Some of the USA's biggest stars hit the big time by pretending to be American...and doing it so well that many don't know they're faking. (ft. Keith Urban, Henry Cavill, and Def Leppard)
You had me chuckling from your opening line. I'd never questioned the fact that Henry Cavill was Superman. I forgot he also played the quintessential British role of Henry VIII. He seemed so natural as an American hero. Fooled me!
Thank you! Andrew Lincoln is another one I mentioned who hops between accents, of course...but let's not talk too much about his (kinda creepy) role in Love Actually.
I’ve had so many faves I thought were American who weren’t. I can catch it sometimes, though. My best call was Hugh Laurie. Something about the way he lisped when he said the word “bitch”… 😒 This was a fun read. Thanks for sharing.
When oh when will Americans be able to fool the world?? I’m going to work on my Lancashire accent. Wish me luck.

Oh right! I never saw The Walking Dead so he'll always be the creepy best friend (terrible friend) to me 😆

Hugh is another good example! And thank you :)
You try that, I'll start work on a Minnesota accent, and we'll see who's more convincing first...
