Sean Bean once set fire to his house.

The handsome British actor sparked the blaze after forgetting to turn off his chip fryer off before leaving home.

Luckily, Bean, who has starred in a string of Hollywood films, including ‘Ronin’ and ‘Flight Plan’, also left his bath running which dampened the flames – but wrecked his house.

He revealed to Britain’s FHM magazine: “I set my house on fire – and flooded it at the same time too. I went for an interview and somehow managed to leave the bath running and the chip fat on. It was a right state.”
