Jake Shears has a crush on Ian McKellen
The Scissor Sisters star admits he has a strong admiration for the 'super-sexy' screen veteran who recorded a monologue for the bands single 'Invisible Light - and hopes he will look as 'gorgeous' as him when he is older.
Discussing the 71-year-old star, he said: 'Oh my God, hes one of the hottest men alive. I think Ian McKellen is super-sexy. Id hope that when Im his age I would look somewhere near as good as him at his age because he is gorgeous. He was cracking up through it. There was a lot of pretty funny s**t that was cut. He loved it and was really, really sweet. Im really proud to have him be a Scissor Sister.'
Despite his celebrity status, Jake, 31, admits his friends think he is a 'total square'.
He explained to Attitude magazine: 'A lot of my friends have seen me assimilate into a mainstream lifestyle. To a lot of my friends, Im a total square.
'I think gays are totally different creatures. Were different animals. We all know that. Theres no two ways about it. I think were a different bunch. It doesnt really apply, almost. That man/women union doesnt apply. Its a very different combination of things.'
