A young man went out on the town recently to celebrate his 22nd birthday, and as part of a celebration with his friends, they decided to dress up as Lord of the Rings characters. Ben Coyles chose Gandalf. As it happens, the birthday boy’s night took a turn for the incredible.
Coyles and his friends, dressed as Lord of the Rings characters, went out for a pub crawl in Bristol, UK. As part of their fateful night between pubs, Coyles encountered Ian McKellen–who famously played Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Coyles, wearing a wizard’s hat and wielding his own wizard staff, had a nice encounter with McKellen, as you can see in the video below. Coyles appears to be in total shock when posing for a picture with McKellen, and who could blame him. What a night it must have been.
