Who does the best fake American accent?

[Wilmer Digreux]

Have you ever been like me, and you're watching a movie or TV show and you're enjoying when person does thing and you got a good handle on things. Then you see an interview with person and they turn out to be a damn dirty foreigner and you're all like no. No. NO! and then you're all like ?


I have been fooled a few times sherbros. House fooled me. He got me. Had no idea he was a smelly Brit. For shame.

Beth Dutton on Yellowstone got me good. Never seen it coming. That accent of hers is so good it fooled an American ear. Two of them!


Who else talks good American?

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

Beth Dutton's is kind of more impressive than Hugh Laurie's even, because his is a non distinct, Midwest sort of accent. But that Dutton actress actually pulls off a convincing southern accent and that is rare even for American actors to get right

I heard that a southern accent is a slowed down British accent and a British accent is a sped up southern accent

I once heard Christian Bale speak during an interview and I was like wtf he's British!

Maybe. Maybe. But a British accent sounds 10x cooler to the average American

 

[Ardaric]

All of them there are no American actors anymore.

Yeah that's a weird one. His accent on SoA was really good

Then in that big robot movie it was one of the worst I've ever heard lol. It was probably being around Idris Elba's english-af-accent that threw him off

 

[RichardHarrow]

You yanks tell me. Idris Elba any good ?

 

[Osculater]

You yanks tell me. Idris Elba any good ?

Yeah, he sounds black

I've heard he was convincing in The Wire but I haven't seen it yet.

 

[Sycho Sid]

This was the first thing I saw him in. So when I watched an episode of Undeclared awhile later, and he was using his real accent, I thought his British accent was one of the most fake sounding accents I had ever heard.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Yeah, he sounds black

Black American ?

 

[Osculater]

Black American ?

Yup Black as hell

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

I didn’t know the guy from house was British u til I saw him on a talk show

 

[Bobby00]

Dominic West as Jimmy McNullty in the Wire. Never would have guessed that he is from England. Actually just assumed american until a few years back.

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

Didn't even know Christian Bale and Tom Hardy were from the UK so they win
