The supposed resemblance of the bumbling slapstick character played by British actor Rowan Atkinson to Spain's Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has been a running joke in Spain for years.

An official at Zapatero's office confirmed a security breach had affected the page (http://www.eu2010.es/) specially set up to mark Spain's 6-month presidency of the EU but added that no information at the site had been affected.
Newspaper El Mundo published a screenshot of Mr Bean's appearance on the official webpage, adding that the character had greeted visitors to the Spanish government site with a cheerful "Hi there!"
