about his character and the show. He says they liked the idea of a house-sitter
who was clearly under-qualified for the job. The job was to look after a very
wealthy couple’s house, which is full of extremely valuable objects. Rowan
admits that it felt like a funny idea to him.

However, his fans might find similarities between Mr. Bean and Trevor. Johnny
English star adds that this new character is more gentle and more sincere than
the other characters that he has played. He calls this new character a
self-consumed weirdo. “To play a genuinely good-natured, sweet character is
quite rare for me, because Mr. Ban certainly isn’t, Johnny English isn’t – he’s
another sort of self-consumed weirdo,” says Atkinson.

The comedy that Man Vs. Bee is representing is physical and visible. The fans
expected this from Mr. bean star and comic dubbed “the man with the rubber”.
Visual comedy always inspired Atkinson. While explaining why he is perfect for
the role, Atkinson says, “I guess it must be a combination of some skill and
aptitude, and an interest in the discipline of visual comedy.”

He also adds, “I’ve always been inspired by visual comedies, and particularly by
a French comedian called Jacques Tati.”

He remembers watching his old movies when he was young and that was a great
source of inspiration for him. Further, he also adds that he feels like he can
do better, no matter whatever he does. In one scene where the bee gets into
Trevor’s trousers; Atkinson performed spontaneously in the scene. Therefore,
Rowan admits, “most of that was me just being silly,” about this scene. Even
though he believes in rehearsing for each of his performances, these little
improvisations make us love Mr. Bean more.

We are eagerly waiting to see this “self-constructed weirdo” on screen.
