Reports indicate that actor Sean Bean, famous for his roles in “Game of Thrones” and “The Lord of the Rings,” was forcibly removed from a bar in Liverpool. Allegedly, Bean was asked to leave the Tom Thumb pub on Friday evening for vaping indoors.
The 65-year-old actor, currently in Liverpool filming a BBC drama, was reportedly manhandled by security staff and removed from the premises. A video released to the press appears to show a security officer gripping Bean by the neck as he is escorted from his seat.
This isn’t Sean Bean’s first altercation at a pub; he was previously stabbed in Camden after a dispute over a glamour model. According to a MailOnline witness, Bean recently ignored staff requests to stop vaping indoors at the Tom Thumb pub in Liverpool. Initially, it seemed a bouncer approached Bean for a photo, but he was actually asking Bean to stop vaping.
The witness described Bean as uncooperative, stating, “Sean insisted on doing as he pleased, which was quite troublesome. The security staff were simply enforcing the rules as they would with anyone else.”
Bean reportedly resumed vaping upon re-entering the pub and refused to leave when asked, stubbornly holding onto his chair. The witness expressed shock at the ensuing scuffle. In 2012, Bean was allegedly stabbed in the arm while defending his girlfriend, April Summers, from offensive remarks made by a passerby outside a Camden pub.
Despite his injuries, Bean declined medical attention and returned to the pub for another drink, where the staff provided first aid. Efforts have been made to reach out to Bean’s representative for a statement.
