Huge trouble typing! The only thing I'm pretty sure about is that he's either Beta or Gamma - his Ni/Se is quite prominent to me.
He reminds me a bit of a TeNi teacher I used to have - and I guess that many of Rowan's visual cues can easily be interpreted as Te/Fi (fast and snippy talking and gestures, snarls(?), recurrent grimaces) - but he still radiates a sort of playful and dramatic energy that I've only experienced in Betas. Looking at this picture, I'm more for the latter:
He has to be a gamma, for sure. Lots of manic Ni/Se scowling, with Ni>Se due to the prevalent zone outs, and the eyes remaining droopy. Also, he certainly seems to have the dismissive Te>Fi vibe, with plenty of fast head nods, head shakes, brow raises, and some avalanching speech too, I think. His body seems quite rigid, and he gives off strong signals, which TheLogicFan always says is a good indication of lead articulation, so I'm gonna go with TeNi - not that I even have a clue.

I definitely think he has the functions Dreamer said. I'm new to this, so I haven't yet grasped how to figure out how to order them/type from there. Being a TeNi, however, I see a lot of similarities between Rowan Atkinson and me. He fits in well with the examples in the TeNi CT video on YouTube.
I promised myself i was going to stick to commenting on alphas but against my better judgement here i am with my 2 cents haha
I see Ni/Se especially in the way his upper eyelid droop over his eye while ge keeps the Ni scowl shape locked in to talk over his world view.
My guess here however is for Ti/Fe actually... Heres why
He seems to almost throw his facial features out there (other than his brow) and then they disappear. Even the use of the muscle used for Fi smiles seems to be more for effect than as the typical accidental cue.
I admittedly didnt watch terribly long and didn't really see him ACCUALLY smile. Also i forgot to watch for Ti pauses. Ill go take another look.
(Historically in my life i am often right the first time and wrong if i look again and change my mind lol... We'll see what happens here lol)

My guess is actually still beta after seeing one real tiny smile...
i also dont really see Ti pauses... But im not really sure what they would look like for somebody who always holds that Ni brow down like Rowan. It makes me wonder whats going on in the head of a beta... Why use internal thinking when you have Ni worldview? Ya know? Even if Rowan isnt a Beta supposedly they do exist haha so im sure ill have several more chances to think about this.
Admittedly i just dont have a real good Beta typing background so take this with a grain of salt
Mh, i think that gamma is right with him, i totally agree! But i'm not very convinced with TeNi. Actually, i'm leaning more toward SeFi, the more relaxed shade (like Natalie Portman and Jean Reno) :
He seems to show off lots of Se it this vide, and personally i don't find his posture so rigid.
Phisiognomically, he seems to share many similarities with other SeFis. --- edit: mh... i'm becoming less convinced that he's an SeFi, now i'm undecided between TeNi and SeFi. :S
This is a good case for me to learn the difference between TeNi and SeFi, as I have trouble differentiating between them, even with regard to myself. SeFi's and TeNi's seem to have the most obvious Fi tension happening around mouth/nose area. It's as if their mouth and nose have a life of their own. My younger son, brother and I all have that, and I'm quite sure they are both SeFi.
Hmm, what would you say are the most important differentiating factors between SeFi and TeNi? TeNi smile goes to their eyes? I have trouble seeing the difference even here, when looking at confirmed SeFi's and TeNi's. About the posture: E.g. Richard Feynman is also quite relaxed, and I personally am known of my flexible and slackish body posture and expressive face.
i was going to sleep, but i realized that after i started to have doubts about my opinion, i didn't share it when i should xD
MsLajlaa i presume that your points are probably correct. At first i saw SeFi, but i started to doubt about it as soon as i posted him in pinterest (i wrote "alt. TeNi"). I think i will just delete the pic and post it again after we will have some more consensus (and in my case clearer ideas) about him. This is the possible i can say for today, i'm literally falling asleep. xD
