Pass It On: Ian McKellen Gave Some Gandalf-tastic Advice To Pre-exam Uni Students Everywhere

Earlier today our time Sir Ian McKellen paid a visit to Chew Valley School, a performing arts school in England with a very odd name, to talk about combating homophobia and bullying and praise the work done by the school’s Equalities Team. So we’re already operating off a very high Ian-McKellen-being-excellent baseline, which we usually are because Ian McKellen hs an extremely busy being-excellent schedule.

At Chew Valley School to talk to staff and students about gay issues. I learned about exceptional work they have done to eradicate bullying.

At one point during his talk McKellen noticed a crowd of students clustered outside a window trying to look in, so naturally he leaned out said window and went full Gandalf on them, delivering the greatest motivation to study anyone’s ever gotten.

Anyone who fails their next test at that school is beyond saving.
