Christopher Lee Wanted to Play Gandalf 😲✨

Описание: In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), Christopher Lee brilliantly portrayed Saruman, the fallen wizard. However, the actor originally dreamed of playing Gandalf and even received J.R.R. Tolkien’s personal blessing years before the films began production. Sadly, by the time filming started, he was considered too old for the demanding role, and the part went to Ian McKellen. Still, Lee’s performance as Saruman became unforgettable and iconic.
