Legendary Actor Physically Thrown Out Of Bar For Vaping

Actor Sean Bean apparently had a very rough time while trying to enjoy himself a night out on the town.

The former "GoldenEye" and "Game of Thrones" star was removed from Tom Thumb in Liverpool, England on May 31st after allegedly vaping within the establishment, according to The Independent.

A video making the rounds on social media shows Bean in a very tense physical altercation with guys who appear to be security.

Sean Bean reportedly thrown out of Liverpool bar for vaping.

While the video has gone mega-viral since Thursday and it's a tough look, there might not actually be much bad blood between the two sides.

"This has all been blown out of proportion. Sean Bean behaved fine and is a great guy. It was a misunderstanding. Sean Bean and the doorman shook hands outside the bar and Sean is welcome back anytime," the establishment said in a statement to Metro.

No harm, no foul in the eyes of Tom Thumb management.

While Tom Thumb management might have forgiven Bean - which is great for all sides - I'd like to suggest we all take a firm anti-vaping stand within bars and restaurants.

Is it better than cigarettes? Without a doubt, but nobody as far as I know is arguing to bring cigs back into bars and restaurants.

There's nothing more disgusting than walking through a massive vape cloud to get another beer. It's gross and rude. I don't care if you're one of the greatest James Bond villains to ever live or the man who played Boromir in a "Lord of the Rings" film.

If you vape, you're gone! The one minor exception I'll make is for bar staff who I like, preferably hot bartenders. If they want to lean into hot girl privilege, so be it. Sean Bean is a dude, and while he's talented, no exceptions will be made for an actor.

Put the vape down, and get yourself a nice beer instead. Trust me, you won't regret it. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
