The decorated English actor's probably best known for his role as Gandalf in The Lord of the Ringsand The Hobbit. But he's also a committed activist for the LGBTQ community, having been openly gay since 1988. He showed up to Liverpool University on Friday to give a talk on LGBTQ rights, as The Tabreports.
He spoke about sexuality and gender labels, discussing the importance of coming out. For him, that moment in his life was so important, he said he would like his gravestone to read: "Here lies Gandalf, I came out."
Then, at some point, he decided to have a little snack, a "jacket potato" as the Brits call it, or basically just a baked potato.
And if you believe the tweets, quite a few people stopped to sit and watch him eat that much-discussed potato.
