Veteran actor Ian McKellen says he gets pestered by Harry Potter fans who confuse his Lord of the Rings (LOTR) character Gandalf for Professor Dumbledore. McKellen said Dumbledore actor Michael Gambon, who played Harry Potter's mentor in six films, has the same problem with LOTR fans thinking he's Gandalf all the time, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Speaking on "David Tennant Does A Podcast With...', McKellen said: "I used to be very shy, to go to a party to me was misery because I didn't feel I could talk to anybody... When I should have been meeting people I'd be sitting in the corner waiting for it to be over."
