Sean Bean has revealed that he's so exasperated with his characters dying onscreen, he's now turning down roles which would see him meeting a grisly end.

The 60-year-old actor's character Ned Stark was brutally beheaded in the first season of hit fantasy drama Game Of Thrones, while Boromir perished under a shower of arrows in Lord Of The Rings — marking just two of his 23 screen deaths.

And Sean has now decided that he'd like for his next character to make it out of a TV show or movie alive, telling The Sun: 'I’ve turned down stuff. I’ve said, "They know my character’s going to die because I’m in it!"

Sticks with me, too; so I get your point...

We all know they’re actors portraying a character, often from real life...I’m fine with that...What really sticks is screenwriters who twist the story for commercial appeal and scripts that portray our warriors with anything less than the dignity and honor they deserve...

The only good part in Titanic was when Lenardo turned blue and sunk to the bottom.

Didn’t Leonardo DiCaprio have a run of dying characters for a while?

Cannot be too many scenes of old pumpkin head kicking off.
