When Lily was brought into the world, her father's television series, Mr. Bean, was just coming to an end. His career, however, was far from over. According to Atkinson's biography, the series was adapted into a film, Bean: the Ultimate Disaster Movie, in 1997, when Lily was a toddler. Atkinson reprised his role as Mr. Bean again in Mr. Bean's Holiday in 2007, when Lily was a pre-teen. Lily's father, however, was far more than just a bit part in a blip of British history. 

"[Mr. Bean] is hugely popular internationally," Michael Parkinson said when interviewing Atkinson for BBC. "It is bizarre actually," Atkinson responded with a laugh, "It's something that I try not to think about very much because, actually, if I ever do, you know, stop and dwell on how well known my face is in so many obscure corners of the world, that I think I would find it rather disturbing." Now, just imagine if that were your very own father.
