England's got Bean

Ever seen this guy?
I know that all of you must have recognized him even since many years ago. A great performer... a great comedian... a great actor... a great writer... you name it! But how far did you know all about him?

Mr. Bean a.k.a. Rowan S. Atkinson was born on 1955 in Consett, County Durham, England. Staring at his silly face nobody would've ever thought that he was one of students in Newcastle University majoring in Electrical Engineering and, even more, he continued his study to pursue an M.Sc. at The Queen's College in Oxford.

Talking about career, he's been well-known as Mr. Bean in a TV serial under the same name / title, Mr. Bean. Following its success a movie entitled "Mr. Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie" was produced on 1997. After approximately 10 years of vacuum another Mr. Bean movie, Mr. Bean's Holiday, was created and published on 2007 to cure the fans' longing for his act. One of his best achievements, he's ever been claimed by "The Observer" magz as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy.

He's made all people around the world laugh, even myself! Because, frankly saying, lots of my friends told me that I was a quite and serious person. Even worse, some said that I had a bad sense of humor! But thanks to Mr. Bean since he's inspired me a lot to be a more cheerful person with his silliness. But other than that, what's inspired me the most is though his education background was engineering but he'd never shut his eyes for another opportunity even when it came from a very different world.

That's why, if I ever decided to study abroad... it would be in England... and if I chose England... it happened because I wanted to meet him to let him know that he's my inspiration and to encourage him to perform again. Besides, I'd also really like to know and learn about his experiences in dealing with two very different and opposite worlds like science and entertainment plus becoming successful in both of them just like him!
