We've all heard bad movie accents that make our skin crawl, but these American and canadian actors doing British accents go a step too far. For this list we are focusing on those Americans who do bad British accents in movies, from those who struggle with certain words to those who simply cannot grasp the British tongue whatsoever. Popular examples of this famously include Dick Van Dyke from "Mary Poppins", James Franco from "Your Highness" and pretty much any film featuring Keanu Reeves as a Brit. But which one takes the number one spot on our list? Watch our video to find out.
00:40 #10: James Franco “Your Highness” (2011)
01:39 #9: Lindsay Lohan “The Parent Trap” (1998)
02:36 #8: Natalie Portman “V for Vendetta” (2005)
03:28 #7: Dick Van Dyke “Mary Poppins” (1964)
04:20 #6: Anne Hathaway “One Day” (2011)
05:12 #5: Shia LaBeouf “NYMPH()MANIAC” (2013)
06:02 #4: Josh Hartnett “Blow Dry” (2001)
06:45 #3, #2, #1: ?
Special thanks to our users Drew Boxall, Alice Kingsley, Kelly Wilson, Tristan Hartup, Dan Paradis, CrazyJoshCravy and Alan Sunter for submitting the idea on our interactive suggestion tool: WatchMojo.com/suggest

Um no. I'm assuming you're American or Canadian not English. To a native English person some of these are particularly awful. And there are many English accents (plus various Scottish, Welsh and Irish) and they differ considerably. You just haven't heard them all and some of them are harder to imitate. As for Lohan she was only a kid at the time. But there again, a good English/British stage school/child actor can probably pull of a convincing American accent.

As an English person, honestly, Lindsay Lohan's was a little odd sounding, but forgivable because she was young. Natalie Portman's is perfectly fine, just too posh for the role. She sounded completely English, but it almost sounds like her dialogue coach wasn't teaching her the right kind of accent for the film.

@GamingDrummer89 4 жыл бұрын

I'm surprised they didn't put Natalie Portman's accent from her role as Queen Amidala in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace here...her accent was pretty terrible in that role, though I didn't come to notice until YEARS later (I was 10 when this movie was released and I saw it in theaters a couple or three months later...my discernment then was practically non-existent). Not as bad as some others here (James Franco), but still noticeably off to the point where it's awkward to listen to.

As far as the singing part goes, British people don't always sing in their normal accents, some of the best singers never do no matter where they are from. Example: If someone did not know before the fact that Adele was British and only heard her sing they could easily mistake her for an American. George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Phil Collins are a few more who I don't pick up a particularly accented performance from, they find what is unique and iconic for them.

I feel sorry for Dick Van Dyke in this aspect. Nobody on the cast told him that "the accent needed a little improvement". But, I'm thinking it's because he's a great guy to work with AND that he's doing the best job possible. That's why in Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang, Dick decided to make the movie, on the condition that he doesn't have to use a fake accent

The United Kingdom isn't a country, and neither is Britain, despite what many people believe. The UK is a kingdom (hence the kingdom in its name) which includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Island. I hate when people get mixed up. It's simple geography, but America still refuses to learn it. P.S. I mostly agree with your statement, but if an actor is able to use a convincing accent, then they should still be hired. It's only when an accent is bad that a person from that country is needed. Rant officially over

@jessicataylor7174 7 жыл бұрын

I completely disagree as that is not necessary. Get actors who have the training and/or ability to learn accents, hire an accent and dialect coach and most importantly give them sufficient time to work on it. The major reason behind poor performance with accents is the actor not having enough time to perfect it and the directors/producers saying, "It'll do". Actors frequently need to learn new skills for roles, they're usually allowed sufficient time for this. Accents for some reason get little or no time allocated then the actor and film are criticised.
