Sean Bean has died so many times on-screen in both movies and shows<\/strong><\/a> , it\u2019s practically a pop culture rite of passage. From arrows in\u00a0The Lord of the Rings<\/em>\u00a0to a beheading in\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>, his characters have made the ultimate exit more than 20 times. But the actor himself? Still alive and very much amused by it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Man Behind the Memes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a recent interview, Bean addressed the decades-long running joke about his death-heavy filmography. \u201cI\u2019m not really dead!\u201d he laughed. The actor made it clear that he\u2019s well aware of his reputation. Instead of getting tired of the memes and montages, Bean\u2019s taking them in stride. \u201cI enjoy playing juicy, nasty characters,\u201d he added, and if they don\u2019t make it to the credits, so be it.<\/p>\n\n\n

The internet has turned Sean Bean into something of a legend\u2014not just for his acting chops, but for the way his characters rarely survive. There are even multiple \u201cSean Bean Deathl\u201d compilations on YouTube with millions of views. He admits that the attention made him rethink his role choices at one point. \u201cIt did cross my mind,\u201d he said, \u201cthat I might want to play someone who lives.\u201d Check out one of the many compilations here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
