Ron Atkinson, you may be very familiar with another name for him: Mr. Bean. He is known as the greatest master of comedy since Chaplin. Of course, he is not only a very successful actor, but also a master of car play, and has participated in many racing competitions.
Before becoming a globally recognized master of comedy, Mr. Bean was a full-fledged school bully.
Atkinson was very bright from an early age and consistently ranked among the best in school. He was then admitted to the University of Newcastle with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. In 1975, he attended Queen's College, Oxford, where he received his PhD in electrical engineering.
Obviously, academic qualifications are not important to Atkinson, who is more eager to do what he loves than to be bound by his existing achievements. This may be the willfulness unique to high-IQ people.
In August 1976, Atkinson first attracted national attention at the Oxford Review at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Festival; in 1979, he appeared on London Weekend Television and starred in Three Roles in Canned Laughter, and in the same year he starred in the BBC radio comedy series Nine O'Clock Is Not News, which was recognized by the audience.
It is said that As early as when Atkinson was studying for a master's degree in college, he had the idea of creating the character, describing the character as "the existence of a child's mind in the adult body", often self-defeating in life. Mr. Bean is silent, physical humor and many wonderful actions make people laugh, and Mr. Bean has become synonymous with him.
The spin-offs "Mr. Bean" and "Bean's Golden Week" have also been greatly successful, and Atkinson has also appeared as Mr. Bean in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, and there is no doubt that Mr. Bean has become a special cultural symbol in the United Kingdom.
Atkinson received his driver's license in 1981 and went on to start racing career. He has competed in many racing competitions and collected many classic high-displacement muscle cars. Of course, the pursuit of driving passion also comes with risks, so he is also a regular customer of car insurance companies, and he is the biggest insurance benefit beneficiary in the UK.
