Rowan Sebastian Atkinson popularly known as "Mr Bean" is the most famous man for his stand up comedy and satire skills.
He is my best and all time greatest "Stress Buster" ever.
Every-time I watch him, I laugh, giggle and sometimes also roll on the floor. He is beyond any comparison.
It is extremely beyond any explanation that he is there in my mind and thoughts 24 X 7.
Wonder why even after watching him act a 100th time, it still feels so fresh, lively and brilliant act of comedy.
His acting skills, his expressions, his body movements, his timing and his spontaneity are truly beyond perfection.
I started by watching his television series and so glued to his superb comedy till date.
My all time favorite is "Mr Bean's Holiday" released in 2007, and its 12 years now and still such a delight. Its truly enticing to watch him again and again. I have seen the movie several times, can't even count!!!
I also loved watching him in Johnny English and Johnny English Reborn, truly truly outstanding.
The man I truly love and admire for his brilliant and exceptional skills
He is called as the " man with the rubber face."
