Patrick Stewart morto a 86 anni: da Picard al Professor X, chi era e quali film ha fatto

30 October 2026 at 07:41

Patrick Stewart è morto a 86 anni nella sua casa di Los Angeles, circondato dalla moglie Sunny Ozell, dai familiari e dagli amici. L’attore britannico, protagonista di Star Trek e della saga degli X-Men, aveva affrontato negli ultimi anni l’Alzheimer. La famiglia ha annunciato la morte il 29 ottobre.

Patrick Stewart: da Shakespeare al capitano Picard

Patrick Stewart era nato il 13 luglio 1940 a Mirfield, nello Yorkshire. Prima della fama televisiva aveva costruito una lunga carriera nel teatro britannico. Dopo la formazione alla Bristol Old Vic Theatre School entrò nella Royal Shakespeare Company, dove rimase per circa 14 anni interpretando numerosi personaggi del repertorio classico.

La svolta internazionale arrivò nel 1987, quando ottenne il ruolo del capitano Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Interpretò Picard per 178 episodi fino al 1994 e tornò successivamente nel personaggio nei film Star Trek: Generations, Primo contatto, L’insurrezione e La nemesi. Decenni più tardi tornò ancora una volta nell’universo di Star Trek con la serie Star Trek: Picard.

Patrick Stewart e il professor Xavier negli X-Men

Per un’altra generazione Stewart è soprattutto Charles Xavier, il Professor X. Il debutto avvenne con X-Men nel 2000. Tornò nel ruolo in X-Men 2, X-Men: Conflitto finale, X-Men – Giorni di un futuro passato e Logan, oltre ad altre apparizioni legate all’universo Marvel.

Il rapporto sullo schermo con Ian McKellen, interprete di Magneto e suo grande amico anche nella vita, diventò uno degli elementi più riconoscibili della saga. Stewart riprese ancora una versione di Xavier in Doctor Strange nel Multiverso della Follia.

Patrick Stewart: da Dune a Robin Hood

La carriera cinematografica era però molto più ampia. Nel 1981 partecipò a Excalibur di John Boorman. Nel Dune di David Lynch del 1984 interpretò Gurney Halleck. Nel 1993 apparve invece nella commedia Robin Hood – Un uomo in calzamaglia di Mel Brooks, interpretando Re Riccardo.

La sua attività teatrale non si interruppe con la fama hollywoodiana. Nel West End e a Broadway fu protagonista, insieme a Ian McKellen, anche di Aspettando Godot di Samuel Beckett.
