Sir\u00a0Ian McKellen<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>was hospitalized in the middle of a theatrical performance, according to a new report by the\u00a0BBC<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>on Monday, June 17. The\u00a0X-Men\u00a0<\/em>star, 85, took a tumble while having a fight scene, which brought the show to an early close. It\u2019s not clear if he had any serious injuries<\/a> from the fall, but he was still taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n

The outlet reported that Ian had \u201clost his footing and fell\u201d during a fight scene for Henry IV <\/em>at London\u2019s No\u00ebl Coward theatre. The show\u2019s both parts are being performed by the Player Kings in London\u2019s West End for 12 weeks. Ian plays John Falstaff, and he reportedly fell off the front of the stage, as he began circling for a battle scene. The outlet said that he \u201ccried out and staff rushed to help\u201d after the fall.<\/p>\n

After the fall, the patrons were evacuated from the theater, and they were told that the evening\u2019s performance was canceled. An audience member explained that they believed that he was going to be okay in the long run. An insider told People <\/em><\/a>that he was \u201cfine\u201d following the spill. \u201cI really hope that he is going to be alright,\u201d they told the outlet. \u201cAs far as I saw, he was conscious because he was asking for assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The play is at the tail end of its 12-week run, after beginning the show in April. Following the on-stage accident, a spokesperson for the theater said that Ian was expected to make a \u201cspeedy and full recovery,\u201d and he was \u201cin good spirits,\u201d after the fall in a statement to\u00a0The Guardian<\/em>.<\/a> After the tumble, a number of audience members shared their well-wishes for him.<\/p>\n

Besides the theatrical production, Ian has at least one other definite project coming up. He\u2019s set to make a voice appearance in the upcoming film\u00a0Schadenfreude<\/em>, which is in post-production, according to his IMDb<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
