跟进:Ian McKellen悼念Patrick Stewart:称他是自己所爱之人、当年曾劝他别接《星际迷航》

《星际迷航》与《X战警》男星 Patrick Stewart 10月28日在洛杉矶家中逝世、享年86岁之后,其半世纪老友、《X战警》中饰演万磁王的 Ian McKellen 本周四在 Instagram 发表长文悼念。
McKellen 写道,Stewart 首先是一个「在约克郡出生长大」的人,一生挚爱这片英格兰北部的故土:「从他带口音的嗓音、从他直言相告的严正诚实里都能听出来。约克郡人不搞半真半假、也不回避大事。他把心挂在袖子上,这让他成为一个可以依靠、值得敬佩的人——就我而言,是我所爱之人。」
两人早在半个世纪前便在皇家莎士比亚剧团以年轻演员身份相识。McKellen 回忆,自己当年得知 Stewart 收到《星际迷航》主角邀约时,曾劝他「想想你在英国的舞台事业」,问他是否真想冒「在好莱坞迷失许多年」的风险;Stewart 还是接了下来。McKellen 写道:「谢天谢地他接了——不只为了他的忠实 Trekkies,也为了电影与戏剧观众。」他称 Stewart 为「大西洋两岸同代演员中最受尊敬、最受爱戴的一位」,并说 Stewart 视自己在 Huddersfield 大学担任荣誉校长的任命为「最自豪的成就」。
两人的交情还有一层:2013年 Stewart 与歌手 Sunny Ozell 结婚时,正是由 McKellen 为他们主持婚礼。Stewart 在2023年出版的回忆录《Making It So》中也写过,McKellen 当年几乎是「用身体拦着」不让他签《星际迷航》的合约:「不行!你不能那么做。你有太多重要的戏剧工作,不能为了电视把它扔掉。」
漫威影业也发表悼念,称 Stewart 二十多年来以 X教授一角「为这个角色带来庄重与深度,赢得全球粉丝,并永远改变了超级英雄叙事」。在《X战警》系列中饰演金刚狼的 Hugh Jackman 称 Stewart 是「当今舞台与银幕的伟大演员之一」,并写道:「我从他身上学到了太多。我会想念你,Patrick Stewart,直到永远。」
Stewart 逝世时在妻子 Sunny Ozell 的照护中离世。他生前罹患阿尔茨海默病与路易体痴呆,病程短暂。

Ian McKellen Pays Tribute to Patrick Stewart: 'A Man to Love' Who Took the Star Trek Risk Anyway
Ian McKellen, who played Magneto opposite Patrick Stewart's Professor X in the X-Men films, paid tribute to his friend of half a century on Instagram on Thursday, after Stewart died at his Los Angeles home on Wednesday at the age of 86.
'Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end,' McKellen wrote. 'You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and, in my case, love.'
The two first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago. McKellen recalled learning that Stewart had been offered the leading part in Star Trek and urging him to 'think of your stage career in the UK,' asking whether he really wanted to risk 'getting lost in Hollywood for years and years.' Stewart took the risk anyway. 'Thank goodness for us all that he did,' McKellen wrote, calling Stewart 'the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic' and noting that Stewart considered his appointment as Emeritus Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield his 'proudest achievement.'
Their friendship ran deeper still: when Stewart married singer Sunny Ozell in 2013, McKellen performed the ceremony. In his 2023 memoir Making It So, Stewart revealed that McKellen had almost bodily prevented him from signing the Star Trek contract: 'No! No, you must not do that. You have too much important theater work to do. You can't throw that away to do TV.'
Marvel Studios also paid tribute, saying Stewart brought 'a gravitas and profundity' to Professor X for more than 25 years, 'earning fans across the globe and helping to transform Super Hero storytelling forever.' Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine opposite Stewart, called him 'one of the greats of stage and screen today,' adding: 'I learned so much from him. I will miss you, Patrick Stewart, all of my days.'
Stewart died in the loving care of his wife, Sunny Ozell, following a brief battle with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia.
