ROWAN ATKINSON - ATKINSON SAYS GOODBYE TO MR BEAN

English funnyman ROWAN ATKINSON is saying goodbye to his MR BEAN character forever. Atkinson, 52, first introduced the bumbling, clumsy loner in the 1990 TV series, Mr Bean, and brought his character to the big screen in 1997 movie BEAN. However, after Mr Bean's latest outing in new film MR BEAN'S HOLIDAY, Atkinson insists he is "hanging up" the character for good. He says, "I think it's highly unlikely there will be another Mr Bean film or TV show. "You must never say never but I think its highly unlikely."
