Sean Bean has revealed that he will never get married again.

The 51-year-old Lord Of The Rings actor, who divorced fourth wife Georgina Sutcliffe in December last year, said that despite his bad luck with marriage, he still believes in true "love".

Bean told Gloria magazine: "Of course I believe in love despite four divorces. There is nobody who doesn't believe in love. But marriage? That fits some people, but obviously not me."

The couple's 2008 wedding was called off 24 hours before it was due to take place because of "personal reasons" but was later rescheduled. They separated last summer and Sutcliffe cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce petition.

Bean later said: "It seems I'm young, free and single again. I wouldn't say what has happened has put me off women, and as for marrying again, well I just can't say."

He has also had failed marriages with high-school sweetheart Debra James, Stardust actress Melanie Hill and Sharpe co-star Abigail Cruttenden.
