Contemplating The Wizard Gandalf's Sexual Relations

Don't get me wrong, I love Ian McKellen, but I always imagine everything he says being said through a drunken stupor. I guess it's that old British actor thing - I just imagine them all always drunk. Anyway, this is old drunk gay Ian McKellen talking about the occasional fan calling him Dumbledore (via):

"They often say, "Hi, Dumbledore,' and I say, 'No, no, that's Mike Gambon. I play the real wizard — the best wizard.' Of course, there's a confusion because Ms. Rowling has announced that Dumbledore is gay, hasn't she? So maybe that's the confusion. Whether Gandalf was gay is another matter. His wife is never mentioned, and he's 7,000 years old. He must have had some experience with sex."

I always suspected that Gandalf was covering something up when he retold the story of what went on between him and the Balrog as they plummeted down that long, deep cavern. It's like throwing a Balrog down a hallway!
