Rowan Atkinson

Who has not seen one of the most well-loved sitcoms of all time, Mr. Bean? The credit for the titular role of the series is none other than Rowan Atkinson. What some may not know, though, is that he is also one of the creators of the show! Other than the mentioned series, he has also appeared in a myriad of different projects. He is also known for Rufus’s role in Love Actually and Nigel Small-Fawcett in Never Say Never Again.

Atkinson was born on January 6, 1955, in Consett, County Durham. Despite being in his 60’s already, the star is still very much alive and active in the industry. Just recently, he reprised his role as Mr. Bean in the series Handy Bean! In 2012, it emerged that Atkinson was planning on retiring the beloved character. In 2016 though, he released a statement that he would never retire Mr. Bean. No need to fret. Our dear odd fellow won’t be leaving us anytime soon!
