Rowan Atkinson has brought his signature character, Mr Bean out of retirement for his soon-to-be-released movie called Mr Bean's Holiday. Who can forget the antics of the socially-inept, geek-mobile that is Mr Bean? A BTB (Big-Time-Bomb) of a first movie and over-exposure sent this crazy character into early retirement. Let's all hope the viewing public have forgotten his past indiscretions and support Mr Bean's resurrection.
