BEAN there – done that. His film career has seen him complete many a mission in some far flung places.
BEAN there – done that.But on Saturday Hollywood heartthrob Sean Bean's latest mission will see him coming home... and Sheffield is set to give him a hero's welcome.
The Handsworth-born hunk is set to unveil a plaque carrying his name outside the Town Hall.
The plaque, which will make up part of the city's Walk of Fame, will stand alongside those of other well known Sheffield people including Lord Seb Coe, Joe Scarborough, Michael Vaughan, Derek Dooley, Gordon Banks, Michael Palin and Joe Cocker.
Crowds are expected to flock to the ceremony which starts at 12.30pm.
Former Brook Comprehensive School student Sean, who graduated from RADA in 1983, is expected to make a short speech before the unveiling.
Sean can next be seen on the big screen when he plays the sinister Pyke Kubic in the psychological thriller Ca$h which is set to be released in cinemas later this year.
