He entertained pedestrians while he sat on a fawn-colored chair placed atop his iconic green 1976 British Leyland Mini 1000.



He also had a mop in hand and his best friend Teddy, by his side.



The performance was a reenactment of a famous scene from his popular TV series Mr Bean.

He was accompanied by a small platoon of officers who drove behind him as he drove through the streets of London. During his ride, he also stopped to get ice cream in the park.

The Mini had a #MrBean25 hashtag on the side for curious passers-by:
