I'm not a big fan of Godot. It's be better if they did something like King Lear, playing say Lear and Kent.

I was just thinking “What a waste of good actors!” when I saw the headline.
Patrick Stewart has done “King Lear” for TV. I’ve been meaning to look for it at the library.

"...how they bonded in a Hollywood trailer..."
Considering that McKellen is a galactic-class 'mo, I'm not sure we want to know the details.

Nah, their best work together was as gay ex-lovers Magneto and Professor Xavier in the X-Men movies.
I googled “Waiting for Godot,” I’d rather have nails pounded into my hands and feet than sit through it.

Stewart did a western version of King Lear, called King of Texas based on the famous King Ranch on the Mexican Border, that was truly awful. and Moby Dick with Stewart as Ahab was OK, but I liked Peck's Ahab better....
I do like Stewards stuff in general. He did a great Sejanus in I Claudius. I liked his Capt. Picard.
I hate Godot.
McKellan is a bone smuggler....I hear Steward is not.

McKellen once asked Stewart if he could see his Picard....
...it was an uncomfortable gay moment

Who says gays are more fashion-savvy?

Looks like McKellen shaved for the part.
