The actor has admitted that he was quite pleased when he heard about Joffrey's death in Game of Thrones.

The 55-year-old British actor, whose character ended up getting beheaded by the sadistic boy-king in season 1, said that he was "glad" after watching the Purple Wedding, reports The Independent.

The episode ended with Joffrey, played by Jack Gleeson, dying a grotesque death after being mysteriously poisoned at his own wedding.

Although Bean did not see the episode himself, he said that was he was pleased, jokingly saying, "What can I say? I'm glad he's dead - he killed me."

"He [Gleeson] was brilliant, that kid. He's a fantastic actor, and he really got people's backs up, which, I guess that's what was required of the character," Bean told entertainment news programme Access Hollywood at WonderCon last week.

He went onto say, "We never really thought that it would turn into the thing that it was but I'm very proud to be associated with it. I'm glad I kick-started it."
