UK’s ITV News introduced Nigel Dixon, who is a Mr Bean impersonator who found himself stuck in Wuhan, China, during the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Given the huge global popularity of Rowan Atkinson’s Mr Bean, it’s perhaps unsurprising there is a market for look-alikes.
More unusual is how Nigel Dixon rose to fame. He got stranded in Wuhan – the source of the coronavirus pandemic.
Stuck in lockdown, his videos dressed as Mr Bean were a source of comedy and useful advice for millions, earning him an army of fans both in China, and all around the world.
