Sir Ian McKellen Got Mistaken For Michael Gambon | The Graham Norton Show 

Sir McKellen on the red sofa is ALWAYS a delight ! What a charming man, what an actor !

I think this might be the first time Ian's been on the couch for the whole show, because every time he's arrived later on, so it's nice to see he gets to be here for the whole ride

can never get over the fact Sir Ian is 84, hes a spritely and sharp as anything.

Not Michael Sheen ready to protect Sir Ian with his own life throughout the entire episode! 😂 He's such a sweetheart!

Sir Ian treated Michael Sheen like a favorite nephew and for his part Michael Sheen looks like he would block London traffic just to let Sir Ian cross the road, it's really adorable!

adore that girl "michael gambon is dead" "that's not what I asked"

I will never forget Sir Ian on SNL pretending to be Maggie Smith. That's the funniest thing I've ever seen!

I love Sir Ian McKellen's sense of humor 💜

Ian McKellan is such a lengend

Sir Ian is such a treasure ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

When I was a kid I thought that Michael Gambon has played both Gandalf and Dumbledore.

The best thing I got from this is that Sir Ian uses the DLR 😭

He is never not funny!! Love his friendship/brotherhood with Sir Patrick Stewart!!

I love and adore that man so much! 🥰

Sir Ian McKellen is fantastic! I love him ❤ "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" ❤

Sir Ian is such a treasure ️‍️‍️‍

Ian McKellen is the best. Still sharp as a tack.

Fun Fact. In Italian both Gambon and McKellen were dubbed by the same actor. The late (and Great) Gianni Musy.

He's doing a one-man show as the ghost of Michael Gambon.

Sir Ian is a legend and all the guests are great, but where are the Michael Sheen clips??

I often get them mixed up too when explaining Gandalf and Dumbledore to my friends and family XD

i couldn't differentiate between the two in their wizard attire until i saw ian in xmen 😆

He knows how to tell a story.

A ghost of legendary proportions. 😏

By the way, channel managers, if you're going to put "Sir" in front of McKellen's name, it stands to reason that you should put one in front of Gambon's.

I love Michael Gambon and Ian mckellen and I love how they just accept to be mistaken. They both are/were great actor, funny, with charm. True actor, not star. I saw a lot of period movie with Michael and he just always made me cry. I love the friendship between Ian and Patrick Stewart. I love that in one movie he played Merlin. Here we are Dumbledore, Gandalf and Merlin. (knowing that in LOT they said that there are 2 blue wizard who are disapear we could dream they are Merlin and Dumbledore!)😂 I would have love a graham show with all 3.

Sir Ian McKellen with his other celebrity impression is the best 🥰

Sir Ian is a national treasure 😂😂alongside with Graham❤

Sir Graham Norton, I have read 2 of your fiction novels thus far, and I wanted to give you a big 👏 Bravo! You are a fantastic fiction writer.

That impression of Gambon was incredible

My takeaway from this is I might meet Sir Ian McKellen on the DLR!

I did used to confuse Gandalf and Dumbledore as a kid though.

Thanks so much for posting

RIP Michael!!!

For a long time, when I was little, I used to think Dumbledore was played by Ian McKellen.

*Gandalf:* Have the young man step forward. *Vitrivius:* As you wish, Double-Door (Dumbledore). *Gandalf:* I'm Gandalf! - _The Lego Movie_

Gary Oldman told a similar story when David Bowie passed away. They were great friends & met on a street in London one day by accident. They were chatting away when a person approached them and asked David Bowie for his autograph. Before he signed it he said to the autograph hunter ' this is Gary Oldman would you like to have his autograph to which the person replied " No " Bowie signed it and gave it back and the person put it in his bag and left. Bowie said to Oldman ' sorry about that it was very rude not to ask you but he will get a surprise when he gets home. Why said Oldman ' and Bowie said ' i signed your name on it '

I wonder how much a Gambon-McKellan signature is worth?

I found out just resently that he was not in HP and I was in such a shock 😅. In my defense I watched HP once and may be only 2 of them

HE'S DEAD KAREN Karen: yes but are you him? :-)

He Looks Like Christopher Plummer!

Well who doesn't confuse them? Both are the same age and played long White bearded wizards.

That laugh 😅😅😅😅😅

Didn't they call Ian McKellens Stunt-Doll which they used on The Hobbit Trilogy "Michael Gambon" ?

Brilliant !!

Yeah but Gandalf came back from the dead… 😂😂

This is hilarious.

Sır ian mckellen ❤

hope you're looking into booking Muireann Bradley - standing ovation on Jules Holland NYE, Late Late Show star, BBC Music most watched video and just got Ticketmaster's Rising Star of 2024.

An icon for the LGBTQA community.

I like Gandalf 😊😊😊

I made that mistake!! Ahahahah!

Loved him in Star Trek. Engage!

O segundo melhor Maggie Smith ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Gambon would have loved this story

Imagine being that girl and seeing this clip.. the embarrassment

How many times has Ian been on?

was it like right after Michael Gambon's passing? 😂

*RIP Sir Ian McKellen 1939-2024*

The DLR doesn't run in the west end

😂

😉

😂😂😂

0:56 i'm all for mobid humour but I feel the first "Michael Gambon is dead" shouldn't have got a laugh... The second one, yes, of course.. Maybe I'm just really sad he is...

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Who else is living in the never ending loop of The Graham Norton show 👀

0:45 - these genZ lunatics are everywhere 🤷‍♂😭

What is so simple about saying that a person is dead? Are these modern women stupid? Seems so because a simple statement they could not comprehend. It means he is not that person they are taking about.

You and I broke God's law Jesus paid the fine. I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE (JESUS). No one comes to the Father (GOD) except through Me. John 14:6 Scared of dying? Jesus died for you. Believe and repent of your sin today!
