Bean misses 'miserable' UK weather

Sean Bean has revealed that he misses the British weather when he works in the US.

The Lord Of The Rings star said he pines for the UK's grey skies, his family and Sheffield United when spending time away from home.

"I miss a lot about England when I'm working away, even the slate grey skies," he is quoted as saying.

"I spend a fair chunk of time in Los Angeles and, after about ten days of warmth and unbroken clear skies, you start to yearn for a bit of good old British gloom and rain!"

He added: "Of course I miss my kids, and my friends and my mum and my dad and Sheffield United and my garden. The list goes on!"
