    I can see a Mr Bean skit where he's driving around trying to find his hotel. Accidentally ends up on a race track and starts overtaking professional drivers left and right while obliviously looking around for anything that resembles a hotel.
    Half way through his car seems to be making a clunking sound. So he drives into a pit stop thinking it's a mechanic. The crew impressed with him, changes his wheels and fills up his car.
    Mr Bean impressed with the speedy service gives one of the crew a tip before driving off.

    Rowan had a stuttering problem which contibuted to him limiting his talking in his early career but later recognized that by letting his visual expressions and actions talk for him he was able to reach a much wider audience with his comedic genius.

      Looks are subjective!!
      Only Looks are for weak people who are pathetic in every dimension of life.
      He don't need to be. When he is so good with so many traits. That already placed him ahead of 99.9% of the people in the world. These days you can easily build a strong & good looking body but being versatile and skilled in so many areas doesn't only happen with practice you need atleast a little bit of skill or touch of it from the get go.

    I used to build and run the car he raced in the late 80’s with Radbourne Racing.
    It was the Renault 5GT Turbo Cup and he could only race in a few races each year due to his schedule, but even then he would be in the top 6-8 out of 30 cars.
    Great guy, apart from the time I took his car from London all the way to Knockhill in Scotland for a race, then told me he couldn’t make it but had forgotten to inform me đŸ€”
