Renee Zellweger this acclaimed actress is from Texas but you'd never think that if you watch Bridget Jones's Diary oh no no no it's in London at a party last night so I'm afraid I'm a bit hungover wish I could be lying with my head in the toilet that I call normal people while native Brits might be picky about capturing their accent it seems that Renee Zellweger's work in the series passes the test her efforts shift effortlessly from rom-coms in England to period dramas like Cold Mountain for the hit adaptation of Chicago the actress moves into a northern American dialect without skipping a beat Zellweger also delivers in her oscar-winning role as Judy Garland in the biopic Judy [Music] it was just one of those things no matter the part this performer manages to convince us all that she's a completely different person number 15. Tom Holland in case you didn't know Tom Holland is a British actor she doesn't know nobody knows why me Mrs snark knows because he made my suit but that's it you may not have realized this if you're only familiar with him in Spider-Man his take on Peter Parker perfectly captures the personality of a New York teen he's also able to slip into accents such as his West virginia-based character in The Devil all the time excuse me preacher got time for a sinner these skills aren't just a one-off either considering he also plays an American accent in the war film Cherry from the boyish energy of Parker to his work in gritty dramas this movie star proves that he's built for Voice work in more than just superhero Adventures number 14.

Riz Ahmed I see these paddling whether he's acting rapping or making a difference for Refugee children there isn't much this talented performer hasn't done of course most of us know him from his roles in TV shows like girls and his incredible performance in the night of a mini-series which earned him an Emmy for Outstanding lead actor in a limited series or movie so look and don't look someone in the eye how am I supposed to do that others others leave our ears born in Wembley London speak in his native English accent I'm good man yeah just got into La last night oh you did from where uh from London number nine Margot Robbie yeah I still have family over there though in London mayanama very British you know he's a classy lady ever since this actress's breakthrough role in 2013's The Wolf of Wall Street we've had a bad case of Robbie fever couple that with roles like Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad and her oscar-nominated turn is Tanya Harding in I Tonya we can see why she's become one of the world's highest paid actresses I knew I was the best figure skater in the world at one point in time however fans of her films might be surprised to learn that Robbie was actually born in dalby in Queensland Australia and that most of her earlier work was an Australian Independent films and the soap opera neighbors um but you are Australian where did you grow up on the Gold Coast uh but I grew up in the hinterland part of the Gulf Coast number eight KJ APA that means you haven't known the triumphs and defeats the Epic highs and lows of high school football this teen heartthrob has turned more than a few heads since his breakthrough role in 2017 as Archie and the drama series Riverdale that same year he also starred in A Dog's Purpose and followed up in 2018 with the hate U give and in 2019 the last summer you're way more important than that to me okay in a very short period he's collected Teen Choice People's Choice and Saturn Award nominations like they're going out of style many people were shocked when they first saw him in television interviews and discovered that despite his solid American accent he's actually a kiwi born in Auckland New Zealand I think yeah there's not really it's hard to kind of put into words how that makes me feel number 7. Rosamund Pike I was 18. this accomplished actress starred in numerous successful films and television series in the UK long before American audiences caught wind of her we're talking about roles like her award-winning performance for The Libertine and her classic Jane Bennett in Pride and Prejudice but for some reason it was only when she appeared as the cool Amy Elliott Dunn in 2014's Gone Girl the North American audiences really sat up and took notice but then we never really existed Nick loved a girl I was pretending to be cool girl her American accent was so Flawless in the film that viewers were surprised to hear her real London accent in interviews soon afterwards it's true I I am I'd done a few auditions and it got to the point of having a screen test number six Andrew Lincoln lately whenever I try everything I say makes her impatient like she didn't want to hear it after all it's hard to imagine this ruggedly handsome actor as anyone but Rick Grimes the lead character in The critically acclaimed show The Walking Dead this small town southern share of Charmed audiences around the world and his portrayal was honored several times with Saturn Awards people out there are always looking for an angle looking to play on your weakness many TWD fans were therefore surprised to learn that the southern Hero at the center of the horror television series was actually played by an actor born in London England roles in which his native accent can be heard included the British sitcom teachers and 2003's love actually no one ever asked you so you've never been able to talk about it even though you might have wanted to no no no no no no absolutely not number five Tony Collette my mother was a very secretive and private woman younger audiences may know Tony Collette best for her recent work in the horror film hereditary for others her name brings to mind her award-winning portrayal of Cheryl and Little Miss Sunshine or the role of Tara in TV's United States of Tara which won her in Emmy and Golden Globe wait a minute I thought you said this was a done deal he said it was a done deal well you didn't get anything however her breakthrough role was actually in the 1994 Australian comedy drama Muriel's Wedding for which she achieved critical Acclaim including a Golden Globe nomination in that film you can hear the actual accent of the sydney-born Australian native I I know I'm not normal but I'm trying to change I'm trying to become more like you number four Andrew Garfield I don't know we could I don't know we could uh or we could do something else or we could if you don't we could yeah so him best as Spider-Man other from his more serious dramatic roles such as Desmond Doss and hacksaw Ridge and Sebastian Rodriguez in scorsese's silence either way there's no doubt that Andrew Garfield is a talented actor and adding to his impressiveness is just how impeccable his American accent is you better lawyer up cause I'm not coming back for 30 I'm coming back for everything although born in the U.S Garfield's family moved to England when he was three years old and he was raised in Surrey you can go back in his filmography to older award-winning performances like that of John Crowley in the television film boy a to hear his actual English accent what's wrong with being Spider-Man no nothing wrong with being Spider-Man but with a great power comes great responsibility Stephen and that's all I'm going to say number three Idris Elba all right docs this is real good to have you back but when is Millburn in five field aren't they back yet he can write he can rap he can sing and boy can he act of course we knew the man was a talented actor from the moment we saw him playing Stringer Bell in The Wire utility about a week ago I guess unless you're gonna go see the cop seeing him in flicks like American Gangster and Prometheus simply cemented our conviction that elbow was brilliant but realizing that the Flawless American accents he'd used were actually a cover for his London accent now that was definitive proof of his talent we've since really enjoyed hearing his natural voice especially as showcased in shows like BBC one's Luther this ain't just a cereal this man's on a murder spree number two Christian Bale I'm Batman many of us felt completely and utterly tricked the first time we heard Bale's actual accent the product of a childhood spent in Wales and in Surrey endorse it in England but could you blame us American Psycho American Hustle even the man's movies scream American impressive very nice not to mention that this incredible actor has played the iconic American superhero Batman American Cowboys like the one in 310 to Yuma and many real-life Americans including Vice President Dick Cheney in 2018's Vice we still have a hard time believing that his accent in the prestige is more or less his natural one yeah oh maybe I'm just biting myself big new be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get

one Hugh Laurie there's no such thing our bodies break down sometimes when we're 90 sometimes before we're even born but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it playing a character for eight years on a TV show has a way of changing the way people perceive you at least that was Lori's experience playing Dr Gregory House on house in a role that won him numerous accolades and awards and the distinction of being the most watched leading man on TV at the time yes I had noticed your complete indifference however Lori had previously enjoyed quite a prolific career in the UK especially as part of a comedic duo with Stephen Frye can't you tell me how to be happy now to be happy how to be happy I'm afraid that information is restricted despite his prolific acting work in his native British accent his American accent on house is the way many still remember him basic truth of The Human Condition everybody lies the only variable is about what did you enjoy this video
