Lord Of The Rings: 15 Things You Didn’t Know About Boromir

Boromir wasn’t the only total badass, of course, as the actor who portrayed him was a total badass too. Sean Bean, famously known for being an absolute death-whore in nearly all of his films, had undergone some real trials while making Lord of The Rings.

While filming the Path of Caradhras scenes in Fellowship of The Ring, Bean’s acrophobia led to his decision not to travel up the mountain by helicopter, instead opting to hike up. That’s right, the actor that played Boromir, a man who traveled for 110 days to reach Rivendell, true to his character, hiked up the side of a mountain to film a few scenes.

We bet Sean Bean could have taken the Balrog. The dude was once stabbed in a London bar fight and then continued drinking. And he’s Ned friggin Stark.

Sean was awesome as Boromir. I'd read the books a few times and didn't really get the depth of his character until Sean portrayed him.
