A rubber-faced comedian and actor, Rowan Atkinson is especially famous in Great Britain. He became a cult favorite in the British television series Blackadder, and an even bigger star in the series Mr. Bean. In 1997 a slapstick film version of Mr. Bean was an international hit. He frequently appears in small roles in big screen comedies, including Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994, with Hugh Grant), Rat Race (2001, with Whoopi Goldberg) and Love Actually (2003, with Liam Neeson).



Rowan Sebastian Atkinson was born in Consett, County Durham in 1955.[3] His parents were Eric Atkinson, a farmer and company director, and his wife Ella May (née Bambridge), who had married on 29 June 1945.[3] His elder brother, Rodney Atkinson, is a eurosceptic economist who narrowly lost the United Kingdom Independence Party leadership election in 2000.[4][5]

Atkinson married Sunetra Sastry in 1990, having met her professionally on the set of Blackadder. They married quietly at the Russian Tea Room in New York City, U.S., with Stephen Fry acting as the best man. The couple have two children, Lily and Benjamin, and live in the Oxfordshire village of Waterperry.
