I’m not a fan of mr bean. I don’t get it, it vaguely seems like laughing at someone with learning disabilities to me. But there’s definitely skill and talent in creating the character without words. It’s also clever - the lack of language makes it universal. Most of the people I’ve met who profess their love for the character are not native English speakers. There’s a culture-spanning appeal there, and fame, that Eddie Murphy (with all his undeniable standup skill and wit) will never, ever achieve. To say crafting that lacks talent does Rowan Atkinson a big disservice.
