Rowan Atkinson reveals why he won't play Mr. Bean again

Rowan Atkinson has revealed that he didn't like playing Mr. Bean, saying he is glad that role is over.

The 70-year-old actor and comedian made the shocking revelation in a candid interview with the DailyMail.

Rowan hinted that he would never play Mr. Bean again, saying that portraying the role is "stressful and exhausting."

“I don't really like playing it,” said the actor about his role of Mr. Bean. “The weight of responsibility is not pleasant.”

“I find it stressful and exhausting and I look forward to its end,” he added.

“I don't actually like the process of making anything – with the possible exception of Blackadder, because the responsibility for making that series funny was on many shoulders, not just mine,” explained the Blackadder star.

Rowan continued that Mr Bean's success has never surprised him, saying, “Watching an adult behaving in a childish way without being remotely aware of his inappropriateness is fundamentally funny.”

“The fact the comedy is visual rather than verbal means it has been successful internationally, too,” added the Johnny English star.
