Veteran actor SIR IAN McKELLEN likes being famous - because it’s a convenient ice-breaker at parties.
The LORD OF THE RINGS star used to dread having to make small talk at social gatherings.
He says, "You know, what I like most about being famous is that after a lifetime of going into a room and almost sweating and wondering how long I can stand it and not enjoying parties - now if I go into a room with strangers, actually I’m not a stranger anymore.
"It’s a point of reference which means you don’t have to talk about the weather and you can very quickly get off talking about yourself. It breaks the ice."
