New Royal Navy Advert

[Tilly2]

Is that Sean Bean doing the voiceover?
Mr T and I are in disagreement.

Sorry, can't find a link.

[237SJ]

I met him once. I don't remember his voice being that deep.

[retrocop]

The ad portrays stealth and subterfuge. I suppose certain deep whispers are called for. Still convinced it's me old Bean.

[Spicerack]

You oughtn't argue with your better half, tilly.

[retrocop]

Sean Bean wore green in Sharps Rifles. It stands to reason he wears a green beret in his adverts.

[237SJ]

I met him when was in Lady Chatterly's Lover. I had never heard of him. He said "Ere Luv, have you got any beer on this plane"? Very romantic. Seemed a nice bloke though.

[gulliver1]

I think it is Baldric. ?.

[Tilly2]

'You oughtn't argue with your better half, tilly.'

Why's that Spicey? I'm the better half.

[mushroom25]

what you need to ask yourself is, "does he sound like Man From Sheffield"?

if not, then it ain't Sean Bean.....

[Tilly2]

I have asked myself that and it sounds to me like it is Sean Bean. x

[Barsel]

Sorry Tilly I think it's a Sean Bean soundalike. There are certain words that sound a bit like him but there are other words that don't. If it's a soundalike he wouldn't get credit for it as we wouldn't know who he is.

[Tilly2]

Umph!

[Barsel]

Sorry Tilly. My brother used to live in Derbyshire and then Yorkshire and his lady friend is Yorkshire born and bred. I've sent him the YouTube link to the ad and asked if they think it's Sean Bean and hopefully he will get back to me soon. In fact I'll phone him now to tell him to check his emails.

[Barsel]

Tilly, one more for you. From my brother.
Sounds like Sean Bean to me!

[pixie374]

I don't think it does particularly sound like him- sorry xx

[Barsel]

Tilly this man does voice overs.

[Barsel]

This is definitely Sean Bean.

[brainiac]

^^^ He's not very good, is he?

[Ken4155]

Definitely not Yorkshire enough. As has been said, some of his pronunciation doesn't sound like SB at all. And as he has never (to my knowledge) changed his accent for any of his film roles, i can hardly see him doing it for a commercial.

[Calibax]

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I'm puzzled as to why advertising agencies credit the writer, director, producer, cameramen, sometimes down to the wardrobe assistant and make up artist but very rarely credit the acting talent.
p.s. I don't think it's Sean Bean.

[Tilly2]

I think I might have lost that one. :-(
