LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Sean Bean and Connie Nielsen say their new series Robin Hood, premiering Sunday on MGM+, posed familiar wardrobe challenges.
Both actors have starred in several historical and fantasy epics, including Nielsen as Lucilla in the Gladiator films and Bean as Boromir in the Lord of the Rings and Ned Stark on Game of Thrones.
Bean and Nielsen now play the Sheriff of Nottingham and Eleanor of Aquitaine in Robin Hood.
In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, Bean said he sometimes wished the production were a modern day drama that allowed him to wear "a pair of sweatpants and T-shirt." Robin Hood instead filmed in the summer in Serbia, with the cast wearing elaborate and heavy costumes.
"It was about 100 degrees Fahrenheit some days," Bean said. "It certainly helps to establish yourself as a man of the time or a woman of the time in that case."
