Captain Beany

Captain Beany (born Barry Kirk c. 1954〔) is a Welsh eccentric and charity fundraiser in Sandfields, Port Talbot, Wales.
==Biography==
Kirk worked in the computer department of the British Petroleum chemical plant in Baglan, Neath Port Talbot. In May 1991, he changed his name by deed poll to Captain Beany. He began painting his face and bald head orange, donned a golden cape, pants, gloves and boots. To date, Captain Beany claims to have raised over £100,000 for charity through participation in various events, such as the New York Marathon.〔
In September 2005 Beany was convicted and fined £200 for fraudulently claiming £2,700 in income support.〔(Bean campaigner's benefit fraud ), ''BBC News''. Published September 1, 2005. Retrieved October 10, 2015.〕 In 2006, Beany appeared on the BBC programme, ''Let Me Entertain You''.
In September 2008, Beany climbed Snowdon carrying baked beans in aid of cancer research.〔〔Castle, Samantha. (Snowdon set for baked bean charity challenge ), ''Caernarfon Herald''.

When Selfridges sold a similarly named product, Captain Beany earned a percentage of the sales under a licensing agreement.〔(Bars are a sweet deal for Beany ), ''South Wales Evening Post''.
