Sir Christopher Lee was a direct descendant of Charlemagne.
And in part the inspiraton for James Bond!
He was the only person on the Lord of the Rings set who actually met Tolkien.
Sir Christopher Lee (Saruman) wasn't just an actor. He was a cousin of Ian Fleming and the real-life inspiration for James Bond.
Through his mother's noble Italian Carandini family, he traced his ancestry directly back to Charlemagne, the 8th-century Holy Roman Emperor, a lineage so distinguished that Emperor Frederick Barbarossa granted the family the right to bear the imperial coat of arms in the 12th century.
He even released a symphonic metal album, Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross, narrating his ancestor's saga.
During WWII, he worked with the Special Operations Executive (SOE).
Decades later, he met J.R.R. Tolkien in a pub in Oxford. Tolkien gave him his blessing to play Gandalf. Although he ended up playing Saruman, he read the books once a year for his entire life.
He lived the fantasy before he acted it.
