Mr. Bin (True, this name he found much later) appeared in the world back in 1976, when a student in Oxford Rowan Atkinson decided to speak with a comedy number on one of the student cabins. Runing a bunch of costumes and not choosing a single one, Atkinson died in his own tweed jacket with pop-bias - exactly the same as in millions of simple Londoners. Since then, the tweed jacket has become an indispensable uniform of Mr. Bina and an indispensable Mascot Rouen: he met his future wife.
Since 1979, a ridiculous man in the jacket, falling into the situation funny to idiocy, has become a permanent character of various self-taught actor shows. In the middle of 1989, Atkinson and his university friend and subsequently producer and co-author Scenario Richard Curtis decided to let this eccentric gentleman in mass, that is, on television. To do this, he needed to come up with a name. Two the ancestors of Mr. Bina are not remembered now why they wanted to call their character with vegetable name, but it took not one week and not one dozen items of vegetables fruit so that Bin became Bin, that is, Mr. Beat. The official date of his birth is considered January 1, 1990: it was then that at British television was shown the first series "Mr. Bina".
Rowan Atkinson himself assures that Mr. Bean has always been similar to the cartoon. .
Rowan Atkinson, who gave life to Mr. Bina in the game television series, was actively involved in the animation multi-siele. The actor not only voiced his cartoon twin, but also lost every series in front of the camera so that the animators' artists could change his "branded" movements and facial expressions.
"Live" bin has always been something like a cartoon, "says Atkinson. "Therefore, inventing jokes for the game series, we always represented him as a drawn hero." And when the idea was born to make a cartooner, we did not have any difficulties in transferring it to the animation space. "
"I love him. Mr. Bean is an extremely selfish and self-love and does not recognize the rest of the world. But he is charming, - continues Rowan. - So many years have passed, and I still like to play it. And revise the old series. And, we must admit, I am absolutely not surprised by what he enjoys such love in the audience around the world. I always believed in his talent to entertain the public. And I still consider it a very busy character. "
