Before they were famous
A couple of weeks ago we had the chance to see and hear what Juan Diego Florez looked and sounded like at the age of 16. And now, again through the magic of YouTube, here’s a rare clip of Rolando Villazon as a boy soprano!

Good. So I’m not the only one who thought he looked weird.
Yes, Villazon isn’t very handsome. Thanks for driving home that fact.
Not really one of Rowan (Mr. Bean) Atikinson’s funnier bits. I’ll stick with Mr. Bean and Christmas – that’s a classic.
Thank you for proving that it’s Rowan Atkinson who looks like Rolando Villazon. This beats the youtube clip of Rolando channeling Corena–and I’ll bet Rolando would try pulling this off.
Okay, So Rolando’s a little funny-looking. He’s stilly pretty handsome.
For a Guy.
(As If I don’t get ENOUGH weird looks from my girlfriend when I log on here…)
I used to think Rowan was quite handsome in the later series of Blackadder.
Rolando bears a strong resemblance to rowan in the very first series.
