今天，是豆豆先生的61歲大壽！羅溫·艾金森，CBE（英文：Rowan Atkinson），是一位英國喜劇演員，曾出演英國電視劇《Blackadder》（中譯《黑爵士》）及《豆豆秀》，並以其「豆豆先生」形象深入民心。
其實羅溫患有嚴重的口吃，2007年在時代雜誌採訪他的「請教豆豆十個問題」（10 Questions）專欄中，來自芝加哥的記者朱莉亞·雪帕德問他是否克服了口吃，他回答：
「我的口吃時好時壞，要看我的心情是不是很緊張。不過口吃對我來說確實是一個很大的問題。我發現當我在演戲的時候，口吃就消失了。口吃的問題也許是促使我當演員的靈感之一。」
螢幕的他，有點笨拙、幼稚和靦腆；螢幕背後，卻是一位擁有牛津大學電機工程碩士學位、熱心公益和捍衛言論自由、榮獲大英帝國司令勳章（CBE）的笑匠，他就是人稱「戇豆先生」的路雲艾堅遜（Rowan Atkinson）。1955年的今日，路雲在英格蘭出世，35歲時憑自創自演的電視喜劇《戇豆先生》深受歡迎，後來更拍成電影及動畫，片酬源源不絕，令他一度成為全英最富有的電視名人。但路雲與不少喜劇大師一樣，曾因事業低谷而患上抑鬱症；笑聲背後，隱藏不為人道的辛酸。
1975年，當時20歲的路雲已創作「戇豆先生」這角色，但他仍在牛津讀書，間中參演劇社。到1981年，他在倫敦西區劇院首次用「戇豆」這角色表演獨腳戲，一炮而紅。1990年「戇豆」登上電視，劇集《戇豆先生》分為14集、每集半小時播放，直至1995年才播出最後一集，但已廣受歡迎。此劇在全球200多個地區播出，後來更改編成同名電影及動畫，路雲的酬金收個不停，加上其製作公司亦獲得甚豐，有調查估計他2003年時的身家高達6,000萬英鎊，相當於7.2億港元，是當時英國最富有的電視名人。
路雲嘗試跳出「戇豆」框框，如在電影《四個婚禮一個葬禮》、《真的戀愛了》中客串小角色，2003年他在電影《特務戇 J》擔正，但票房和口碑均欠佳，加上事業近年停滯不前，令他患上抑鬱症，閉關2年後再出發，擔演《戇豆撞正女殺手》、《戇豆先生》續集《戇豆放大假》等電影，但已產量不多。
「戇豆」雖令觀眾歡樂，亦令路雲置富，不過早在2007年，他已透露因「戇豆」的笑料已乾塘，《戇豆先生》不會再有續集。2012年，當時57歲的路雲為倫敦奧運開幕禮「破例」再演「戇豆」，也是「戇豆」在鏡頭前最後一次演出，他解釋：「搞笑要很大體力，而且戇豆太細路，我年紀已不輕，再演如此滑稽的角色實在有點悲哀。」

路雲除醉心戲劇，還致力捍衛言論自由。2005年他與演藝界組成聯盟，要求英國國會檢討種族及宗教仇恨法案，擔心宗教團體有過大權力限制創作自由；2009年英國政府欲立法禁止仇視同性戀言論，並想刪除免責條款，路雲促請上議院投反對票；2012年路雲表態支持「修訂公安法運動」，不滿多年來將侮辱言行入罪，2年後成功逼政府修例。此外，路雲亦熱心公益，不時捐贈弱勢社群，加上他對戲劇界的貢獻，2013年獲頒大英帝國司令勳章。
