10 Things you probably didn't know about Sean Bean

Sean Bean Insists He's Not In Game of Thrones Season 6 We know that Game of Thrones Season 6 will bring us flashbacks, most prominently a scene at the Tower of Joy that’s being filmed this week at the Castillo de Zafra in Spain. Since the scene at the Tower of Joy involves a young Ned Stark fighting alongside several of his companions against members of Aerys Targaryen’s kingsguard, some are hoping that Sean Bean will return to the show as Ned Stark, the role he played in Season 1 before he, y’know, got decapitated. I mean, sure, it would require Sean Bean to play a younger version of the character even though he’s gotten older, but that didn’t stop Orlando Bloom for playing a younger version of Legolas in the Hobbit movies, and those were set over 70 years before the events of The Lord of the Rings. It’s not happening, though, at least according to Bean himself, who was interviewed at the premiere of The Martian, the movie where Matt Damon plays an astronaut who’s been stranded on a hostile planet (again).

Sean Bean Early life[edit] Bean was born in Handsworth, a suburb of Sheffield, which was then part of West Riding of Yorkshire (the County of South Yorkshire was created in 1974). He is the son of Rita (née Tuckwood) and Brian Bean.[3] He has a younger sister named Lorraine. His father owned a fabrication shop which employed 50 people, including Bean's mother, who worked as a secretary. Despite becoming relatively wealthy (his father owned a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow), the family never moved away from the council estate as they preferred to remain close to friends and family.[4] As a child, Bean smashed a glass door during an argument, which left a piece of glass embedded in his leg that briefly impeded his walking and left a large scar.[3] This prevented him from pursuing his dream of playing football professionally. Career[edit] Bean starred in the first season of Game of Thrones, HBO's adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R.R. Image[edit] Acting style[edit] Personal life[edit]

It looks like Alex Turner's other band, The Last Shadow Puppets, are recording a new album Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner enjoyed success with his mate and fellow musician Miles Kane and producer James Ford when they released brilliant album 'The Age of the Understatement' as The Last Shadow Puppets in 2008. With Arctic Monkeys taking things easy since releasing 'A.M.' in 2013, it looks like Turner may have turned his attentions to that album's long-awaited follow-up. Speculation is rife since collaborator Owen Pallett - who arranged the strings for their debut - tweeted that he was working on a record that used the hashtag #tlsp2. The tweet has since been deleted but read 'That rare and thrilling moment when the record you're working on crosses the threshold into Classic Status #tlsp2" According to NME, neither Turner nor Pallett have responded to a request for comment.
