Rowan Atkinson is an English actor, comedian and screenwriter. In Britain, Mr Atkinson is mostly famous for many successful TV shows but internationally we know him best as the awkward, clumsy, but always amusing Mr Bean. If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation, then you are in for a surprise. On the contrary, he is nothing like Mr Bean.

Further thinking
2 As a very popular TV series ,do you think people like it just for fun
Is there any underlying meaning behind this TV series
Apart from fun:
※ it portrays ordinary people’s life vividly, especially the awkward moments.
※ reveals the hypocrisy of poor people.
Mr Bean is poor but he still goes to a fancy restaurant. He can only afford one dish. Even he doesn’t like the dish, he pretends to be a rich man and enjoys the dish.
※ often with good intentions but bad results. This is true to people’s life as no one is perfect.
※ The meaning behind it might be life is still good despite the imperfections.
