Sean Bean says ‘Maybe I should stop dying as much’ after perishing 25 times on screen

Sean Bean, the actor, has mentioned how frequently he gets bumped off in almost every significant role he plays on screen.

In what seems to be every role he has ever been cast in, he has passed away up to 25 times on screen. Additionally, Sean Bean’s frequent killings in movies, TV shows, and movies have caused memes and the hashtag #DontKillSeanBean on social media.

But actor Sean, 65, insists he doesn’t mind too much, at least at first anyway. He told Radio Times: “I was playing some great characters, juicy, nasty pieces of work, and I thought I’d rather play them and die than play a mundane character that lives.

However, with all the memes, I realized, “Maybe I should stop dying as much.” “

Memorable deaths for Sean on screen include in Lord of the Rings where he perished as Boromir by being shot by crossbow bolts, Game of Thrones where he was decapitated as Ned Stark, and James Bond film Goldeneye where he was dropped from an antenna to plunge to his end.

Sean is back on screen now in new drama This Is Our City, where hopefully he will last through the full eight parts on BBC1.

The gritty series, which takes place in the heart of Liverpool and depicts Ronnie Phelan as a formidable gang boss, stars Julie Graham as the mobster’s missus Elaine, James Nelson-Joyce as his mate Michael Kavanagh, Diana Williams as his other half, and Jack McMullen as Ronnie’s lad Jamie Phelan as his mate.

Finding Ronnie’s on-screen rage won’t be difficult, in Sean’s opinion. He continued, “I’ve never really seen it as a problem to act in anger or distress.” That’s something I’m used to. We’ve all seen people, whether they were friends or members of our families, start a six-penny or start screaming indignantly. It’s shocking and something you’ll always remember.

The proud Sheffield star has left London and spends the majority of his time in Somerset when not on set, which will surprise some fans.

He has been married five times, and he has three daughters. His wife Ashley Moore and he wed together in 2017; they are now together.

Really, it was accidental. I’ve been living in London since I was in drama school, and he said, “I just realized my girls have grown up, married, and were having kids.”

I thought, “I don’t know what I’m really here for.” Then Ashley came across this unusually small, quaint Somerset location, complete with lots of trees, water, and land. Nothing is present, just the sound of birds and a stillness, which I find to be very relaxing. It makes it easier for me to recharge my batteries and get rid of any leftovers from the last part.
