Legendary actor Ian McKellen has admitted that he is finding it harder to remember his lines.
McKellen, who plays an elderly Sherlock Holmes in his new film, told Radio Times that learning lines was easier for him when he was young.
The 76-year-old revealed that is discovering he has ‘limitations’ when it comes to his memory these days.
He said: ‘We all have limitations, don’t we, however old we are. But there are times in life when the memory really does get worse and the mind doesn’t work as it should.
‘And if you were to get to the stage where you couldn’t remember anything at all, well, that would be very distressing. Fortunately, I’m not there yet.
