Portrayed as Mr. Bean, Atkinson starred in ITV from 1990 to 1995, has produced an animated spin-off and two movies on a big screen. It is one of Britain’s most successful comics exports.

The actor, who will be voicing the character in an upcoming animated film Mister Bean, told Radio Times, “ It’s easier for me to do the character out loud and not visually. I don’t really enjoy playing with it much.

He said that social media filled him with “fear for the future,” and that it widened divisions in society and reduced tolerance.

“The problem we face on the Internet is that the algorithm decides what we want to see, and it ends up creating a simplistic and binary view of society,” he said. It becomes a case that is either with us or against us. If you are against us, you deserve to be ‘canceled’.

What we have now is the digital equivalent of a medieval gang roaming the streets in search of someone to burn.

“So it’s scary for anyone who is a victim of this mob and it fills me with fear about the future.”
