His antics in the Mr Bean series may be genuinely funny, but nobody is laughing at this. Actor Rowan Atkinson cheated death last night after careering off the road in his 240mph supercar. The 650,000 McLaren F1 spun several times, smashing into a tree and ploughing into a road sign before catching fire on the opposite side of the carriageway, reports the Daily Mail.

The Mr Bean star, 56, pulled himself free from the wreck and was looked after by a passing motorist until emergecy services arrived at 7.30pm.
