100 Americans attempt to do their best British accent
A hundred Americans have a go at doing their best British accent – and it results in a lot of usage of the c-word (crumpets) in what might be the worst butchery of the British accent since Don Cheadle’s stab at cockney in Ocean’s 11.
Here’s Cockney Cheadle, in case you’d repressed the memory.
And here’s Josh Hartnett’s attempt at a Yorkshire accent in the 2001 film Blow Dry.
In the spirit of fairness, British actors can also make a mouthful of American accents. Here’s Ray Winstone doing a Boston (?) accent in 2006’s The Departed.
Adam & Joe have some great insight into Winstone’s accent work.
