No More Mr. Bean
This is some depressing news. While in Australia promoting Johnny English reborn, Rowan Atkinson says he is too old to play Mr. Bean any longer so will be retiring the character. "I’ve got a feeling I probably won’t play the character again."
Mr. Bean is one of the greatest characters invented. The man did not even need to say anything and it is just a great job of acting which allows you to get drawn into the story without much dialogue. The thing is I think he can still do the character. I don't see how it is much different from Johnny English. That character is cartoon like too, but it is not stopping him from doing the sequel to the first movie.

Scare the crap outta me the headline looked like he had passed away!
Wasn't he in a nasty car wreck recently?
I didn't realize he'd even done Mr. Bean lately? All the episodes I've seen seem to be from the 80s and 90s.
Gee, he can't stick a pencil up his nose for a couple of million quid? Rowan must be in really bad shape!
I was thinking that too B626. Glad to see he is doing ok! While I haven't seen him as Mr. Bean, I was a huge fan of Black Adder 1 and 2.
I thought he had died, too. Thankfully not.
Expect the suicide rate in South Korea to be higher than usual. They fucking worship him over there.
I have "Mr. Bean" on my cell phone, informing me when I have a message. Hilarious.
yeah but he's not to old do blackadder!!!!! but hugh laurie is too american and too tough now to revamp his goofy dimwitted character i think
I love the idea of an older Blackadder.Bring it on Rowan!
He will always be Edmund Blackadder to me.
He did a Mr bean film a couple of years ago.
