I have a friend from college who visited Britain every year, mostly so she could see Ian in plays at the National Theatre. It seems there was one play where he stripped down to next to nothing, Coriolanus, I think it was. And she couldn't stop talking about it. Of course, this was twenty years ago.

Frodo and Gandalf have stripped on-stage, we just have to wait for the rest of the Fellowship to do the same.

Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter) does the same in his current role in Equus - so I'm told.
I didn't know about Frodo though...
"Frodo thought for a moment. 'Well, Sam, what about elanor, the sun-star, you remember the little golden flower in the grass of Lothlorien?'"

I wonder if he was on something?
Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament... There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth, and more than that: Death: by the divine paradox, that which ends life, and demands the surrender of all, and yet by the taste (or foretaste) of which alone can what you seek in your earthly relationships (love, faithfulness, joy) be maintained, or take on that complexion of reality, of eternal endurance, which every man's heart desires.
--J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter #43, to his son Michael

So THAT'S what he was practicing for on the mountain-top after battling the Balrog!
Cool!

If Galadriel saw him naked, so can we.
I wish you could have been there
When she opened up the door
And looked me in the face
Like she never did before
I felt about as welcome

actually it's not at all unusual for Lear to be *almost* naked on stage...

In the storm scene Lear and Edgar are both often VERY scantily clad, which plenty of bottoms to be seen! "Full frontalism" (if I may coin a phrase) is pretty rare though - but it doesn't surprise me at all that Sir Ian would have no qualms about it!
I remember one production of Lear where the very lovely Linus Roache was Edgar - THOSE storm scenes were most enjoyable..
