Veteran gay UK actor Sir Ian McKellen says he rips out a certain page from the Bible in each hotel he says in - and now some of his fans are doing the same. Wicked wizard: Sir Ian McKellen Leviticus 18:22 says 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind - it is an abomination'. Sir Ian tears the page out, he told Details magazine: "I'm not proudly defacing the book, but it's a choice between removing that page and throwing away the whole Bible." Now it seems his fans are doing the same. "I got delivered a package of 40 of those pages that had been torn out by a married couple I know. They put them on a bit of string so that I could hang it up in the bathroom," he laughs. Sir Ian McKellen's full interview with Details magazine is here.
