Sean Bean has been spotted enjoying the delights of a Somerset town for at least the third time this year.The Game of Thrones actor took time out for a photograph with a fan when he popped into a pub on Saturday (July 16).Jayne Bentley, a committee member for Wincanton carnival, was raising money for the annual event through a table top and jumble sale in The Bear Inn when the Yorkshire-born celebrity turned up.She said: "He just walked in with three friends. He was lovely and was happy to have his photo taken. I hear he then went up to Otter Nursery garden centre for a coffee and to get plants. It is great he feels he can walk around our lovely town."A member of staff at the garden centre – which is not far from the town's well-known race course – said Mr Bean was "absolutely charming".The Sheffield born actor has featured in many popular films and television shows including Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Lady Chatterley, Sharpe and James Bond film, Goldeneye.Yayne said she is a fan of both Sharpe and Lord of the Rings.She added: "I'm a big fan. My mum watched Sharpe so I watched it and I loved him in Lord of the Rings. I haven't watched Game of Thrones but might have to now."She confesses to being overwhelmed by the moment in the Wincanton High Street pub – which left her a little tongue tied.She said: "I really didn't talk much and just kept saying sorry to his friends for stopping him and thank you for the photo."My daughter loves him and she was at work and she is very jealous. Hopefully next time I won't be so star struck so I can talk to him. He really seams lovely and didn't mind at all."Jayne hopes to see Mr Bean (not to be confused with the Rowan Atkinson character) again and would love him to support Wincanton Amateur Dramatics Society, which she chairs."I would love it if he would come and see some of our plays or pantomimes – or even come and chat to our members about stage and screen work. That would be amazing."Mr Bean was also spotted this year at The Wagtail pub and restaurant, next to the A303 in Wincanton, and a few weeks later coming out of the town's health centre.Alison Sealy – a hairdresser who works in Gillingham – met the actor with her husband at The Wagtail in January and agrees with Jayne that he was "lovely".Local rumours suggest that Mr Bean might have purchased a house in the Wincanton area, with the villages of Maperton and Stoke Trister mentioned as possible destinations.Representatives of the actor have previously been approached by Somerset Live but have so far offered no comment.
