This is the moment Sean Bean struggles with a bouncer before he is knocked to the ground and dragged out of a Liverpool bar after allegedly being scolded for vaping.
The Game of Thrones star was seen being manhandled by security staff, one of whom had a hand around the actor’s throat, in the Tom Thumb pub last Friday during a night off from filming a new BBC drama in the city.
Sharpe’s actor can be heard in the footage being told to “calm down” before being told to leave the pub by a member of staff.
The 65-year-old man was then pulled out of the cabin he was sitting in, with one witness claiming he had to be knocked to the ground and forcibly removed.
Bean has been involved in multiple incidents in bars and pubs throughout his career, and on one occasion was even stabbed during an argument over a glamor model.

An eyewitness told MailOnline the latest occurred after the Sheffield-born actor ignored requests from bar staff to stop vaping indoors.
The witness said: “I was really surprised and pleased when I first looked up and saw him sitting there.”
“When the bouncer approached him, I thought it was for a photo, but he was actually asking Sean to stop vaping in the bar.
‘Sean kept saying he could do whatever he wanted. To be honest, he was being a real jerk.
“The goalkeepers were just doing what they do for everyone else, which is fair enough.”
‘When he came back, he started vaping again.
“They asked him to leave, but he didn’t. He was just clinging to her chair.
“I was so shocked by the fight that I couldn’t move; my jaw just hit the ground.
“I was very saddened by his presumption. She really seemed to feel that she could do whatever he wanted.”
