Michael Palin of the British comedy troupe Monty Python revealed Wednesday that he has made some end-of-life arrangements. “I do think about death, and the family are rather wonderful about it: ‘Have you made a will? Can I be in your will?’” he said on the podcast On the Marie Curie Couch. “I’ve made my will and all that. My family, my children, know where to find what they need to find should I die.” The writer and comedic actor, who lost wife Helen Gibbins two years ago, added that he has given all his passwords to his three children “in case I get run over by a bus.” Palin explained: “However fit you are, anything might happen. But I don’t dwell on mortality. I dwell on life.” He said he’s still staying active and engaged in work, while acknowledging that at 82, he’s older than any male relative in the last 200 years. Palin, who had heart surgery in 2019 to repair his mitral valve, said that experience also made him more aware of his body. “That saved my life, really,” he said. “And so I’ve been through that, which I think is quite important - to know that your body is vulnerable. And the older you get, the more vulnerable it is.”
