Claim
Recently, a photo has been circulated on the social media platform Facebook, claiming that the popular comedic television character Mr. Bean, portrayed by actor Rowan Atkinson, is bedridden. Check out the posts making these claims here and here.
Newschecker-Bangladesh has verified the claim as false.
Fact
A reverse image search was conducted for the purported photo of Rowan Atkinson bedridden to verify the claim. However, the search yielded no reliable information or news reports from British or international media indicating that Atkinson is ill or bedridden. Moreover, a recent search discovered an article from The Sun, an English media outlet, featuring a direct interview video with Rowan Atkinson himself.
The recent report about Rowan Atkinson attending the ‘British Grand Prix 2024’ disproves the claims that he is bedridden. This evidence suggests that Rowan Atkinson is in good health, and the circulating information stating otherwise is inaccurate.
Result: False
