Rowan Atkinson, 66

Ask anyone who grew up in the nineties about some of the fondest memories they have about their childhood, and we would bet that Rowan Atkinson’s name would come up. Recognized by The Observer as among the top 50 comedians throughout Britain’s history, the comedian distinguished himself by silently eliciting endless laughter from his on-screen antics.

The Mr. Bean character gained Rowan universal popularity, with even non- English speaking audiences connecting with the star through his performances. The entertainer recently made headlines for his call for everyone to be kinder to one another instead of focusing on overt criticism, which Atkinson claims is only divisive and detrimental to our wellbeing.
