He may be turning 45 next month but Lord of the Rings actor Sean Bean doesn't intend on acting his age.

After getting stuck into the cocktail menu on a night out at Aura in London, Sean Bean kindly gave a pound to a homeless person before clambering into a cab with two lady friends.

But he wasn't so friendly to waiting photographers - just like a shed-load of other celebs before him, he gave them the two-fingered salute. And we thought actors were supposed to be creative.
