Actor Sean Bean defends woman in a bar - gets punched, stabbed and refuses ... - Vancouver Sun

British actor Sean Bean has made a career based on being the stoic hero. On Sunday night, the star of Lord of the Rings and the current HBO hit Game of Thrones reportedly attacked at a pub in London after defending the honour of his female companion.

The row came after Bean, 52, and the woman - 22-year-old former Playboy bunny April Summers - stepped out of the pub for a cigarette. A passerby began making lewd comments at Summers (real name Nadia Foster) when Bean stepped in to put an end to it. The man allegedly attacked the actor, punching him in the eye and cuting his arm with a broken glass

Instead of seekeing medical treatment, however, Bean walked back into the bar with Foster, asked for a first aid kit and ordered another drink.

However, extraordinarily, he declined to attend hospital.

Instead, the star walked back into the bar and, after staff gave him aid from a first aid kit, ordered another drink.

An employee of the bar, Hill Bar and Brasserie, told the Daily Mail: "Sean is a regular here and we've never had any problems before. ...an incident occurred outside the bar. He came in with a cut on his arm and a bruise on his eyebrow. We saw to his injuries with the first aid kit. He seemed ok and wanted to have another drink."
