However, the character's original ITV sitcom came to an end back in 1995.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Rowan discussed whether he would revive his classic role.

It saw Richard Arnold ask him: "What price to have you back doing a live-action version again?"

Rowan replied: "Occasionally, I think about it. Is it worth it? Is there any need?

"It probably won't happen. Almost certainly won;t happen. But I have to say, it's not an impossibility."

Since the initial sitcom concluded, the character Mr Bean has reappeared in other forms.

This includes two feature films - Bean (1997) and Mr Bean's Holiday (2006), respectively.

Mr Bean featured at the London 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, in TV ads and several sketches for Comic Relief.

Rowan has also reprised the role for an animated series which has existed in three iterations.

First from 2002 to 2004 followed by another run from 2015 until 2019.

The cartoon will return again this year, releasing in the UK on ITVX and Boomerang.

Last year, it was reported that Rowan would be starring in a brand new Netflix comedy.

Titled Man vs Baby, it is a follow up to the actor’s 2022 series Man vs Bee and sees the actor reprising his role as lead Trevor Bingley.

Man vs Bee followed Trevor’s disastrous experience housesitting a luxurious mansion filled with expensive artwork and classic cars.

A new employee at House Sitters Deluxe, it’s Trevor’s first big job but it is hampered by a rogue bee that he can not catch.

Not only does he injure himself while trying to overcome the bee, he causes destruction to the million-pound home he's been paid to look after.

The nine-part comedy series saw Rowan return to the small screen in a role similar to that of global hit Mr. Bean.

Man vs Baby will see Trevor looking after a luxurious London penthouse, but this time he is faced with an unlikely foe - a baby.

The new series consists of four 30-minute episodes and has been created and written by Will Davies & Rowan.
