Rowan Sebastian Atkinson was born in Gosforth, England, in 1955. As a child, he was teased about his looks. Classmates said his eyes bulged and his ears stuck out. Early on, Atkinson developed a love of film. Atkinson acted in many school plays, but he didn't think showbiz was in the cards, so he went on to study engineering at Newcastle University. He was rumored to have graduated at the top of his class. In the fall of 1976, Atkinson arrived at Oxford University to pursue a master's degree. In sketch comedy shows on campus, Atkinson surprised his classmates with his ingenuity.
In July of 1978, the prestigious Hampstead Theatre in London asked Atkinson to do a sketch show. At the Hampstead Theatre, Atkinson impressed many people, including his childhood idol John Cleese.
