However, this has since been considered to be a simple misunderstanding. In a correspondence that appears online, McKellen denies this:

McKellen says it was his idea!
But even if it was McKellen’s idea, it probably wasn’t initially scripted. It’s still an interesting look into the filming process, huh?
