McKellen to share an on-screen kiss with star of The Office
Ricky Gervais, who stars as struggling actor Andy Millman in the sitcom Extras, will share an onscreen kiss with Sir Ian McKellen in the new series of the award-winning series, according to The Sun newspaper.
McKellen is just one of the real-life acting superstars Gervais and his writing partner Stephen Merchant have attracted to work on the comedy's second season, which will also star Orlando Bloom and Harry Potter lead Daniel Radcliffe.
Stephen Fry, Ronnie Corbett and The Avengers actress Diana Rigg have also signed up to appear, along with musicians David Bowie and Chris Martin and Australian academic Germaine Greer.
Celebrities have reportedly lined up to star in Extras following the sitcom's successful first series, which guest starred Ben Stiller, Samuel L. Jackson and Kate Winslet. Madonna personally asked Gervais if she could star, but had to pull out because filming clashed with her world tour schedule.
The first season of Extras is slated to premiere on ABC TV later this year
I don't even know where to start on why this is the greatest news ever. *Starts a countdown to the second season of Extras on Netflix*
