Spain: Mr. Bean President of Europe - by Stephen Webster



Legendary physical comedy character Mr. Bean, portrayed by actor Rowan Atkinson, is not the president of Europe. But if you were looking at the Spanish Web site set up for their temporary presidency of the European Union, that fact may not have been so clear.

In Spain, the similarity in appearance between the two men has been a running joke for years, according to reports.
