Renowned comedian Rowan Sebastian Atkinson, known for his timeless character 'Mr Bean', is set to return to the silver screen with his biopic. The film will be silent, according to multiple media outlets, including A Showbiz, The Mirror, My London, VIP.

Rowan Atkinson holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Newcastle in the United Kingdom and a PhD in the same subject from The Queen's College under the University of Oxford. Despite being an engineer, filming on camera has been his hobby since childhood. The production is said to have footage from 66 years ago shot by the man himself.

Confirming the matter, his close friend Michael Fenton Stevens said, "Rowan has been videotaping everything from the very beginning of his career. There is nothing in them. He has innumerable such footages."

Known to be the world's best comedian after the legendary Charlie Chaplin, Atkinson is totally opposite to his on-screen character in real life. Being the serious kind, he prefers to talk less. Thus, filming the iconic role of Mr Bean was a rather unpleasant experience for the actor.

He first appeared on the small screen in 1990 in this role. The show first aired from January 1990 to December 1995. While playing the character, Rowan only thought, "When will this pain end?"

The film is said to unveil many other such unexplored sides of the star. The preparations for the production are underway.
