Bean struggles with bad belly
30/04/2006 - 15:03:02Actor Sean Bean is struggling on the Indian set of his new TV series Sharpe's Challenge after suffering a bout of food poisoning.
The Lord Of The Rings star was among a number of cast and crew members to be struck down with the notorious 'Delhi belly' while shooting the period war drama - a reprisal of the character that made him a household name.
Bean - who is playing Major Richard Sharpe for the first time in eight years- says: "Being ill was unpleasant but everyone on set has had it. I'm all right now."
He adds of the other difficulties of filming on the remote location: "The roads are crazy, and it takes some getting used to. So does seeing camels on the dual carriageways - it certainly keeps the speed down. It's like a film set, there are cows, dogs and cattle everywhere."
