Mr. Bean encourages daughter's music career


Lily Atkinson, daughter of famed comedian Rowan Atkinson and celebrity make-up artist Sunetra Sastry could be said to be destined for a career in show-business and it sounds like that's exactly the avenue the 20-year-old is planning to go down as she hopes to pursue her dream of becoming a singer - but not without a little help from her father. 

According to The Sun, her comedian father - who has an estimated net worth of around £130 million - is thought to be funding his daughter's music career in a bid to propel her into the spotlight. 
It's claimed the Mr Bean star has already contributed toward a music video which cost £10,000 to make and has also splurged £6,000 on photo shoots and cabaret lessons.
'She's performed a few gigs in a cabaret style and really enjoyed them. Her parents both come from show-business backgrounds so they are fully supportive of her. 
MailOnline have contacted Rowan's representative for comment. 
'She's had cabaret training and really hopes to make a breakthrough this year.' 
The singer-songwriter has been performed at a number of low-key venues in London, crooning tracks that are predominantly R&B and pop. 
The pretty brunette's next gig will be at Chelsea's The Pheasantry due to high demand following a sold out performance at the venue in September. 
Promoting her upcoming show by posting a flyer on Instagram, Lily enthused: 'GET YOUR TICKETS NOW! On the 26th and 27th January I will be returning to The Pheasantry with a brand new show - as well as debuting my new music! We were packed and sold out in September so now there are 2 nights for you all! I am so excited! @milomilesofficial @natashalawes @guitarboy100 team ready? 
The youngster appears to already be gaining quite the fan base as her three music videos have already garnered over 60,000 views on YouTube. 
Lily's parents Rowan and Sunetra divorced in November after 24 years of marriage. 
Together the former spouses also share 22-year-old son Benjamin.
