The closest Mr. Bean came to killing the Queen was when he headbutted the head of the British Royal family. The Queen was hurt but survived, and Mr. Bean managed to slip away. But a hundred years ago, another Mr. Bean attempted on Queen Victoria’s life and suffered a different fate.
John William Bean was a real person, and unlike the delightful character played by Rowan Atkinson, the Victorian Mr.Bean was repulsive. Tuberculosis had devastated his spine leaving him hunched and dwarfed, no taller than four feet. His arms were atrophied and his hands were as small as those of a young child. He walked with a twisted gait, lurching his whole body in the direction of the conspicuous hump over his right shoulder. His face was marred by scars and his eyes sunk into the abyss of his head.

Throughout history, prominent figures have been targeted for assassination. And if it occurred during the 20th century, it s more than likely the CIA was involved somehow. But some historical figures were able to survive numerous assassination attempts, some through skill and others by dumb luck. Some survived dozens of assassination attempts while others survived hundreds.
Some people, like Rasputin, have gone down in history as being notoriously difficult to kill. But some of the numerous assassination attempts on his life might actually be a myth. It s suspected that Putin has also been the target of numerous assassination attempts, although clearly Putin himself has been much more successful.
