Actor Rowan Atkinson is globally loved for playing Mr Bean, but he says he finds portraying the character stressful and exhausting. The actor, 65, is developing an animated film based on the popular character, but he says he finds "the weight of responsibility not pleasant", say reports. Atkinson played the titular role in the hit series from 1990 to 1995. He also starred in the films — Bean Movie in 1997, and Mr Bean's Holiday in 2007.

"Having made an animated TV series, we're now in the foothills of developing an animated movie for Mr Bean — it's easier for me to perform the character vocally than visually," he said in an interview.
