Across decades, generations have grown up laughing at his work. His humor crosses languages and cultures, proving that true comedy doesn’t need translation — it just needs brilliance.

At 71, Rowan Atkinson’s legacy stands as a gold standard of intelligent, timeless comedy. He didn’t just create characters — he created icons.

Here’s to the man who taught the world that sometimes, the funniest line… is no line at all.
