Well, he played Richard III on the big screen as an aging Nazi pederast.
He followed that up by playing... an aging Nazi pederast in Apt Pupil. And director Bryan Singer got into hot water (and not just literally) for allegedly doing inappropriate things with underage boys (not for the last time).
He then went on to play Magneto in the X-Men as a quasi-Nazi pederast*, before going on to play Gandalf as a sort of Middle-earth version of Magneto.
And so it shouldn't really have come as much of a surprise when one learnt that Sir Ian McKellen was going to give us his Sherlock Holmes as... guess what!
*Pace David Bowie, doesn't all that stuff about homo superior put one more in mind of a gay gym near Soho.
