According to The Mirror, the “scuffle” with bar security left people “shocked.”
The Mirror reported that bar staff were accused of being “dragged” into the street by bar staff. He was in Liverpool to film a new BBC “gangland drama,” The Mirror reported.
A witness told Daily Mail that Bean ignored requests from security to stop vaping.
“Sean kept saying he could do what he wanted. To be honest he was being a right [expletive],” the witness told Daily Mail. “The bouncers were just doing what they do for everyone else – which is fair enough. When he came back in he just started vaping again. They asked him to leave but he wouldn’t. He was just clinging onto his chair.”
The witness continued, “I was so shocked by the fight I couldn’t move – my jaw just hit the floor. I was really saddened by his smugness. He really seemed to feel like he could do what he wanted.”
Daily Mail reported that Bean has been in tavern altercations before, being stabbed in 2011 in a tavern.

Ruth Carmichael, the owner and operator of Tom Thumb, told Liverpool Echo: “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 Liverpool Echo spoke to eyewitnesses who did not want to be named. “I was drinking in another bar not too far from Tom Thumb and Sean Bean was there. People were harassing him and he wasn’t enjoying himself, so I said to him, ‘I know somewhere you can get a drink in peace,'” one said.
The witness told Liverpool Echo that the door staff believed Bean was vaping.
“The bouncer went up to Sean and said ‘can I have a word?’ He asked him nicely not to vape inside.’ They said the actor left the bar but went back in and there was a further discussion before he was led out by security,” the witness told Liverpool Echo.
According to Bean’s IMDb profile, “Sean Bean’s career since the eighties spans theatre, radio, television and movies. Bean was born in Handsworth, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, to Rita (Tuckwood) and Brian Bean. He worked for his father’s welding firm before he decided to become an actor.”
