Rowan Atkinson

[jacintal72]

Several months ago I wrote Rowan Atkinson and requested an autographed picture. I get an envelope from PBJ and I'm all excited thinking I've received his autograph. It turned out to be a preprint. It says: "This is me. Signed Mr. Bean". And they included a note that said they can't send out autographed pictures due to the volume of requests.

What's up with that? Dawn & Jennifer get tons more requests then Rowan I am sure. And they send out autographed pictures - not preprints!

I was all happy for no reason!

That's a shame, although I wouldn't be surprised if Rowan does get a lot more mail than Dawn & Jennifer, because Mr. Bean seems to be very popular in many countries.

He lives a couple of villages away from me. I could see his mini millenium dome in his back garden on milenium new years eve from the windows in my house. Could walk over the fields then try to scale the massive wall he has around his house to get you an auotgraph....OR I could hang around in the tea shop he pops into from time to time.

Very strange seeing Mr Bean walking round like a normal person...lol.

I bet he does get a lot more requests than Dawn and Jennifer, Mr Bean is a massive thing. I don't get that.

I believe I have seen the massive walls surrounding his place - or does my memory fail me, G?.. I think not.
I don't really like Mr Bean - but he's quite popular here as well. I can't stand watching him be embarrassing, so I always turn to a different channel when he's on.
I am not at all surprised that he gets more fanmail than F&S.
But how very disappointing, jacintal - I would be disappointed too!

Dot, you have got the perfect location to stalk him, lol.
But please don't risk being arrested for me. I'll just live with the dissapointing pre-print.

I am surprised he does get more autograph requests than Dawn & Jennifer. Mr. Bean isn't big over here but Jennifer is. She's alot more popular than him over here in the U.S. thanks to Ab Fab.

Oh yes T! I drove you past his massive house and had to do a dodgy turn in some random drive or farm entrance. Totally forgot about that. He will have been flooded into his abode a couple of weeks ago due to a massive flood blocking the only entrance to his village. Amusing. Apart from when you're me driving through the biggest flood ever before they decided it was wise to close the road!

Anyway...
