Mr. Bean Live Performance at the London 2012 Olympic Games

Rowan Atkinson performs under the guise of his famous character Mr. Bean at the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Every two years, the world's finest athletes gather at the Olympic Games - a spectacular celebration of sporting excellence that captures the attention of billions of people around the world. However, the Games are about much more than just sport. They bring the Olympic values to life and provide a global arena for a unique combination of sport, culture, education and ceremonies.

At the Olympic Games in London 2012, about 10,500 athletes from 204 countries compete in 26 different sports, comprising 302 medal events. Whether athletes win a medal or not, they can forever call themselves Olympians. The sporting competitions are undoubtedly the central focus of the Olympic Games and participating in the Games is the ultimate goal for most athletes.

Every edition has its own story to tell and will be remembered for some truly remarkable performances from sporting legends such as Jesse Owens, Abebe Bikila, Jean-Claude Killy, Nadia Comaneci, Katarina Witt, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to name just a few.

Mr Bean's 5-minute performance beat the entire Opening Ceremony at Paris 2024.

[grampa]

Who after the Opening Ceremony of Paris 2024? Nothing comes close to 2012 ceremony with Mr. Bean

[Lindastyle]

When the crowd noticed him and immediately started laughing without him doing anything yet. That's when you know you're a legend.

Edit: thank you all for the 102k likes!

1:36 개막식이 지금 봐도 너무 세련돼서 12년이나 지난거 실감이 안됐는데 폰보니까 확 실감된다…

[TheBronzedAngel]

No vulgarity, no offending anyone, no shoving nonsense into anyones face.... and yet made generations laugh without even uttering a word.

[gabrielvalerianomanalang]

I can't believe Olympics was held at Mr. Bean's show.

This skit is PERFECT to the millisecond. The timing of everything is impeccable.

Now this is what a REAL Olympic intro should be like.

[makunahatata]

This one performance is way better than the whole Paris Olympics opening ceremony

[jjrj]

The moment when Rowan Atkinson was OFFICIALLY recognized as a British and Worldwide legend. Make him Sir already
