As if the world needed another reason to love the joyfully juvenile and slapstick character of Mr. Bean! Thanks to the wonders of the internet, we can now enjoy a whole new form of comedy! Created by famous British actor Rowan Atkinson, the Mr. Bean character was based on Rowan’s love of Jacques Tati’s character of “Monsieur Hulot” according to Wikipedia. Also according to Wikipedia, Atkinson first appeared as Mr. Bean in 1990 in a New Year’s Day special for the BBC.
Atkinson’s latest film, a follow-up sequel to his spy films titled Johnny English Strikes Again, is set to be released in 2018. The character of Mr. Bean has gone down in history as one of the most iconic British television characters ever, even going on to star in two films: Bean, and Mr. Bean’s Holiday.
Atkinson has said in several interviews that he will not continue to play the role of Mr. Bean, including an interview with the Daily Telegraph in 2012 where he stated, “The stuff that has been most commercially successful for me – basically quite physical, quite childish – I increasingly feel I’m going to do a lot less of. I also think someone in their 50s being childlike becomes a little sad. You’ve got to be careful.” However, Atkinson was seen reprising his role of Mr. Bean in a recent Chinese film titled Top Funny Comedian: The Movie, released in 2017. Now, because the world just can’t get enough of the character so they are making Mr. Bean photoshopped into everything, including some famous movies. Check them out below!
