Today I will talk about an actor who is known for a special reason. Now, you will probably ask me which is it. This reason is that he dies always before the end. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am glad to introduce you today's subject: Sean Bean!
Let's stop kidding ourselves, I will set the tone: this guy died more than 25 times in his movies. Of course, he's not really dying, I'm talking about the characters he plays. In fact, he dies so often that it became hard to find articles up to date about the number of times he died. For those who don't know Sean, it is the guy who played Boromir in The Lord of the Rings (2002) or Eddard Stark in Game of Thrones.

| Sean Bean |
I will spare you the whole wikipedia crap, all you have to know is that he died too much times in his movies. No, seriously, Sean Bean is a guy who was born in 1959 in Sheffield, England. He's career is classic: Sean starred in some low ambitious movies in his beginnings till he got some bigger roles in blockbusters. Now, he's known as a good actor who plays different types of roles.
He is popularly known for playing characters dying during the movie. Since few years, it became funny to talk about him as the guy who gets killed every time. So he became a sort of mascot in the cinematic culture. As example, you can find many sorts of jokes about him on the web.

On top of that, a web site has been created (http://dontkillseanbean.com) which is dedicated to the ending of Sean's character on television and movies. Nowadays, he's called the "two legged spoiler" because he's appearance on the screen means almost officially that he will die. I personnaly love Sean Bean.
Let's laugh a bit, the best things for the end. Here's for you a video which shows the scenes shot till 2012 where he dies.
Hi Xavier!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t really know something about Sean Bean before reading this article, excepting the fact he played Boromir in the Lord of the Rings. I think it’s really funny that some fans created a website dedicated to his ending, and I saw that some death don’t appear in your video, which means that he continues to die in new movies shot between 2012 and 2014!
But can you tell me, in which movies is he playing, excepting the Lord of the Ring and Games of Thrones?
To speak about the video, I was really amused by the death at 2:20, with the cows. I found this one ridiculous and so hilarious at the same time!
