How Does Mr. Bean Live Now?

hello everyone one of the most iconic shows of the 1990s along with alf friends in beverly hills 90210 is the hilarious british sitcom mr bean this character is so weird that you just can't stop watching him getting into incredible situations and coming out of them in the most comic manner but did you know that mr bean's character was invented by the actor himself rowan atkinson the comedian claims that he came up with a character while he was studying oxford university many many years before he began acting he drew inspiration from monsieur ullo a character from an old french comedy [Music] we don't need to tell you how famous atkinson became after the show aired [Applause] after all in 1992 alone it was seen by almost 19 million people back then these figures were even more impressive than they are today when everyone has access to youtube and all the movies of the world on their smartphone it's hard to imagine how atkinson's life changed because of its frantic popularity but it's almost three decades have passed since then what is he doing now today we're going to tell you the most interesting facts about mr bean's real life before and after the show let's get it on [Music] curiously even though atkinson is a world famous brilliant comedian now he was very shy as a kid by the way did you know that the actor studied with a famous british politician we're talking about former british prime minister tony blair he was the head of the cabinet of the united kingdom for 10 years and leader of the labour party along with atkinson he attended torres de school in durham teachers remember blair as an ambitious and outgoing child while little mr bean was told to be shy and modest after school atkinson studied at queen's college oxford university but curiously he didn't study acting in fact he graduated in electrical engineering as did his father 40 years prior all thanks to atkinson's relentless desire to understand how things work around him at the age of 10 little mr bean supposedly could assemble and disassemble an iron without problems a few years ago it was revealed that the famous actor jim carrey was so successful in embodying strange characters because he'd been dealing with adhd since childhood atkinson was in a similar situation all his life he suffered from stammering but he turned it into his trademark feature to disguise his speech defect the actor invented a special exaggerated way of pronouncing some sounds like the bee and the audience loved it you will reappear but um but you never know you must never they but you know you must never say never again it was never saying ever but i you know that does come a point when you feel as though in addition the actor admits that over time his stammering began to disappear but still before becoming a famous comedian rowan had problems with it especially when talking with his peers at school his classmates called him names for his way of speaking his facial expressions and his quirky smile later his college classmates immediately nicknamed him weirdo atkinson became interested in acting by accident although it literally saved his life in oxford the future comedian met richard curtis a student theatre enthusiast it was he who prompted rowan to use his skills to his advantage and to try out his skills in comic pantomime this encounter was indeed life-changing for both of them it was thanks to this duo that the character of mr bean sprang to life in addition to many other successful ideas for example early in his tv career rowan participated in a satirical program on the bbc the show was called not the nine o'clock news and consisted of parodies of politicians stars and other famous people he wrote all these sketches in collaborations with his friend richard and what do you think happened in 1980 five years after graduating from college the program's lead character atkinson himself was named man of the year by the bbc [Music] [Applause] in addition the program won many prestigious awards including the international emmy award and the british academy award of course rowan was happy with the success and decided to continue his acting career by the way the character wasn't initially named mr bean in the original version his name was mr white and later mr cauliflower and only at the last moment he was changed to the famous name we all know atkinson also has an unusual hobby driving lorries he even received a special ce driving license in 1981. after college atkinson even thought about setting up his own transport company since after finishing his studies he couldn't find a place in life and couldn't even talk to girls due to his peculiar facial features and speech after the show mr bean was finally launched atkinson was given a chance to give his first public performance but the actor made a request he wanted to appear in front of a french speaking not an english-speaking audience for the comedian it was necessary to see if his style of low word comedy would appeal to viewers from other countries the success was beyond measure he's a genius huh that's what they tell me allowing mr bean to be released in 245 countries around the world the secret of the legendary show is the universality of the character and its behavior which doesn't need to be explained although atkinson plays a clumsy and cowardly character in real life he loves cars and enjoys racing his collection includes many sports cars such as a mclaren f1 and a renault 5 gt turbo as well as business class sedans such as the skoda superb and the audi a8 once he was involved in an accident during a car race though unfortunately his aston martin v8 zagato ended up completely wrecked but atkinson didn't suffer any serious injuries [Music] however his career as a racer is full of successes for example in 2011 atkinson participated in the filming of the world famous show top gear while driving a kia seed the actor covered the track in a record time becoming the champion of this amateur competition [Applause] however a year later his record was broken by the legendary matt leblanc best known as joey from friends he topped atkinson by just one millisecond in one minute forty two one [Applause] but speaking of accidents atkinson broke his favorite mclaren f1 twice in 1997 and 2011. the second time the comedian demanded a compensation of 910 000 pounds from the insurance company the highest recorded compensation in british history subsequently the car was sold as an auction to an anonymous british citizen for 12 million dollars obviously only rowan atkinson could sell a car for that amount of money after repeated breakdowns and accidents by the way mr bean changes cars quite often this year for example he sold his mercedes-benz 500e with an incredible mileage of more than 310 000 kilometers that's in spite of the fact that modern mercedes-benz engines for passenger cars are built to last up to 250 000 kilometers but who cares if it's the car of a world famous star this story proves once again that rowan is not like mr bean he once saved a plane from crashing in march 2001 atkinson and his family were traveling in a private jet across africa suddenly the pilot lost consciousness atkinson took over and kept the plane in the air until the pilot woke up fortunately the landing went smoothly but who knows what would have happened if it wasn't for atkinson's courage by the way before the incident the actor had never seen the control system of an aircraft if you've seen the comedy johnny english a james bond parody with atkinson in the lead role you must remember how he meets the british queen in the movies it always happens in extremely comical circumstances but in real life of course it was very different in 2013 the comedian was appointed commander of the order of the british empire by queen elizabeth ii for his contribution to drama and charity you're probably wondering how many millions atkinson has if he can afford such a luxurious life according to current estimates atkinson's assets amount to about 130 million dollars even though his filmography is one of the shortest among the most famous actors in the world all thanks to the impressive success of mr bean and johnny english as well as the income from his small business selling cars and real estate in london and abroad although many years have passed since the launch of the series it's still widely acclaimed by fans around the world atkinson says the mr bean royalties keep filling up his bank account that's why the 25th anniversary of the series couldn't have passed unnoticed in 2013 atkinson climbed into a chair on the roof of the legendary yellow mini with a teddy bear and drove through the center of london as mr bean [Music] he even passed by buckingham palace and bought himself an ice cream at st james's park bringing to life the famous scene of the episode do it yourself mr bean good morning thank you very much obviously everyone was delighted so what is atkinson up to today a couple of years ago he admitted that he dreamed of making a film featuring an elderly mr bean with all his peculiarities and dementia on top of that since then however nothing else has been heard about the project perhaps because a couple of years ago atkinson became a father for the third time at 62 the actor confessed that he spent all his time with his daughter and even decided to take a paternity leave sacrificing his own projects to be next to his 35 year old wife actress louise ford so in the foreseeable future there probably won't be any new projects featuring mr bean dude are you looking for new technologies and great gadgets are your thoughts focused on the future do you love huge vehicles and can't imagine your life without robots around you then visit techzone and you'll find all this and more the link is in the description you interested great [Music] [Music]
