Ian McKellen reassured fans that his role of Falstaff is in good hands as he continues to recover from a fall that left him hospitalized for three nights.
The 85-year-old actor lost his footing during a battle scene in his West End production of “Player Kings” Monday and fell off the front of the stage, crying out for help and alerting audience members that the fall was not for dramatics. Two doctors in attendance of the London production provided aid for a fractured wrist.
“After three nights in hospital, the effects of my fall onstage have been fully analysed and I’m now having physiotherapy, light exercise and a lot of essential rest at home,” McKellen said in a Thursday statement.
