Rowan Atkinson's face.
One of the most emotive faces of all time. So much so, that the character he's most famous for never bloody speaks. Well, hardly ever. It's so weird that he's become one of the most iconic British comedy figures just through his money maker.
Despite the fact that Mr Bean made his television debut on ITV on January 1, 1990, Rowan actually developed the character ten years earlier while he was studying for his master's degree in electrical engineering.
In The Story of Mr. Bean, a feature on The Whole Bean DVD, he said: "I was asked in my first term at Oxford to do a sketch in this one-night show at the Oxford Playhouse, and I'd never written anything,
"I'm not really naturally a writer, so I just had to invent sort of 5 minutes of something at 48 hours' notice. I just stood in front of the mirror and started to mess about with my face. And this strange, surreal, sort of non-speaking character evolved."
And so Mr Bean was born.
Luckily, the Internet is an incredible thing where we have Photoshop and, even luckier, clever people who know how to use it.
9GAG put together a whole host of pictures that had Rowan's face Photoshopped into them and they're absolutely brilliant.
