Wonky British accents. Chicken soup for the soul.

Here is (Minnesota born) Josh Hartnett chatting up Rachael Leigh Cook in the 2001 smash hit, Blowdry.

We are asked to believe that he is Yorkshire born, and bred.



He delivers a sequence of about four or five words, during which I struggle to decipher a single one. Check out how squirmy and uncomfortable he is wit
h the whole sorry affair; it's all in the eyebrows. How he slipped through casting is a mystery. A funny, funny mystery.

Then again, if Josh got his schooling from the following voice coach, who offers British accent tutorials on YouTube's 'expertvillage' - perhaps it's not such a tough
case to crack. (Thank you to Adam and Joe).






So then...

...Bobbah?


...Coffah?

Excuse mah.

I'm off for a nice cup of Tah, maybe a chocolate brownah, and to settle down with an exciting movah.
