However, it is probably his deaths in fantasy stories that are his most famous.
In 2001, Sean Bean portrayed Boromir who met his end during the climax The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Ten years later, he played Eddard “Ned” Stark in game of thrones. At the end of the first season, Stark was executed by Joffrey Baratheon, much to the shock of audiences around the world. Still, it’s the fantasy first death that holds a special place in Sean Bean’s heart.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Sean Bean revealed which on-screen death was his favorite. The game of thrones star said his favorite was Boromir’s death in The Lord of the Ringsciting how heroic and tragic it was:
“Chez Boromir [in The Lord of the Rings] was probably the best death I’ve ever had. It was so heroic and tragic. I’ve had a reputation for dying on screen, but I’d rather stay alive now, if you don’t mind.
