Drive Moment - Something You Didn't Want To Do, But Had To, And It Paid Off

Rowan Atkinson, the actor who played the role of Mr Bean for many years, said in a recent interview that he didn’t enjoy playing Mr Bean. He said it was hard to carry the responsibility of humour on his own, and that it was exhausting.

The Drive 959 team shared some interesting stories about the things that they didn’t want to do at first, that paid off later.
