Nerd News: Sean Bean Stabbed in a Barfight
Who is Sean Bean?
In Goldeneye, he played Alec Trevelyan. In the new Lord of the Rings movies, he played Boromir. In Game of Thrones (most importantly) he plays Eddard Stark. So basically he’s been an icon of badassery for over 20 years.
Sean Bean, better known as Ned Stark (because actors are really just the alter egos of their best characters) was stabbed in a barfight yesterday. Apparently he was doing his thing, chilling in a bar with a topless playboy model by the name of April Summers (also known as Nadia Foster) when some guy made a few lewd comments about her.
Coming to her aid, Bean had a few choice words with him (My guess is they were “Shut your mouth or I’ll sick my kid’s dire wolf on your ass”) and the offensive patron left. Sean went back to his evening, enjoying his drink with the 22 year old model. She’s pretty damn hot, kudos Ned. Sean Bean is 52; keep that in mind here.
Some time later the creep came back, and a fight broke out between the two just outside the bar. Bean presumably won; he was punched in the eye and stabbed with a broken bottle, but returned to the bar, taking a first aid kit from hospital staff but declining further medical attention.
That’s right. He was stabbed in a bar fight, and went back in for another drink. Apparently he isn’t an actor, he just really is an action hero. No worries though guys, he should be fully recovered in less than a week, and is scheduled to play in a gritty reboot of Peter Pan.
