Owen Jones meets Sir Ian McKellen | 'No one regrets being honest about their sexuality'

Sir Ian McKellen has starred in countless William Shakespeare plays, he's taken roles as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings series and Magneto in the X-Men series. But he's also a prominent gay and LGBT rights campaigner, who helped to found Stonewall. I went to meet him to discuss coming out, sexuality and his activism as well as his friendship with Sir Patrick Stewart, his new Shakespeare app and his love of the theatre.
