Sir Ian McKellen says the “thought of not working is horrifying” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The 81-year-old actor admits he feared being “robbed” of his last few years of his acting career because of the current health crisis and believes Dame Maggie Smith or Dame Judi Dench would feel the same.
