Since moving to Park Slope, Sir Patrick Stewart has made it his business to be adorable 24/7, whether he was rubbing feet and giving acting lessons, trying pizza for the first time, bemoaning his Time Warner service, or soaking in a ball pit with his new wife. Recently, he's been in rehearsals with BFF Sir Ian McKellen (who officiated his wedding) for "No Man's Land" and "Waiting For Godot"—but the two took some time out today to pose in this classy photo with one of our beloved Times Square Elmos. Considering the look of concern on the face of the man behind them, we hope this didn't turn out to be an anti-Semitic Elmo.
