Los Angeles: Actor Emma Thompson says English actor-comedian Rowan Atkinson is our modern-day Charlie Chaplin. The actors have worked together in films The Tall Guy, Love Actually and most recently Johnny English Strikes Again.
Speaking of Atkinson, Thompson said in a statement: "I've worked with him on and off for years, and I've admired him for years. I really do think he's a remarkable presence in our cultural pantheon."
"He's our Buster Keaton (late actor-comedian), our modern-day Charlie Chaplin really. You don't need to hear him speak, he's just funny," she added. Thompson plays the role of a Prime Minister in Johnny English Strikes Again.
Johnny English Strikes Again will release in India on September 28.
