They're famous for portraying mortal enemies Magneto and Professor X in the highly popuar X-Men film franchise, but off-screen they met long before that, in the 1970s. These days, it'd be an understatement to call Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart just best friends.

The two veteran actors spoke to 60 Minutes for a segment about their long-standing friendship, where McKellen reveals he officiated Stewart's wedding, and that their bond defies their roots, as Stewart is a "Yorkshire man," whom Lancashire men like Ian usually dislike. It's all very charming and bromantic. Read more on the decades-spanning friendship and watch clips from their interview with Lesley Stahl here.
