Headline: Ian McKellen told Patrick Stewart not to accept Star Trek role
Caption: Stewart, 83, made the revelation about his longtime friend and X-Men colleague in his new memoir, Making It So, reported Variety. "When I told him I was going to sign the contract, he almost bodily prevented me from doing so," the Logan actor wrote. "'No!' he said. 'No, you must not do that. You must not. You have too much important theater work to do. You can't throw that away to do TV. You can't. No!'" Stewart continued, "There are few people, particularly with regard to acting, whose counsel I trust more than Ian's."
