Gandalf has never looked so good.

He even looks like he might not yet be able to control metal yet either. A very YOUNG Ian McKellen. Very cool. Original link.

Nice photo, for a second I though they were casting a young Gandalf for the new Hobbit movies, looks like it could have been taken today.

Ian McKellen was born in 1939. So, if this is him, this picture would be from the mid-50′s. I would be really surprised if this photo is that old.

Looks kinda like a non-redheaded Rick Astley.
And holy crap, this picture has no signs of aging that I can see.

I wasn’t sure it was really him, so I had to investigate! Apparently it’s from 1970, posted on http://www.mckellen.com

But all this time I though Hunter Davis was the young Ian McKellen.
