South African director Brett Best who is responsible for the Miracle Rising: South Africa documentary and The Biggest Loser South Africa series, enlisted the help of UK actor Ian McKellen when he proposed to his boyfriend in a video clip.
Best’s boyfriend Khalid Shawwa is a big fan of the Star Trek series and Best was hoping to get Patrick Stewart, who plays Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation to feature in the home-made video. However, as Stewart was not available, his close friend McKellen was able to fill in.
