Sean Bean (Ned Stark) allegedly kicked out of a Liverpool bar for vaping, management claims misunderstanding

Eddard Stark seems to have invited trouble as he was apparently thrown out of a bar for using an electronic smoking device. A Liverpool bar called Tom Thumb ejected actor Sean Bean, best known for portraying Eddard Stark in Game of Thrones.

Reports claim that the actor was indulging in vaping indoors and violating property rules. A security guard asked him to stop and even tried to push him out after he refused to stop vaping.

Video footage shows Sean Bean getting pulled out of Liverpool bar

Reportedly, the Game of Thrones actor did not stop vaping even after multiple requests. Ultimately, a viral video from Daily Mail shows Sean Bean being escorted out of the bar. Some eyewitness accounts even claim that the actor wrestled the guards and had to be pinned down by the neck.

However, the story took a shocking turn when the management at the Tom Thumb bar claimed that it was all a misunderstanding. They further said that the bouncer and Bean have settled the matter and it’s no longer a security dispute.

This can be due to Bean’s high-profile status and his influence in the industry. The bar, on the other hand, may not want to damage its reputation as a discreet establishment. In the day and age of viral reviews, a bar can go viral for the wrong reasons too. Metro publication in the UK received a statement from the bar which read,

“This has all been blown out of proportion. Sean Bean behaved fine and is a great guy it was a misunderstanding. Sean Bean and the doorman shook hands outside the bar and Sean is welcome back anytime.”

This is not the first time Bean has had a terrible experience at a bar since he was attacked in a bar back in 2011 too. However, he did not press charges and accepted first aid to get better. Bean’s team has not commented on the situation yet, but he seems to have been spotted looking cheerful in photos released since the episode.
