Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen Are About as Good at The Newlywed Game as Actual Newlyweds

The adorable pair answers questions like “What is a food Patrick couldn’t live without?” and “What is Ian’s spirit animal?”

In one last hurrah following the closing of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen's Two Plays in Rep, the inseparable sirs jumped on the opportunity to play The Newlywed Game. For the uninitiated, the game involves two newlyweds (or British gents who have mastered the art of friendship) both answering the same question (e.g. What is So-and-So's go-to karaoke song?) and then comparing results. As it turns out, Stewart and McKellen know just about as little useless knowledge about each other as a typical pair of newlyweds. But watching them explain their different answers is almost painfully adorable.
