'YOU MUSTN'T UPSTAGE THE BRIDE'
McKellen also dished on the show that he isn't new to officiating.
"I've done it once before with two guys having a civil partnership," he told the talk show host. "I was crying my eyes out."
And when asked what his sartorial plans were for the big day, McKellen said that the last time he donned a "sort of gown, white...something I bought in India."
"You mustn't upstage the bride," he quipped.
Countered Ross, "How can you not upstage [the bride] if you're floating in like some sort of cherub?"
Stewart has been romantically linked to Ozell since 2009. The pair met while the actor was performing in a production of Macbeth at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, according to the New York Times.
The wedding date was not announced. This will be the third marriage for Stewart.

McKellen and Stewart are set to reprise their superhero roles as Professor X and Magneto in director Bryan Singer's upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is due to be released in July 2014.
NOTABLE NUGGETS
And finally...
* Love is in the air? Rumour has it one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors, Bradley Cooper, is officially off the market. The Silver Linings Playbook star, 38, was spotted with Suki Waterhouse, a 20-year-old British model, in Boston on Monday, according to Us Weekly.
The pair was first linked after they were spied together in London on February 12, when they hopped into a limo together after exiting the Elle Style Awards.
"It's new but they're hanging out," a source dished to Us Weekly. "He's really into her."
Cooper, who is in town to shoot the yet-to-be-titled film directed by David O. Russell, has been single since splitting from actress Zoe Saldana late last year.
A rep for the actor declined to comment on the rumoured romance.
* And it's splitsville for pop music powerhouse couple Katy Perry and John Mayer - they've reportedly called it quits again, People reports.
Perry and Mayer began dating shortly after her divorce from Russell Brand was finalised in February 2012. They quietly split in August, before reuniting a few weeks later.
"It's sad," a source told Us Weekly, while noting that the split might not be permanent.
"It's not over until it's over. You have to see how things play out." Adds another source, "She's leaving the window open. They have both been so focused on work."
In February, Mayer said of dating Perry: "I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship. For the first time in my life, I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship, I really don't.
"I'm not in a high-profile - I know it's high-profile, it's hard to explain. It doesn't feel that way to me - and great."
