Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have one of the most well-known bromances in Hollywood, and it has been that way pretty much since they first became close some 20 years ago, ironically playing adversaries.
Stewart recently discussed his close bond with McKellen while appearing on Wired's popular YouTube series, Web's Most Searched Questions.
The Star Trek and X-Men actor explains that the two never got close until they worked together on 2000's X-Men, in which Stewart plays Professor Charles Xavier, aka Professor X, and McKellen plays Erik Lehnsherr, aka Magneto.
"We had adjoining trailers," Stewart began. "On those kind of movies, you spend more time sitting in your trailer than you do in front of the camera. So, Ian and I hung out together, drinking tea — and maybe in the afternoon, something a little stronger — and we got to know one another."
