEN your time comes. HE and the Angels are waiting to give you a standing ovation. Don’t neither of you two rush, you have shopping and a few more errands to run before that happens. Upon arrival, a row of wands will be pointing at you, make sure you cleared any cobwebs and skeletons in your closets to avoid any bibbity, bobbity, boo (poof effect). Angels loves props too. With much love and admiration 🫶👏👏👏👍🏆😇

Amazing

Someone please bubble wrap him...😩

I love him and maggie

i would give a arm and a leg to hear sir Ian McKellen say "the boy i was madly in love with" to me

My one wish is for sir Ian to live forever

I stayed in his former dorm at St. Catz during my study abroad at Cambridge in 2000. :) Very exciting for this gayling when Ian McKellen was one of (very) few out celebrities.

i love Ian McKellen

One of my most favourite clips.

Imagine him playing albus in the Harry Potter films would of been epic

The end its delightful

Couldn't ask for a better Gandalf.

Our Gandalf!

Is he wearing a paint shade card shirt

He's PERFECT!

My Gawd He is HA LARIOUS

What a treasure he is

We must treasure him

He doesn’t even know it! Haha so cute!

if Sir Ian McKellan isn't the cutest thing in this planet, i don't know cute! he's a adorable! That laugh and smile! ugh. I'm dead!

Oh my goodness, he's adorable.

That was a genuine accident! This is precious.

One more impression of her and they might have a Wizard’s duel

The Maggie Smith impersonation begins at 2:22
