Ian McKellen spent the last 15 years playing Gandalf, one of the character links between the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the two Hobbit films. Peter Jackson, the director of all six of the Tolkien film adaptations, posted this photo with McKellen on Facebook: “Seconds ago we finished our last shot with Gandalf. The end of an incredible adventure that began in 1999. I’m feeling very sad right now.” Well, they’ll always have the shire – that, and PILES of money. (Photo via Facebook)
