Indo-Asian News Service London, Nov 17 (IANS) Ian McKellen, the lead actor of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, revealed he would like pop star Justin Timberlake to portray him in a movie on his life. If there was a musical based on his life, McKellen thinks Timberlake would be perfect for the role saying, "Justin vaguely resembles people in my family, and I think he is really talented," contactmusic.com quoted him as saying. McKellen is gay and actively involved in gay rights group Stonewall. He, however, is upset with current attitudes towards homosexuality. When asked about the success of "Brokeback Mountain", he said: "I got very upset when one of the actors (Jake Gyllenhaal) said it was the most terrifying job he'd ever had because it involved him kissing another man. Imagine how rude that is. Suppose I'd said the most appalling thing I ever had to do was kiss Helen Mirren ."
