[forrestgump492]

It's so weird to see him so serious. He talks normally. Wow.. I'm surprised :D

[LoverboyStudioz]

Oh M GEE talks so differently from Mr.Bean!!!

[11strelokfan1000]

For the first time ever, I have seen Rowan as himself; and he's a brilliant man!

[Dollmaniac1]

[ilusier1284]

he still looks quite young, except he has a bit more wrinkles.

[birkiebaby]

[Reliancedred]

jose mourinho

[oliverecords]

He's got style.

[AlexIonescu1984]

He is so talkative... awkward...

[Danny30011980]

@AlexIonescu1984 Yes and it proofs that he's not always a goofy character, but very smart and very well considered.

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

living legend.

[lola112705]

[miraxell]

Wow he has voice! Now make the movie Bean's Speech!

[PranavMega]

Mr.Bean look different now!

[tinyunicorns]

EL OH EL HE SPEAKS.

[hashpuppy101]

these people are so polite with one another.wonder how they ruled the world.Guess it was something like " Would you be kind enough to give me all the diamonds you own sir, else I'm afraid there is nothing else I can do but to ask you nicely".

[ivanovsd]

I love him so much, ride Eddmund, RIDE!!!

[hurmpfff]

blackadder 5 in a ww2 p.o.w. camp sounds really good

[mrgamesforfun]

mr.bean is so amazing lol...

[pilgrim401]

[Mamii01100]

[bloop6484]

its weird to see him talk...

[jryeti]

he has a nice voice

lol

[TweFoji]

He is around 60 years old now right?

[groovybaby82]

@TweFoji 56.

[TheComedyfan123]

@TweFoji But back when this interview happened, he was 51.

[zielonkaRocks]

'"Can we please have some more of Black Adder?"

[maisagalle]

las mas cinceras felicitaciones desde colombia para un monstro irrebocable del humor el cual es entendido en todos los idiomas desde el colombia un fiel seguidorr

[AICEX3000]

i love mr been hes the man yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Heylilvelvet]

hes got a very nice voice. wow... his accent, is it slightly english? i hear an accent in there lol

[jippy67]

@Heylilvelvet

not just slightly english! it IS english ... lol.. =P

[stereosgurl186]

i cant see him being serious :/

[janeeyre1990]

What a classy, intelligent, articulate man. I spent my childhood watching things with Atkinson in them (Mr. Bean, The Thin Blue Line, Johnny English, etc.), and only as an adult have I discovered Blackadder. It is truly a treasure, as is he.

[ViveRowanAtkinson]

Whaaaat??????? Are yu sureZ,,

[cheesy2259]

the real reason they cant do another black adder is the director killed them all at the end of series 4 :(

[obamaz88]

Oi does anyone kno if hes alive or not?

i actually heard hes sick in bed..

[grimtango5280]

A british man through and through. Well mannered, immaculate english, charming way of talking and yet one of the funniest man that ever lived. I have great admiration for this man.

[bundeligafan]

lol when i was a child i thought he was mute!

[VoltagE1337]

a bit clooney. if he is serious

[ursulafinallyhastits]

Not a great interview of Rowan. But, to me at least, did the interviewer not miss the point of the last 'Blackadder' episode? I think (apart from making a point about the lunacy of the first world war), that the point of the last episode was to END the life cycle of these charcters? They've gone on through centuries, and really getting no where, and yet dying in this war , have become all the things they wanted to be....REMEMBERED! I just wrote something that took me over an hour to type! Wibble

[gagagadaze]

very nice!!

[jamalrauf]

2:06 to 2:10 LOL !!!!

[meanmrmustard89]

That female reporter is so hot!!

[TriniArabGirl]

he's lovely

[80snessEj]

He is just awesomeness! XD

[11Kralle]

YEah! I would like to have that fifth series of blackadder produced as well! Another cascade of jerry-jokes would have been the final coup! Rowan Atkinson is one of the foundest comedians alive - Danke Rowan fürs aufrichtige Verarschen - wir Deutschen lieben Dich!!!

[MsMjfan21]

he sounds like a narrator

[acidongitim]

he's serious in real life

[battlesix2]

@acidongitim really???? i honestly thought he acted like bean everywhere he goes!!!

[zetaro128]

@battlesix2 I hope you're being sarcastic. If you aren't, then you obviously haven't got a very realistic perspective on acting. Watch Blackadder and you'll see how Atkinson can portray a variety of different characters.

[clingmarbleprod]

i looked up an interview of him just to see him talk

[Kzshifter]

finally i know what his voice is like

[dArtagnanGryphon]

i just found out that he was Zazu in The Lion King and i came stright here to here his voice. It's very generically deep, careful, and british. The weird thing is that Zazu has all these funny lines with his voice and Mr. Bean's comedy is solely his body and expression, but when you put the actor's body and voice together, it's dissatisfyingly normal.

[IrReAle80]

What a sensual voice! :-) It's quite unespected...

[WuHa105]

It IS weird to hear/ see him talk. Awesome.

PS I love the blue room XD

[groovybaby82]

@WuHa105 For some reason the room just gets bluer and bluer! :D Ah well

[zerobeat18]

@WuHa105 Those of us older, who saw him in Not The 9Clock News and/or BlackAdder, found it weird that he almost NEVER talked in Mr. Bean. Kind of like a reverse Chaplin. In later movies when Charlie Chaplin talked it was a pleasant revelation that he was excellent at that too.

[tootsiejoon]

@WuHa105  He sound exactly like when he was in johny english.

[TheBeans8u]

@WuHa105 i agree, i knew he was a smart man even though he doesnt potray it in the roles he plays as an actor. but yeah its almost weird to see him talk as he is

[sudarsanvsr2005]

He's got a villain's tone !!!!!!!

[MissLisa1970]

Black Adder WW II war camp edition? I'll wait patiently! (but do hurry Rowan!)

[kballer05]

woa :) so wierd seeing him talk. he's really smart too, total opposite of mr. bean.

[charlieiscool1000]

yeah hes an actor and a comedy genuis so hes going to be different in real life and he takes his work very seriously if u dont take comedy seriously then it wont work

[andraa44]

[RatSitnov]

I'm absolutely mad about Atkinson and I think he deservers a couple of monuments, mayde one big and two a bit smaller but God when he speaks he reminds me one of my lecturers which I entirely hate an that scares me.

[4132aqua]

[Mautinka29]

[skaterlogan7]

never knew what mr.bean actually sounded like. lol

[idol1506]

hate Mr. Bean and mainly because it doesn't do Rowan justice, Blackadder is one of the best shows and best acting

[swidanza]

i think he has a slight resemblance to George Clooney. jus slight. such an opposite personality to his usual character. lol

[swidanza]

i think he has a slight resemblance to George Clooney. jus slight. such an opposite personality to his usual character. lol

[MrKrevlornswath]

[LizSoler888]

One of my professors at college looks like rowan atkinson, with the similar accent too, even thou he's american!

So whenever i'm in his class, i just look at him and giggle hahah

[jeyda334]

[tawnabawna]

it is so hard to think that that is him. he is like a philosipher; so intelligent

[HwoarangCCC]

such an intelligent, gentle man.

[TheMouseProblem]

self-confessed addict to Black Adder (((:

[lijluvr356]

/signed

More Blackadder! MORE!!!

[KevLancaster1]

He went to oxford university. The british equivalent of harvard or yale

[abdalgoboria]

@KevLancaster1  And he studied electrical engineering there

[TerryDBlack]

@KevLancaster1 only slightly better ;)

[RJADVids]

@KevLancaster1

The British equivalent...??? I think you may have that the wrong way round (check the dates each was established for instance)

[Fortevn]

@KevLancaster1 but General Melchett said Oxford is a complete dump!

[GriffinNary]

@Fortevn Well, quite!

[iszalgocomin]

@KevLancaster1 Oxford is better than harvard

[SHPrada]

@KevLancaster1 i think everybody that does not live in a cave knows that...

[liekkis]

what a comedian - making us laugh using that completely hilarious and silly english accent

[manjitsinghakash]

i just luv this man........he is a legend

[habooplaysbass]

Yes people he can speak

He's a legend

[happyberlin80]

yes, and I really like the way he speaks :-)

[spajsboyz]

what a bunch of morons !! Ooooo hes British? my god! thats...amazing! he is English ? my god...

No, he cames from Zimbabwe . Stupid people recognize him only from comedy shows. He is rich, have nice womans and hes very intelligent . How you can be surprised, morons don't have such career

[Neonicypoles]

WHAT!!! he can talk!! all these years have been lies!! i half expected his to do his weird goggly eyed expressions and just say "bean"...

[KaRlEeLuVsU]

thers a teacher at my school that looks exactly like him :p

[fervask]

[rhkj101]

[12345l6789]

HE SPEAKS WITH A BRITISH ACCENT BECAUSE HE IS BRITISH.

philistines

[xHuSHuSHx]

OMG HE CAN TALK ENGLISH LIKE REAL REAL ENGLISH - i always thought he talked like how he talked in Mr Bean - oh wells until today...he talks...english...

[Neonandie]

omfg

LOL!

[ceriwil]

yep he's british. thats an english accent by the way, not british. theres four countries in britain and we all speak in different accents and have our own languages.

[KURDEUROPE]

[Elzoony]

HE SPEAKS. AND WITH A BRITISH ACCENT. this guys ma hero

[kimonji]

Rowan is genius. Modern Chaplin.

[nadiainchicago]

[fullhouse600]

[louisesoon]

simply love listening to mr bean's "OXFORD ENGLISH"...

[Kstylistic]

Rowan Atkinson is preeeetty damn smart in real life if you didn't know :)

He studied Electrical Engineering in his earlier life and he also went on to study at Oxford. :D

[TuRdSandwitch18]

he's also very charismatic

[macthebhoy]

Please do a WWII Blackadder.

Get Hugh Laurie back from America.

Tell Stephen Fry to pack in QI.

Get Ben Elton and Richard Curtis to get back together and stop mucking about in theatre and TV productions.

Get Tim McInnery to...

Hold on...

It's not going to happen is it?

Waaaaaaaah sob sob waaaaaaah!

[18odette]

Hugh Laurie is English he just sounds American because he's such a good actor in "House".

[laiosto]

Are you kidding.That is the most annoying Yank accent i have ever heard.Just goes to show how easy it is for anyone to do a Yank accent.I've yet to hear a non-Aussie perform a believable Australian accent however.

[PojekGwapzpo123]

you forgot tony robinson

[Ayumura96]

WOOH! he can b serious in real life but he just rock ass in Mr.Bean! an amaziiiiiiiiiing actor~ such beautiful acting! for once i like the thought of being weird and dorky wen i watched mr.bean

[botelhense]

he rules

[OlviMasta77]

"keeping mum" was a really poor movie. My mom rented it expecting it to bed good, since it had rowan on the cover. But boy were we disappointed. Rowan was great in it, but the rest of the movie was flawed. Bad directing, bad acting, and worst of all...A REALLY TERRIBLE SCRIPT!

[meggydanny]

american...?

[WindowProfessional]

nop british!

[dc8p08]

it was very witty, not full of action like the johnny english one, but black comedy.

[theKarst]

bullshit! it's a really good film.

[AceripXF]

omg he is very handsom in this interview wow! <3

[Zinnogirl]

@AceripXF

You're right. You just know him as funny silly man with his strange emotions in his face, but this serious talk makes him sexy ;-)

His voice! I'm into old men :-$

Hope my bf don't mind, lol

[Athanlas]

Mr. Bean is the BOMB !! BOOOOOM

[BevilTex]

What a clever man... and so dedicated to his craft.

Bravo.

I wonder if Mr. Atkinson has ever considered a non-comic role... forget Blackadder, let's see a different side to this very talented man?

[fimpaman]

In the movie keeping mum hes playing a smart priest which presents a little part of his own personality as Rowan Atkinson :)

[iloveit87]

hes great :) such a good actor. annoying though, when people leave comments on videos like this and say ' hes doing something serious for once in his life' . no. he is an actor and he does have a real personality :)

[Bladezwolveraine]

Mr.bean Vs Jim carrey who will win ??

[estelasanchez]

mr beans

[Converse4FrEaKs]

Mr.bean

[piinkie96]

Mr. Bean

[czmeph]

You know, Mr. Bean is a role played by an actual actor. Not sure if you knew that.

[WCPweCanplay]

jim carrey ffs... i mean.... Rowan is just so... nice ^^ and kind... but jim carrey is crazy and like..happy lol.....

[onitsukatig3r]

totally differnt personalitly to mr bean

[dickensonkik]

he's smart .. i like him much...

[UnleasherOfTheFury07]

Bloody hell I wish the presenters would start talking over him.

[nightvisiongoggles]

i'd rather he'd been knighted than those other outrageous celebrities.

[mooz2008]

best guy in the world

[calypse550]

Watch the tongue, Atkinson!

[bigbunniebites]

Lmao its funny cause hes really smart nd nice but in movies likeMr.Bean, and Rat Race, he makes him slef sound nd act so stupidd. its hilarious : D this is the first time im hearing him not use his "Mr.Bean" voice lol

[juzt156]

His actually a very talented actor. Blackadder was fantastic comedy (Not so much series one) Where he play a character who is really mean and sarcastic and clever at times. Where as Mr Bean is a bit innocent and stupid.

[jackhodsonwkd]

i would love to see another blackadder series but i think they would have to be very careful and keep it like the rest , and yeh if you notice alot of people like mr and other comedians are very clever people.

[wikiriwhi]

I thought a ww2 Black Adder would've been natural.

he holds a heavy truck licence and drives big rigs. His passion.

[jackhodsonwkd]

he should be given some sort of award for being such a good actor and making people laugh

[bsuebq]

He studied in Oxford!

[fahdalshehri]

who said so?
