Questions! Questions That Need Answering

The Best Answers To Come Out Of Ian McKellen Taking Over The Hobbit Twitter Feed Yesterday

We already love Sir Ian McKellen a great deal but a recent takeover of the official The Hobbit twitter feed reminds us why. The thespian was asked questions by fans via an #AskGandalf hashtag and answered so many, the account hit their maximum for the afternoon. But don’t worry, plenty was said and we’ve documented it here for posterity. Hit the jump to see which were our favorites (the questions are on the right). We’ve ranked them by how many favorites they received from users.

Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +?

    Oh bless his soul for that response to the Aragorn/Legloas question. Let out a small gasp and giggle, though I’d like to spend BOTH the evening and night with Aragorn.

    It’s official: all of my favorite, most beloved actors are British (Welsh, Scottish, Irish, etc.) (*>ω<*)

    Oh that was wonderful! I am so in love with that man… in a total platonic way where I would still snuggle.

    I wish Sir Ian many years left. He always makes me laugh and knows how to be exactly what tounge in cheek should be.

    If only he could express his desire to skip that question, by means of some spoken phrase, or even a single word. Unfortunately…

    Well, clearly, you cannot pass on such a question.

    I’m probably reading this wrong, but did you refer to Irish people as British?
