The meme template is called something like “Gandalf no longer confused” and it is a legit screencap (edit: this is wrong, see replies). Not sure of the specific scene this is from because it’s been a little while since I’ve seen the movies, though.
Bullshit it is. It’s based on a real screencap, but those are not the teeth of the great Sir Ian Mckellen. And if he was actually smiling, he would be smiling warmly, none of this weird AI forgot to fo the eyes when prompted to make an image smile.
My bad, I saw it posted a number of times on serious LOTR forums, where I’d assumed they would be using edited images. Way before gen AI, in fact. Good old-fashioned Photoshop fooled me, I guess.
Oh right yeah it being photoshop makes more sense.
A bit of liquify on the corners of the mouth and add a set of nice white teeth. I was a bit unsure at first but I have the extended edition on my hd as I was gonna watch the trilogy for the first time in years. So I quickly just browsed through that scene. And imo the only framing that fits is that “I have no memory of this place” as when Gandalf just sits there pondering he doesn’t have his hat on, and then when he realises the smell and gets a bit happier, there’s no further closeup.
So a very understandable mistake to make and I could’ve bought it had I not had reference so easily available.
Edit Cover his mouth with something and you’ll see how “odd” the eyes are, that was the giveaway to me. It doesn’t feel like he’s smiling if you do that. And Sir Ian os definitely able to smile with his eyes on command, that I know for sure.

Is this photoshopped, or did Gandalf really smile like that during this scene?
