Mr Bean stars in Chinese film Top Funny Comedian: The Movie
In Mr Bean’s Holiday, Mr Rowan Atkinson went on a meandering journey around France, but his latest vacation has taken him to China where he’s using an iPhone to snap ornate sculptures.
Top Funny Comedian: The Movie sees a group of four men and a woman venture to Macau where one of them gets lost, requiring the other four to save them. Due to Atkinson being unable to speak Mandarin, the cast used mainly body language to speak to each other, co-star Guo Degang saying, according to The Beijinger: “[We communicated] just with facial expressions and gestures. We seemed to understand each other. It was a really interesting experience, which proves that comedy can cross boundaries.”
The movie is releasing in China and expected to be a box-office hit.

The clip features the former super villain, voiced by Steve Carell. Jobless after he is fired from the Anti-Villain League for being unable to capture new antagonist Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker), Gru’s fortunes seem to change once he is reunited with Dru — also voiced by Carell — who lives in a fancy mansion that contains an evil layer filled with a number of gadgets and a rocket-powered car.
