SEAN BEAN HATES HIS HARD PERSONA

Lord Of The Rings star Sean Bean dislikes his reputation as a Hollywood tough boy, because he is actually a "mild-mannered" person. The Hollywood actor hates being typecast as a tough guy, insisting he is a sensitive actor who is interested in animals and poetry. He says, "There’s a common misconception that I am a tough, rough northerner, but I’m pretty mild-mannered most of the time. "It’s the parts you play, I guess. I’m not a tough guy. It would probably surprise people to know that I’m interested in wildlife. I read a lot of poetry too."
