Mr. Bean Hospitalized After Wrecking Super-Expensive Exotic Car

Mr. Bean is a VERY lucky man ... because the guy WRECKED the hell out of his MILLION DOLLAR McLaren F1 sports car last night ... and was only hospitalized for a minor shoulder injury.

According to U.K. reports, the 56-year-old comedic actor -- real name Rowan Atkinson -- was driving in England around 7:30 PM last night ... when he lost control of the car, spun three times, ran into a tree and hit a signpost.

Bean was taken to a nearby hospital where he is being treated for the shoulder injury. His car wasn't so lucky -- the entire back end was absolutely crushed.

1. Well, I'm glad he was okay. He's pretty funny.

The Mr. Bean franchise must have been very kind to him if he can afford that kind of car!

3. Good for him that he can afford that

The guy has made relatively clean and extremely subversive comedy since the early 80s. Good on him.

5. This kind of thing seems to happen to him often

I remember he had to sell one of his cars because he kept being ticketed for driving 120 miles per hour in it. He has so many expensive fast cars that this kind of thing was bound to happen.
