WATCH: Ian McKellen reciting the lyrics to Bad Blood and Uptown Funk is truly incredible
They get a dramatic makeover
Acting legend Sir Ian McKellen has given Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’ and Mark Ronson’s ‘Uptown Funk’ a unique makeover.
The Lord of the Rings actor drew on his decades of theatrical experience to read out the lyrics to the international chart anthems in dramatic style.
Nothing short of a tour-de-force, you can watch Sir Ian’s recital in all its glory right here:
A huge music fan, Sir Ian starred as a vampire Pet Shop Boys’ music video for ‘Heart’ back in 1988 and last year lip-synced along in George Ezra’s inspired ‘Listen to the Man’ video.
Sir Ian also appeared on Scissor Sisters’ 2010 track ‘Invisible Light’ reciting a passage in the song.
