Sean Bean (born 17 April 1959) is an English actor renowned for his commanding presence, rugged intensity and unmistakable voice, becoming one of Britain’s most enduring and versatile screen talents. He first rose to acclaim as Richard Sharpe in the beloved Sharpe series before delivering unforgettable performances in GoldenEye, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Game of Thrones, Troy, Time and countless other film and television roles. Whether portraying noble heroes, conflicted soldiers or morally complex figures, Bean brings emotional depth and grounded authenticity to every character, earning him a devoted international following and a reputation as one of the industry’s most consistently compelling actors.

Off-screen, Bean’s style is quietly masculine and understated — earthy tones, well-worn jackets, relaxed shirts and clean, heritage-inflected tailoring that reflect his Northern roots and no-nonsense charm. His eyewear choices follow this same rugged elegance, favouring classic, unfussy silhouettes. He has been seen in timeless Akoni and Cutler and Gross frames and dark tortoiseshell square frames that lend a subtle sophistication without disrupting his grounded aesthetic. Whether on set, attending premieres or enjoying low-profile downtime, Sean Bean’s sunglasses add a cool, understated polish to his iconic, quietly powerful presence.
