Bean's most prominent role was as Boromir in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. While the actor has acquired a unique reputation over the years for being killed. Sean Bean (born Shaun Mark Bean on 17 April 1959) is an English actor. He dies muttering his apologies, and Aragorn assures him he will not have died in vain. Sean Bean believes out of all his countless onscreen deaths, his favourite was Boromirs in The Lord of the Rings. This is a big change from his "Gondor has no King" attitude when they meet in Rivendell.Īnd after the Ring has finished consuming Boromir he appears immediately regretful and puts his life on the line to save the hobbits. Not only does he have a grand old time teaching the hobbits some sword fighting skills, he also has a touching scene with Aragorn in Lothlórien: he tells Aragorn that he would follow him to the end. Give it to me! Give me the ring.īut let us not forget Boromir's more lovable moments. You fool! It is not yours save by unhappy chance. They will take the Ring and you will beg for death before the end. Asked to pinpoint his favorite on-screen death, Bean struggled before selecting his honorable death as Boromir in 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.' 'The death of Boromir was a memorable one for me,' Bean said. Aragorn is set apart from normal men, but poor old Boromir falls into the traps of darkness:īOROMIR: What chance do you think you have? They will find you. Most of the talk centered around whether Bean who plays the show's main character would die, something he laughed off. In fact Boromir acts as Aragorn's foil, showing that Aragorn's choice of exile over power as the King of Gondor and his refusal of the Ring when Frodo offers it to him are characteristics fit for a hero and a leader. He wants to use the Ring for good and, while he's certainly not lacking in courage, refuses to listen to the warnings of Aragorn and others. So Boromir's problem is that he's a man, and his character is meant to be representative of the race of men. Men aren't thought of so highly-and for good reason, considering the fate of Isildur and the Nazgûl. And Elrond mocks Gandalf for putting his hope in men. In the film's introduction, Galadriel describes men as blinded to Sauron's deceit by their lust for power. The most popular image in the One does not simply. The problem with Boromir is that he's just a… man. Even the Elf Queen Bee Galadriel has to fight hard against it. But the spirit of Sauron can be totally overpowering-look at what it does to Frodo, Bilbo, and Isildur. Sure: he tries to steal the Ring from Frodo. And there was this ski lift, and so I’d sit on that and they’d wire me up.” He laughed, “Dressed as Boromir!

Whenever I could use any other means to get to the location, I would do.
And we had to go up in the helicopter with a glass bottom, and that was really scary for me. “That scene that you just saw, that was up on a mountain on some glaciers. I’m okay now that I’ve gotten used to it, but at that time, I was a little bit scared,” explained Bean. New Zealand is a great place.”Īs an avid fan himself, I’m sure Ross had seen some stories on the extended DVDs and was leading Bean on when he asked about his fear of flying.
“We got to know each other and made some good friends.
When I first got the part, I didn’t realize how it was going to escalate into such a big epic number,” Bean said. “It was a long time ago, if you think about it.
