Sir Ian McKellen (http://pagesix.com/2016/08/21/gandalf-turned-down-1-5m-to-officiate-sean-parkers-wedding/), best k**wn for playing Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings, was offered $1.5 million to officiate Sean Parker's wedding as the wizard, The Daily Mail (http://pagesix.com/2016/08/21/gandalf-turned-down-1-5m-to-officiate-sean-parkers-wedding/) reports. Parker, a billionaire who founded Napster and was Facebook's first president, first made the offer three years ago. *
