"Name?"
*"B E A N"*

[livier]

It's cool how he has a supperb vocabulary and pronunciation and is also one of the best silent actors.

[namelessdork]

I'm just still coming to terms that Rowan sounds like a proper gentleman that could narrate Shakespeare theater.

[slyx]

Crazy how he made a character so popular without saying a word

[Miliradian]

(In a alternative universe)
Mr.Bean we gotta cook!

[Illsaywhatilikecheers]

Love Rowan Atkinson
Love Mr Bean
Both Icons

Man... Hearing him talk normally AND with a voice that sounds so full of wisdom, it just hits different

[customjohnny]

In the intro sung by a choir at the beginning of each episode, they’re actually singing Latin that translates into: “Behold the man who is a bean”

[jenniferegan]

Ironically, he has the most attractive and soothing voice I've ever heard.

[babytristansmom]

I always had a crush on him. Since I was a child. I’m 33 now and still find him handsome.❤

[Fearlessswiftieforev]

My grandad met him ❤ He said that he is an angel and very kind ❤

[owl-arm]

The thing that tickles me about this, is that the Bulgarian word for 'bean' is 'bob'... and Rowan Atkinson managed to make simply saying the name 'Bob' funny!

[alexandradane]

Such a terrific old bean is Mr. Atkinson . The world can only be better place with him at the fore - not much pressure then !

[lindylou]

Mr Bean doesn’t use any words. Rowan Atkinson, on the other hand, has a tremendous vocabulary and a talent for using it.

[malinir]

Bean is my fav character. I still watch it and I am never tired…. it still makes me laugh.. Thank you Mr Bean…

[mikefooyc]

the genius of this series, of no word spoken allows the show to transcend borders and bring joy to the world regardless of language

[mindblown]

If he had been called Mr White, Reservoir Dogs would have felt very different

[marcioferraz]

Rowan Atkinson is a genius!
I guess I watched all his sketches, and also the big screen ones.

[sagorhosseinneel]

Our childhood was precious with you sir ❤

[markomilankovic]

Mr. Bean is brightened my childhood. I still watch it today (2024.)
