I feared the worst when I heard something about Sir Ian McKellen and a frail old woman, but luckily, all he does is lip-sync to her voice in this PSA for Age UK, a charity that helps elderly people who are lonely and living in poverty. Gandalf's only other ad work to date has been a voiceover for a Stephen King book (after appearing in the movie version of Apt Pupil) and a spot promoting tours of the Tower of London.
