Sean Bean

Started by Unrequited_lad

So that it doesn’t clog up the ‘Best Acting Job ever’ thread, here is where you can express your opinions on the, ahem, ‘pride’ of Sheffield, Sean Bean.

At least he’s never forgotten his Sheffield roots. No matter who he plays, he turns them into a Yorkshireman. He could play Idi Amin, and he’d still be as Yorkshire as a whippet and a Yorkshire pudding.

Nope, he never forgets his roots. And he won’t let us forget them, either.

Maybe this guy is too stupid to get another accent right? Just like this cunt from across the pond, Keanu whatever his name is?

Look at this photo of him:

He has the sort of smugness you can only get from being payed fuck-knows-how-much to convince people that there’s a Yorkshireman in every city of the world. He’s thinking ‘Look at me, I’m a dickhead, but at least I’m fucking rolling it in’. Fair enough, in something like When Saturday Comes which is set in Yorkshire, it makes sense, but Troy? Fucking Troy? Jesus Christ, words have not been invented to describe how stupid that is.

Don’t hold back Gav, tell us how you really feel.

I think we should start the Wombles Against Sean Bean club or something like that.

That Sean bean fansite has a list of films where he dies. What this means is we can watch all these films to see him die over and over… and over… and over… and over… and…

The new album better have an anti-Sean Bean song on it, or I think I’ll have lost all faith in Therapy?

I’d like to see that scene where Sean Bean gets shot in the face in Equilibrium close-up and in slow-motion. Oh, and I’d like it to be re-enacted in real-life with an uzi. Maybe an M16.

The website also has his agent’s address. Perhaps we could wait outside there for a while and make your dreams come true…

And if anyone’s interested, he’s appeared in an Enya video and also read a few audio books. Seriously, I hate his voice as it is, do we need a tape made of nothing else?

If we could snuff his agent that would mean he might not star in anything I would want to see again. I mean, he’s a better actor (yes, hear me out) than a lot of the ones I see on TV soaps, the only problem is he keeps starring in stuff I want to see like the Islaond. Hmmm…

I can’t remember what his voice is like (probably a good thing). What titles has he done as audio books?

I was thinking that we could wait until he visits his agent…

He’s done a couple of Sharpe audio books, King Arthur and the Knights Of The Round Table, Stanley Matthews’ autobiography and a couple of children’s football books called ‘The Big Game’ and ‘The Big Match’. A scan of the cover of the latter shows a piece of text from the story:

‘Ace save Chris!’ shouted Andrew as his younger brother pushed yet another of his best shots around the post. ‘You’re unbeatable today.”

Now imagine that in a fucking Yorkshire accent.

PS. I don’t mind Yorkshire accents in general. I just dislike them coming out the mouth of Sean Bean.

Hey, I like Yorkshire accents. But I’m prepared to make an exception for Sean Bean, because he’s a cunt, and also it’s his inability to use another accent that makes him such a cunt.

I’m sure that killing Sean Bean is legal. It’d be a mercy killing.

If I was him, I’d buy a red Jaguar to match the blood that’ll soon be fountaining from his jugular.

Just take a look at Emmerdale :D

Matthew Broderick is the worst actor ever ! :O

Yeah, but I don’t watch Emmerdale. None of those hacks manage to get parts in good films like Equilibrium or Goldeneye. It’s like my annoyance at Pete Doherty. Sure there are worse musicians out there, but none that are in the press as much as he is.

I wouldn’t be so annoyed if it weren’t for the fact that his music is shit. It’s just a bunch of basic chords and lyrics. You can kind of get away with being a complete prick rock star if you’ve got the songs to back it up, like Axl Rose during the ‘Appetite’-era Guns’n’Roses, but when you’re just some talentless pasty-faced junkie, it doesn’t quite hold water.
