Sean Bean's 'Lord Of The Rings' Face Will Live In Infamy

OK. But you can tell he's got a temper under that mellow facade. Not saying he isn't a good guy, but to me he seems like an alcoholic who's trying his very hardest at all times not to put a foot wrong. He looks like he's about to explode, and the only thing holding him together is his nervous smile. I wouldn't want to piss him off, let's just say...

I urge you to look for a copy of "My Kingdom For a Horse", a great little one-hour film he did in the 90's. In it, he plays a painfully shy guy who teaches school, lives with his mum, and takes part in historical re-enactments on the weekends. He does a marvelous job, diametrically opposed to pretty everything anyone ever thinks of when they hear his name. :)

What an absolute legend. Mr Sean Bean is. A proper man dedicated to his craft. All from a beautiful place called Yorkshire ❣️

[@ashara_rhaenys]

This guy has played one of the main characters in so many epic historic movies and TV Shows like Lord of The Rings, Troy and Game of Thrones. Damn, he's had a great career.

[@laurag7295]

You should watch him as Richard Sharpe!

@@laurag7295 Was going to say that, he was amazing as Sharpe.

Yea... I’m gunna need about 20 more minutes for this interview.

[@BatrickPateman430]

That voice. I love his historical quotes in Civilization series. Makes it so special.

[@MrStensnask]

0:04 "Bormer"....??

[@nahor88]

Stephen pronounces a lot of the LOTR names strangely. I think he trying to emulate what he think Tolkien would've pronounced them like. He also pronounced "Gollum" as "Golem" instead of "Gah-lum".

[@MrDwarfBangityBang]

actually they way tolkien wanted people to pronounce names and titles in middle-earth, was in the same way you'd do it in italian.

[@barbaro267]

He does it purposefully. He's a Tolkien nerd, so there's no reason to think that he'd pronounce a LOTR name wrong lol.

[@EnglishDreadnought]

Sorry to burst your bubble old thing, but I am the consumate Tolkein nerd, and Mr Colbert wouldn't know Tolkeinian phonetics if he sat on them. I'm afraid he's just being your typical colonial butcher-of-the-tongues... FYI, the first R should have a single rhotic roll, never a simple flat rhotic note. The final syllable should sound like "mere" (the English non-rhotic pronunciation).

[@JohnBillings83]

EnglishDreadnought Damn. You made me think of Will Hunting when he jumps in making that preppy look like a fool.

No one seems to talk bout how brilliant he was in Frankenstein Chronicles

Dylan M-B Season 2 will haunt me forever.

[@dalsegno1251]

For someone who almost always plays the villain, he's surprisingly humble and soft-spoken. It's always the quiet ones you gotta watch out for.

[@peter9274]

Sean Bean is the coolest guy around.

[@milddiffuse]

This hurts to watch, don't interrupt him when he obviously wants to say something this badly! I'd rather watch a Podcast with him or something where he actually has time to talk, something more chill, cause he is definitely that.

[@Pendragon667]

Mr. Bean was talking about the poor people in Puerto Rico and how the guys from the studio / production were trying to help by going back there and spending money by finishing shooting of the scenes. And what does Mr. Colbert do? He's going back / switching topics to 50 Cent? Really? People died there, Mr. Bean was about to make a point, a statement and Mr. Colbert just goes back to 50 Cent like _this_ ? That's what i call tactful... Edit: spelling Edit 2: yeah i know - Mr. Bean as in Rowan Atkinon's "Mr. Bean". See guys, where i live we usually adress people we don't know or we are not good friends / close to by their last name. So it was just natural for me to use this kind of salutatory address.

[@themasstermwahahahah]

He probably was trying to stop the comedy show from getting too dark, and wasn’t expecting him to get so specific about the Puerto Rico question

[@Pendragon667]

@@themasstermwahahahah Maybe. And while i do understand that each guest does have only a limited window in that they can talk / a time-slot, it wouldn't have been a problem to let Mr. Bean finish his topic, say some uplifting words and then carefully shift the topic / come back to 50 Cent. On the other hand: interviews can at times be a very dynamic situation, granted.

[@ecMonify]

"mr bean" :D

The guest don't get enough time 5 minutes is barely enough time for a quick chat.

His suit is a shout out to Sharp's Shooters, look at that green.

[@RIUUI007]

Jesus, Colbert had zero chemistry with Sean and he clearly rushed through the mostly scripted questions, while not really caring much about the answers he was given. Painful.

[@edwardmp87]

jockejocke1 he was actually doing Sean Bean a favor by promoting and accentuating the highlight of the show in which Sean starred in. Wasn’t that the Main Goal Sean Bean came to the talkshow?

[@royceabshire2453]

@@edwardmp87 While promotion of the show was the main reason for the interview it did seem like Colbert and Bean didn't mesh well. In one of the other comments some compared Colbert ' s energy as the personification of Red Bull vs Bean's as Red wine.

[@MyMomo17]

Because he is a Big Fan of LOTR, he was nervous.

[@bloat1235]

@@MyMomo17 yeah honestly he probably was

[@thomaswilkinson3241]

The way he looked in this interview I got the image of him playing a real life Sir Samuel Vimes, commander of Ankh-Morpork City Watch in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. Kind of an english Clint Eastwood, gritty and angry and ready to drag the gods to justice if needs be.

Going from fighting the French in the 1800s to lord of the rings? Now that’s soldiering.

[@eleanormason2647]

Finally someone mentioned it! Cracking show, great lines

[@leemingal]

I feel Sharpe would also agree that the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword (or fire the rifle, as the case may be)

[@projectx5154]

When you see Sean Bean like this and feel how low profile and fine his energy is, you realize what an amazing actor he is considering the roles he was playing

[@nandakumar2854]

He's so nervous it's adorable

[@ivalicetifalucis]

A year ago I didn’t understand Sean Bean’s Yorkshire accent and then for past year I’m head over heels with Take That and they speak in similar accents (from Manchester, Chesire, and Stoke) and now I understand clearly what he’s saying. This is amazing and intriguing actually.

[@TTWackyDog]

That’s where all the trouble began.... That smile. That damn smile.

[@vaahtobileet]

interesting pronunciation of Boromir. I thought this guy was a LOTR nerd

[@thesprawl2361]

😂...does he look like a nerd? ...Does he sound like one? He must be the least nerdy male human being on earth. In fact, if I had to imagine the direct opposite of a 'LOTR nerd' it'd be Sean Bean.
