Britain: Has Mr Bean Rowan Atkinson converted to Islam?

Mr. Bean  - Rowan Atkinson

According to various rumors spread on different social media websites, forums and blogs on Wednesday famous British Comedy Actor Rowan Atkinson who got popular for his famous character of Mr Bean has converted to Islam.

It appears that the website Israellycool, the source of the “prank”, intended the article in question to be a joke of sorts and it was said that the article itself refuted the “ridiculous” claim. Nevertheless the prank was taken seriously by many.

At any rate the Israellycool website has now, apparently in earnest, published a statement from Mr. Atkinson’s agent denying knowledge of any conversion. The agent reportedly said the following:
“Thanks for your e-mail. I’m afraid that, as far as I’m aware, Rowan has not converted to Islam.”
