SEAN BEAN EVEN DIES WHEN HE CHECKS HIS EMAIL IN THIS FUNNY OR DIE VIDEO

FAST COMPANY



Sean Bean's most famous onscreen death is when Ned Stark meets the business end of an executioner's sword in the first season of Game Of Thrones, but it's far from the only time that he's met a grisly end on screen. As Boromir in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, he goes down valiantly defending his little hobbit homies after not one, not two, but three Uruk-hai arrows make their way into his meaty parts. The "Sean Bean death reel" supercut collecting his various death scenes from 21 different films doesn't even contain them all.

The awareness of Sean Bean's tendency to die onscreen is a big part of the marketing campaign for TNT's new FBI drama Legends, in which Bean stars as an undercover agent who questions his own sanity after an encounter with a mysterious stranger. Building a campaign around a #DontKillSeanBean hashtag is perhaps a surprisingly meta and vaguely campy way to promote a heavy-sounding show that deals with dark themes, but it is considerate of the network to take into account that Bean's fans are conditioned to expect him to meet a gruesome end pretty much every time he shows up on their screen, and to mitigate those concerns.

Sean Bean in live BBC cock-up (THE SUN)

SEAN Bean caused red faces on the One Show last night after declaring he'd had his whole body waxed – except his "c***".

The straight-talking Yorkshireman, who plays a transvestite in new telly drama Accused, was telling hosts Matt Baker and Alex Jones how he prepared for the part dressing up as a woman.

Speaking live on BBC1 at 7.20pm, he joked: "There's certainly a lot to do, isn't there?

"I had a full body wax. Well, almost...they didn't do me c***!"

Gobsmacked Matt and Alex quickly changed the subject, and a spokesman for the Beeb later apologised for the remark.

Sean, 53, made his name on hit ITV drama series Sharpe and has since gone on to star in a string of Hollywood movies, including Lord of the Rings and GoldenEye.

Sean Bean Signs On To Star In The Devil's Peak Trilogy published: 2012-05-08 20:27:02 Author: Jesse Carp

 Sean Bean is a wonderful actor and even though he's tough enough in real life to shake off a stabbing and have another pint, his characters seem to have a tough time making it out of the given project alive. In fact, it's hard to think of a major film or television series in which Bean didn't suffer some untimely end a la (SPOILERS) GoldenEye's 006, Lord of the Rings' Boromir, or, even more recently, Missing's Paul Winstone. Obviously, this is an exaggeration but it is still nice to see him land a project that seems to offer him a character with some stability.

Well, stability in respect to 'staying alive' anyway since the actor has just signed on for the lead role in the first book in Deon Meyer's "Devil's Peak Trilogy." Variety reports that Bean will star as Detective Benny Griessel in the cinematic adaptation of the book series that starts with Devil's Peak. Griessel is a recovering alcoholic who is trying to win back the trust of his family as well as solve the case of a vigilante killer with a rapidly rising body count. And I don't want to jump to any conclusions but since this is the first of a planned trilogy (the followup novels include Meyer's "13 Hours" and "7 Days") the actor might finally make it out of this one alive! Who am I kidding, he's probably doomed.

Exclusive Interview: Missing (ABC) Sean Bean Talks Character Return, Upcoming Episodes and Popeye (Yes, The Sailorman) By Americ Ngwije | April 11, 2012 | (TV EQUALS)

When the ABC series Missing premiered a few weeks ago, it opened with Sean Bean’s character Paul Winstone being blown to bits in a car explosion.

It turns out that the news of his demise were greatly exaggerated as he apparently was alive and well in the last scene of last week’s Missing episode “Tell Me No Lies”. TV Equals had the opportunity to chat with the supremely talented Sean Bean about the return of his supposedly deceased character, what impact this will have on Becca (Ashley Judd) and what fictional character he would like to rescue him if he was missing.

Check out what he had to say below and don’t miss the upcoming episode of Missing titled “The Three Bears” which airs tomorrow Thursday April 12 at 8 pm on ABC. (For more information, check out the Missing official site.)

Paul is back. That’s a twist.

 Sean Bean: Yeah. I’m glad he is, as well, because I did a few interviews and I had to explain why I was only in one episode, like, ‘There’s flashbacks and this and that,’ but he’s back in present time as it were and also in flashback on occasions.
