Sir Ian McKellen was offered $1.5 million to dress up as Gandalf from “The Lord of the Rings” movies and officiate at the wedding of a Facebook billionaire, but he turned it down.

You might recall several years ago Sean Parker hosted a straight up crazy $10mm wedding in the woods of Bid Sur, California.  Complete with hand fitted Lord of the Rings style outfits for all the guests, lest one of them look silly being dressed in something not out of a fairy tale.  He caught a lot of grief for the affair, but mostly from those not invited.

But Sir McKellen says he was asked to officiate the wedding, and he even considered it. That is till he was told he had to dress as Gandalf to do so and that’s when he decided …Nah.. s’ok. I’m good.

McKellen told the Daily Mail, “I said, ‘I am sorry, Gandalf doesn’t do weddings.’”
