Ian McKellen, considered by many one of the greatest actors of his generation, is currently starring with his bestie Patrick Stewart on Broadway in The Seagull. The acclaimed thespi took a night off from Chekhov, when he was placed in the hot-seat last night appearing with former Lord of the Rings co-star Orlando Bloom on Watch What Happens Live. During a round of the popular game Plead the Fifth, host Andy Cohen asked McKellen a question he’s likely never before been asked:

Marry/Shag/Kill:

Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, and Dame Hellen Mirren.

It took him a moment to think this one through. Brow somewhat furrowed he responded matter-of-factly, “In that order.”

Marry: Dench, Shag: Smith, Kill: Mirren.

And there you have it.
