Rowan Atkinson has joined a £20 million movie production of David Copperfield.
The Mr Bean actor will play nice-but-dim character Mr Micawber from the Charles Dickens novel.
A source told the Daily Mirror: "It's perfect for Rowan. Micawber is a lovable fool who becomes friends with Copperfield."
The film, in which Micawber lands himself in jail through debt, will be directed by Peter Howitt.
