Mr. BeanHe is without a doubt one of the most famous faces of comedy in the world, and arguably the greatest exponent in Britain. The creation of Rowan Atkinson despite having only 14 chapters, it became a real phenomenon, spawning two films and a generous animated series with over 100 chapters.
One of the most striking and characteristic features of the character is that doesn’t speak much, if anything, he says a few words in a certain abnormal tone. And while this gives a special touch to the character, have you wondered why they made that decision? Here we tell you.
Because Mr. Bean doesn’t talk much
The character’s origins go back to the childhood of its creator and performer, Rowan Atkinson, who has said several times that it was a child who had certain speech problems. This, of course, gave him some difficulties, but he managed to find confidence in acting, and that’s how he found his profession.
This is how he was inspired by classic comedy, from celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and mainly Monsieur Hulot to Mr. Bean, a character with a unique essence in submitting to irreverent situations with the slogan to laugh with the primary support of his gestures.
In an interview for PeopleAtkinson assured that, for him, Mr. Bean He was like a 10-year-old boy trapped in a man’s body, which is why he acts so naively, but at the same time he is a rather self-centered character.
Besides, the fact that Mr. Bean doesn’t talk much, helps more people access your humoras the character does not need to be translated to understand his character or what he feels, which gave him an asset to become known in the world.
Will you play Mr. Bean?
One of the last times Atkinson played Mr. Bean, It was during the 2012 London Olympics, where Atkinson appeared at the opening ceremony while playing a single note during a musical performance. Then a cutscene of him appeared, left with a group running and finally he hit a bowl to finish the song.
However, Atkinson doesn’t want to play the character again because he thinks so Mr. Bean should not grow old. He also recently said that playing the character is exhausting, it’s stressful watching an adult behave childishly without realizing it. So we’ll probably never see him live again.
