Sean Bean


I don't care what happened on last week's Game of Thrones.  For all intents and purposes, Sean Bean remains immortal in all forms.
E! Online reports that in a bizarre twist, the Game of Thronesactor recently found himself stabbed in a London bar brawl, but thankfully remains in good health.  Sustaning a glass shard stab wound to his arm and some punching bruises to his face, the actor refused a trip to the hospital, accepting first-aid from the pub's kit before proceeding to order another drink.
The incident arose when a fellow bar patron apparently made lewd comments to Bean's companion, 22-year old Playboy model April Summers, outside of Camden Hill's Bar and Brasserie.  Bean confronted the man for his actions and warned him off, only for the man to return and incite the resulting scuffle.
This bizarre happening occurs just days after :::spoiler alert::: Bean's character Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark faced a different kind of blade during his untimely death in ninth episode "Baelor."  Given the nature of the real-life incident, we'll assume the episode contains deleted scenes of Stark laughing things off and ordering an ale.
Bean's heroic actions aren't the first bit of violence related to Game of Thrones either, as back in April two Florida men ended up in a scuffle over the series that saw one of them hurled through a glass window.  Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt in either incident.
