Social media is flooded with fake Mr. Bean jokes after Zimbabwe beat Pakistan on Thursday and here’s why.
Recently, the official handle of Pakistan Cricket posted training pictures, and a purportedly Zimbabwean handle Ngugi Chasura replied,
“As Zimbabweans, we won’t forgive you. You once gave us that Fraud Pak Bean instead of Mr. Bean Rowan. We will settle the matter tomorrow. Just pray that rain doesn’t save you”

When a Pakistani fan asked for an explanation, he replied,
“They gave us Pak Bean instead of Mr. Bean in one of our local events called Agricultural show”.

And he also tweeted a pic of the Pakistani look-alike.
“This is … Pak Bean who imitates Mr. Bean stealing people’s money”.
And with the speed of light, that post went viral when Zimbabwe beat Pakistan in yesterday’s match.

Who is fake Mr. Bean?
His name is Asif Muhammad, and he is a Pakistani comedian who can pose as a doppelgänger for the real Mr. Bean.

Shahid Afridi’s reply
The funny meme that went viral was brought up on a show on Samaa TV where Shahid Afridi was a panelist. The host reminded Shahid Afridi that he had acted in an advertisement with the fake Mr. Bean in Pakistan.
“Yes, yes I remember,” Afridi said with a smile. “He totally looks like him. I was completely confused (“Bilkul waise hi hai yaar. Mein to confuse ho Gaya Kasam say!”) Afridi said.
And when the host told him about the viral war saying that the Pakistani Mr. Bean allegedly did some shows in Zimbabwe as the real one, Afridi said with a smile,
“If he has made money, then it’s his talent, hai na yaar!”
Pakistan lost yesterday’s epic match to Zimbabwe and Pakistani fans are not happy at all. Moreover, Pakistan is being trolled brutally for the fake Mr. Bean as well.
