McKellen says fat suit saved him when he fell
Briefly

"I was wearing a fat suit for Falstaff and that saved my ribs and other joints... I've had a lucky escape really but tell Saga readers to watch their step!"
"It was in the battle scene. My foot got caught in a chair, and trying to shake it off I started to slide on some newspaper that was scattered over the stage, like I was on a skateboard."
"I started screaming 'help me!' and then 'I'm sorry! I don't do this!' Extraordinary things. I thought it was the end of something. It was very upsetting."
"I've got agonising pains in my shoulders to do with my whole frame having been jolted... I was taking it easy since the fall, staying home a lot more because I was nervous."
