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]

Biography Born: 17 April 1959Where: Sheffield, EnglandAwards: No Major AwardsHeight: 5' 11" The second from left, top row is Sean. One of the strangest and most frightening things we can do is stop and consider how we got where we are. How far our lives are from what we expected, and from what was expected for us. Imagine what it must be like for Sean Bean. How did this confused Sheffield welder, a tattooed tough nut from the football terraces, become one of the most sought-after narrators in the land, a stalwart of period dramas and, for God's sake, even a super-sophisticated adversary of James Bond? He was born Shaun Mark Bean on the 17th of April, 1959, in Sheffield. For a while after the accident, Sean couldn't walk properly - a very bad thing as all he wanted was to play football for his local heroes Sheffield United (not that having one leg necessarily disqualifies you from their First Team, you understand). Sometimes there would be trouble. 1983 saw Sean on his way. With Melanie Hill.

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.

The Compleat Sean Bean 10 Things you probably didn't know about Sean Bean From 1998 to 2008 Sean Bean played Napoleonic soldier Richard Sharpe in 16 episodes of the television series Sharpe, based on Bernard Cornwell’s best-selling novels. Now, in the two part HISTORY series, Sean Bean on Waterloo, the actor draws on actual eye-witness accounts of soldiers who fought in the battle to tell the story of the dramatic events of 18 June 1815. While Sean is busy providing us with gripping information about Waterloo, perhaps we should take a moment to familiarise ourselves with some interesting little known facts about the man himself. 10.

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. Compared to that, the time jump on Game of Thrones is child’s play. I applaud the interviewer for getting sneaky with his phrasing.
