That's Doctor Sir Ian McKellen to You

Magneto adds another noble prefix to his name.

Even without his Waiting for Godot/No Man's Land/X-Men costar Patrick Stewart, nothing can stop Twitter maven Ian McKellen from blowing up the Internet with a new selfie. This time, he commemorates a particularly auspicious occasion at the University of Cambridge where he was just named an honorary Doctor of Letters. It seems he's traded in the bowler hat for something a little more conservative in his latest photo, which he captions: "I'm now honorary Doctor of Letters at #Cambridge. My old college St Catharine's celebrated by flying the rainbow flag."
