Mr Bean at the 2012 London Olympics | Video – Watch it while you can

July 27, 2012

YouTube is taking down these videos as quickly as they’re going up, but I found a site that has loaded it on their own server, so hopefully you will still be able to watch Mr. Bean’s appearance as a keyboard player at the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony.

Watch as he plays “the note” on the keyboard for the theme song from Chariots of Fire. Then he dreamily joins the group of men from the scene in the movie where they are running down the beach. Watch for Mr. Bean’s surprise finish!

This is about as good as it gets right now. The vid’s keep getting shut down. Sorry. If you would like to see the full video, please click HERE to go to the Official NBC Olympic site to watch.

Awesome! Courageous even! How’d you get a hold of an “unlisted” copy? I hope it stays up long enough for your readers to enjoy it! Downloading now – like I should have done before!!! 😀

    Good thing you grabbed that video while you could! I don’t get why they’re being so asinine about it. Are they planning to sell it or something? Hopefully Vimeo will leave it alone! 😕

      Nope. Looks like Vimeo went once step further and shut down my account. Sigh.

  Glad you got to see it because YouTube AND Vimeo are taking them down as fast as they go up. This is my third embed so far.

The United States really needs a ‘Mr. Bean’ to lighten things up a bit.

  LOL… Haven’t you heard? The Brits are comparing Romney to Mr Bean – so it looks as though we DO have our very own Mr Bean!

I think Atkinson will be very offended at the comparison. It does take very good talent to play the fool successfully, but a fool cannot play talent at all.

As to the account, use an internet cafe……………..

  Actors from the movie “Chariots of Fire.” They super-imposed Mr Bean into the movie.

  Yeah, and I’m running out of finding vid’s to replace it. They’re being very tenacious on shutting down anyone’s uploads.
