The veteran actor confirmed that he "dropped in" while the band were recording the promo for new single 'Falling Out Of Reach' after being taken to one of their concerts by a relative.
McKellen told Sky News: "A young relative of mine, who's a fan of the Guillemots, took me along to a concert of theirs in London and I really took to them, I really liked the music.
"I heard about this video for the new song, which I really like, and I happen to have nothing better to do. And it's quite near home, so I dropped in, and here I am."
The actor guested in a music video once before, starring as a vampire in Pet Shop Boys' 'Heart' promo.
'Falling Out of Reach' is taken from Guillemots' new album Red and will be released in May.
