I'm a great believer in what Charlie Chaplin said is that a life is a tragedy in close-up and a comedy in long shot. If you sit back visually on a situation, it automatically becomes funnier. And to be honest, I preferred the simplicity and the cheapness if you like. I mentioned which is a French comedian called Jack Taty who said that comedy begins in the legs. Making a character more real and more sympathetic and more identifiable doesn't necessarily make him funny. Because in many ways what's funny about Mr. Bean, for example, is his complete selfishness and he's a natural born anarchist. So he's a child trapped in a man's body.
