Yeah, gandalf's been on Middle Earth for 300 lives of men, so at least 15k, plus lots of time in Valinor and uncountable eons before middle earth was founded.

Didn't Gandalf arrive in Middle earth towards the end of the second age? That would make him only a few thousand middle-earth years old.

I just took the 300 lives of men quote from the movie. Maybe he's talking generations rather than full lifetimes?

Isn’t Gandalf like 50,000 years old?
