British funnyman Rowan Atkinson has wrecked his car without even leaving home - the star reportedly smashed up his luxury vehicle on his own driveway.

The actor, who found international fame as the hapless Mr. Bean, seems to have taken inspiration from his clumsy alter-ego after he drove his expensive Audi convertible into a garbage truck right outside his house in Northants, England.

Atkinson is said to have suffered bruising to his face and ribs following the incident, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.

It's not the first time the Johnny English star has smashed up a luxury car, he has had two minor accidents in his $160,000 Aston Martin V8 Zagato and another in his $1 million McLaren F1.
