After Zimbabwe's exciting 1-run victory against pakistan in a t20 world cup 2022 match on Thursday, october 27, in Perth, nobody expected the Pakistani Mr. Bean controversy to explode as far as it has. In the past two days, Asif Muhammad, a Pakistani comedian who can pass for Rowan Atkinson's iconic comedic character Mr. Bean, has been in the headlines. As a result, mentions of "Fake Mr. Bean" on social media have skyrocketed, with Pakistan's and Zimbabwe's top leaders both calling him out.
Zimbabwean President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa thanked his country and poked fun at pakistan in a humorous social media post about the "Mr. Bean" controversy. How exciting for Zimbabwe! Chevrons, congratulations. Send the genuine Mr. Bean the next time," he said. The tweet received a lot of social media attention, and articles explaining Pakistan's Mr. Bean's narrative have taken over headlines. As it turned out, Pakistan's prime minister, Shehbaz Shariff, responded to Mnangagwa's message on social media by noting that while his country may not have the real Mr. Bean, they excel at displaying cricketing spirit. The prime minister of pakistan also suggested that Babar Azam's team would make a big return in the remaining matches of the t20 world cup in Australia.
The "Fake Mr. Bean" memories, incidentally, started when a Zimbabwe cricket fan declared on social media that his country would do revenge for an incident from 2016 in which residents of Harare paid the Pakistani Mr. Bean (Asif) to visit and play in a show there. The "Comedy Night" show did not go as planned, and residents of Harare expressed their displeasure. In pictures that have gone viral, Asif can be seen waving to bystanders while being encircled by security personnel on the streets of Harare.
