In the USA Rowan Atkinson is best known for his near-silent goofy role of Mr. Bean, the hapless, gormless and generally oblivious manchild with a limited intellect. It’s very easy to think that Atkinson would be somewhat similar, given his love for that role and his other ventures into goofball comedy, like Johnny English. However, Atkinson, by all accounts, is a quiet and fiercely intelligent man. He’s politically active in preserving free speech and gay rights. He has a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from Oxford. He’s also famously reclusive, rarely giving interviews, and listing his profession as ”engineer” on his passport.
