British star Sean Bean is shunning Hollywood glamour for his next acting project - narrating a medical training video for a British hospital.
The Lord Of The Rings actor will provide voice over duties on a new medical DVD for patients who are preparing for hip and knee replacement surgery at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital.
The Sheffield-born actor's unlikely role came after staff asked Bean's grandmother if he would help out.
Surgery manager ANDREA WATSON explains, "It started off with a joke when we were looking for someone with a good Yorkshire accent.
"Someone said how about Sean Bean? Then someone else remembered his granny had been treated here.
"It's amazing. He's an A-list Hollywood star but he went into a studio and recorded it between films."
