Over the past decade, very few people have been able to wield their influence in the art of comedy around the world quite like the famous ‘Mr Bean’. The Brit has a way of communicating with his audience, not exclusively with words, but with gestures and actions. With a costume that never seems to change and a very handsome smile, Rowan Atkinson captivated the world with his humorous charm.

A single glance at his face sends even the most serious of personalities into hysterics. Born on January 5, 1955 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, it is interesting to note that this venerable British humor merchant holds two degrees in electrical engineering. It was in Oxford that he started playing, for the first time at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

In 1979 Rowan wrote and starred in the BBC television series Not the Nine O’Clock. In an impressive career spanning more than three decades, Atkinson has featured in theater productions such as The Geek and The Sneeze

He has also appeared on TV shows such as Not the Nine O’Clock News, Black AdderThe Thin Blue Line, and The Greatest of All Mister Bean

Is Rowan Atkinson dead?

As is often the case with men and women, there seems to be an endless appetite for news, good or bad. This has been exasperated by the internet “click bait” world.

So in July 2017 there were rumors on Facebook, Twitter and in the UK that Rowan had died in a car stunt in Los Angeles. The news was even reported by FOX News, but it was later discovered that the rumor was false. Later, it was discovered that the story was not only fake, it was also a potential hoax by fraudsters to plant viruses and likely extract information from their victims.

Family, wife and daughter

Rowan Atkinson was born in Consett, County Durham, England on January 6, 1955. He is the youngest of four brothers born to Eric Atkinson and Ella May. Among his older brothers, Paul, a eurosceptic economist at Rodney, who died as a baby, also narrowly lost an election in 2000 and Rupert. The Atkinsons were Anglican educated and Rowan was educated at Durham Choristers School, a preparatory school.

Rowan Atkinson in the late 80s met SunetraSastra when she was still a makeup artist for the BBC. The couple married in February 1990. The marriage between Sunetra and Rowan later produced two children – Ben Atkinson and Lily Sastra. Their union ended in 2014 after about 24 years and the divorce was finalized in 2015.

It is known that Rowan Atkinson was in a relationship with Louise Ford from 2014 and became a father at the age of 62 when it was announced that he and Louise were expecting a child in December 2017.

As expected of most divorces, bad blood and conflict usually arise. So when Lily Atkinson now Lily Sastra decided to drop her father’s name for her mother’s maiden name it made tongues quiver as there seemed to be an argument going on between father and daughter . Lily also took a break from social media for a while, leaving some 45,000 followers in the hole.

She deleted her posts from the Instagram image sharing website. This act was seen as an attempt to erase his father from his profile. Attempts to get a response from Atkinson’s representative were unsuccessful. Likewise, Lily’s manager has nothing to say other than insist that it’s ridiculous to harbor the idea that Rowan and Lily had a falling out.
