I was proposed by a friend the following hypothetical question:

If you were to die today, which 6 actors/actresses would you want to be your pallbearers?

And I am unsure if this classifies as morbid that I was able to answer without a moment hesitation.
-Kevin Spacey
-Russell Crowe
-Paul Newman
-Morgan Freeman
-Al Pacino
-Liam Neeson
All chosen for my great respect of their work and that they can easily accomplish that weary solemn look. The only one that I had some doubt was Spacey, as I was considering Bale as an alternative.

Pallbearers?

If I'm going to die today and had various individuals at my command, I would not want them to be pallbearers.

I would command a performance of Once More with Feeling from David Tennant (Spike), Angelina Jolie (Tara), Catherine Zeta Jones (Willow), Edward Norton (Giles), Billie Piper (Buffy), Neil Patrick Harris (Xander), Christina Applegate (Anya), Tom Waits (Singing demon), and Josephine Baker (Dawn).

Heck, I only need one -- Chuck Norris! Why would he need any help carrying a coffin?

It just seems like Keanu Reaves should be involved somehow. Probably because whenever I've seen him on screen he looks like he's the centerpiece of a funeral.

Alive is needed I believe Shawshank, yes. If that weren't the case Mr.Fonda and Mr.McQueen would be on that list very quickly.

I can't think of any reason I would want any movie star as a pallbearer at my funeral.

This is a very weird question. However:
Michael Clark Duncan. I doubt he needs any other help.

I think he choose movie stars due to their recognizability to the general public, someone who is well-known as to create a common ground for the hypothetical. With that one could include any person who is widely known: athletes, musicians, world leaders.

-The Olson Twins
-Calista Flockhart
-Nicole Richie
-Lindsey Lohan
-Courtney Love

First of all, they'll get some exercise to build much needed muscle mass, and then they can get a good meal at the wake.

Who were those twins that just got 19 Million for their baby pictures? I'd pick them.

Because they would have to be big enough to be pall bearers.

Which means I get to live until they are that old.
