Not just a funny face 😅
If you don't know who this is, you are wayyyy too young haha😀. A living legend of our times. I came accross these today and a flood of memories came rushing to my mind. Teddy and Mr. Bean, bffs! He made the mini car cool. He even played in the orchestra that opened the London Olympics with the famous song 'Chariots of fire'! Amidst all of his fame, it is the actor, not the character, the person behind the goofy face, that makes this guy amazing.
Some interesting facts
A man of many talents, Rowan Atkinson holds a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering.
In 2001, while on holiday, the pilot of his private plane fainted. He managed to maintain the plane in the air until the pilot recovered and was able to land the plane at Nairobi's Airport.
His birthday is a day after mine 😂
What I find inspiring is that he studied some hard core degree, most likely with expectations from family and friends, yet he still persued his passion.
May we all see the light side of life and follow our dreams :)

An exceptional mind.
I have always felt the humour he and his fellows produce is evidence of their frustration at the challenge for meaning to life.
With the annihilation of dreams by the realisation that standard Christianity and false religion in general fail to provide a plausible rationale, many, especially so called intellectuals, turn to comedy, satire and cynicism to give expression to their frustration with the pointlessness of our seemingly brief sentient existence, after which we appear to cease to be.
Happy is the man, comparatively at least, who can believe that life does not begin at birth or end at death.
Thanks@graviton. We do tend to other forms of expression if we have been failed, especially religion. Life does have more purpose when you have a hope for the hereafter. I'm glad to have that hope myself !
I'm a fan too.
Thin blue line was great. Black Adder too. But Mr Bean is one of a kind!
I read about them, never watched them that's why I didn't include it. He was als brought up anglican. Interesting man actually.
A little to 'intelligent' he is. He decided to support militant atheists in their quest to remove God from our minds and world.
Despite his amazing talent, brilliance and ability to elicit a tremendous response and entertain better than almost any, I could not applaud him for fear of reprisal.
