So, we decided to find out who Mr. Bean is in real life.
1 In reality, Atkinson suffers from a stutter, which made him a reserved and self-conscious man during his adolescence.
However, he managed to use this flaw to his advantage on screen. He admitted that stuttering doesn't bother him at all during filming. Perhaps that's why Mr. Bean didn't speak much.
2 Rowan is a fan of James Bond and even managed to land a role alongside Sean Connery in the film "Never Say Never Again."
Later, he became a super spy himself in the Bond parody "Johnny English."
3 Atkinson's second passion is cars. He has his own car collection, primarily consisting of sports cars.
Occasionally, he contributes to specialized magazines like "Cars." He was even invited to Top Gear, where he appeared in the 4th episode of the 17th season.
4 Atkinson crashed his McLaren F1 twice. The first accident resulted in minor injuries, and the car's repair cost £100,000 out of a total value of £650,000.
Ten years later, he crashed the same car again, causing severe damage to the front end. The insurance company had to pay a record-breaking £1 million for the repair.
5 By the way, aside from his comedic talent, Atkinson is highly educated. He graduated from the University of Newcastle with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and later obtained a master's degree from Oxford.
6 The British royal family themselves appreciate Rowan's talent and have become friends with him. He was an honorary guest at both Prince Charles's and Prince William's weddings.
7 Once, the actor was flying with his family over Kenya when the pilot unexpectedly lost consciousness. Atkinson took control of the plane and simultaneously tried to revive the pilot.
Fortunately, everything ended well, and the pilot regained consciousness and safely landed the aircraft. He became a hero who saved his family from a plane crash.
8 From 1990 to 2015, the actor was married to Sunetra Sastry, with whom he has two children.
It is said that on their first date, the actor didn't say a word except to ask for ketchup.
Rowan Atkinson has become an icon of British comedies. It's hard to imagine someone more quintessentially British.
It's a shame we don't see the actor on screens as often nowadays, but we can always enjoy his old series.
