Get off your high horse, as Rowan Atkinson is currently in China for the premiere of Top Funny Comedian The Movie, a film which is only being released in the country, featuring the 62-year-old comedian playing his infamous Mr Bean role.
Top Funny Comedian The Movie, aimed to be extremely lucrative after Mr Bean’s Holiday released in 2007 grossed more than £2.4 million in China alone, is a spin-off of the popular Chinese variety show of the same name and stars Asia’s very own version of Mr Foolish Bean as one of the leading characters in the role.
Worth an estimated £70 million, the legendary actor is set to perform his mute slapstick-style comedy which gloriously transcends languages in Top Funny Comedian The Movie, the first film Rowan has worked on since being granted a ‘quickie divorce’ from Sunatra Atkinson, 56, after he left her for a comedy actress half his age.
Rowan and Sunetra were building an £11 million home in Oxfordshire at the time of their split.
