Sean Bean is currently playing lead character Ronnie Phelan, the head of a Scouse crime gang, in BBC One drama This City is Ours.
Likened to The Sopranos on Merseyside, the series is set and filmed in Liverpool, although some scenes take place in Spain.
But a role that he could perhaps relate to a little more was playing Thomas Cromwell in the Disney+ period drama Shardlake, a man notorious for helping Henry VIII annul his marriage to his first wife.
Henry VIII famously had six wives, something that has subsequently become his legacy – and that’s something actor Sean Bean can certainly relate to!
The actor has been married five times in total, with some ending acrimoniously to say the least. So it may come as a surprise to hear that he has no regrets whatsoever! So who was the first wife of Sean Bean, and what went wrong?
As he embarks on another project, here’s everything you need to know about Sean Bean‘s five marriages, including his famous Corrie star wife. We also look at his career, his background, and his surprising phobia.
What is Sean Bean famous for? What’s he been in?
Sean Bean is arguably one of the UK’s most bankable actors. He’s been on screens for four decades – ever since he first popped up in an episode of The Bill in 1984!
