London Symphony Stars Mr. Bean in 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony [PHOTOS]

The London Symphony Orchestra starred Mr. Bean - British actor Rowan Atkinson - as it performed at the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony Friday night. 

As the Orchestra played the theme song of the "Chariots of Fire," 1981 British film,  Mr. Bean took to a keyboard, playing a single note repeatedly.

Mr.Bean looked bored and started to text and take photos with his phone. He then sneezed and tried to reach for a tissue while continuing to play the same note with a blue umbrella. When he wakes up from daydreaming about running on the beach, he finds he was still playing the same note when everyone else has stopped.
