Save the Golden Lion! Actor Sean Bean joins campaign to protect traditional pub on Royal College Street (CAMDEN NEW JOURNAL) Published: 14 June, 2012 by TOM FOOT

ACTOR Sean Bean has joined the campaign to save one of Camden Town’s last traditional watering holes.

The man who played Boromir in The Lord of Rings and starred in the Sharpe TV series dropped in to the Golden Lion in Royal College Street on Thursday and signed a petition against the bar’s closure.

The Golden Lion is considered one of the last outposts of traditional pub life in Camden, having resisted the pressure to ‘go gastro’ or to show big-screen sports.

It is at risk of closure after developers snapped up the historic building’s freehold.

Jimmy Cantwell, who snapped Mr Bean on his mobile phone, said: “I just happened to be there.

"He’d come in looking for a pool table. We played pool and he had a few jars with some of the guys. We asked if he wouldn’t mind us taking a pic and he said he’d be happy to join the campaign.”

When Sean Bean rolled up to talk to us at the Mirror, Mirror premiere recently, it was all we could do to keep from shouting “GAME OF THRONEZZZ OMG!” Yes, the show is that amazing, thanks in large part to Bean’s portrayal of Ned Stark. (His role in Mirror, Mirror is kind of blink-and-you-miss it, but pivotal and classic Sean Bean nonetheless.) We asked the British actor for his thoughts on another niche show with a mega-following, Downton Abbey. He surprised us by not being as big a fan as, well, the entire Internet seems to be. “I’ve kind of seen it all before,” he said when asked if he was into the show. “I might sound a bit flip, but I don’t think it’s representative of what the English are, of what the English were.

Many TV movies on this theme followed leaving swooning female fans in his wake. - GoldenEye
