Bonus! Fun backstage stories from Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi
🕑 Added 2025-04-13 20:01:36 +0000 UTCHello there!
I'm chugging away on multiple videos for you right now -- one about Roy Cohn and Angels in America; and another about the 2013 British sitcom Vicious. For this week's bonus video, I've got some fun backstage stories from the stars of Vicious, the always-iconic Sir Ian and Sir Derek, regarding their youthful hairstyles and run-ins with various other queer creatives. Was Noël Coward making a pass at Derek, or just being really fucking weird?
Also, an important question: When I say the name of the actor Iwan Rheon, how hard should I try to match the Welsh pronunciation???

I know!!! There was a great project awhile back that dramatized conversations between Andy Warhol & Truman Capote, and I would love to see something similar with Noel & Ian.

Noel Coward seems to have been a real character. I find it so funny that he was friends (or at least on friendly neighbour terms) with Ian Fleming. Imagine those dinner parties.

Really enjoyed the video. Also it would be so incredible if you did a James Whale video!
