There's like a hint of Irish in there sometimes but does anyone else think he has a really strange accent?

[Will.]

yeah, I keep thinking USA/ Irish.

[Josy]

Yeah I noticed that, you can hear some irish and american coming through at times but all in all it's pretty indescribable, I think it must be due to him living in various locations.

[InOne]

I always thought he'd grown up in the UK mainly

[JoshBB]

Yeah it's very mixed up.

[tt4079]

Its mixed up but you can see why it charms the knickers of the ladies.

[Jason.]

I like his accent. It's cute.
It's not one of those annoying American ones, like Perez.

[BigSister]

Yeah its Irish/American mixed I remember thinking that yesterday when he was talking to Perez

I am exactly the same. After 42 years of marriage to a Yorkshire lass I am pretty much Englified but certain words and phrases keep coming through and when I meet a fellow Ulsterman, I flip back to full blown Irish. My wife goes nuts at some of our phrases, her favourite is the Ulster for a cone or wafer ice cream, we call them a slider or a poke.

Me too and I also don't remember him having that accent a few years ago. It sounds mostly American to me but it's confusing.

[lostalex]

It sounds 90% American. It sounds like Madonna's accent to me.

I'm a Yorkshire lass married to a Dane and after 26 years he has aquired a Yorkshire accent, whilst I have, according to some, aquired a German accent when I speak Danish!!

I speak both Swedish and obviously Danish with a bit of a Yorkshire accent as well, lol. I spent 3 years in Jonkoping and 2 yrs in Aarhus many moons ago.

I suppose some people change their accents in order to fit in. Maybe with putting on an American twang it was easier to get down with Lohan and her mates!

Wasn't he raised in America? I always remember him having an American accent, his mother is American I think

I guess I realise now I know pretty much nothing about him LOL. I'll wiki it.

[InOne]

Said he moved to the UK when 21. So probably explains the mix

I watched him in Love Island years ago and he definitely had an American accent then

Irish-American accents can work very well but he's nowhere near mastered it yet.

I like Aarhus, especially the old town. We live in Sønderborg near the German border. Swedish I find very difficult to understand, while I can read it fine. Norwegian on the other hand is easy to understand, but difficult to read. As for Finnish...forget it. I think it was made up by a bunch of people out of their minds on Wodka!!

[rionablue]

Im am Irish and I haven't heard even a HINT of an irish accent. I reckon its mainly American as he spent so much of his life over there.

Aarhus was brill. I used to go the length of schola gata (cant spell it now) every weekend and a drink in each pub was impossible, lol.

How many pubs were there
I see your location is Leeds. I'm from Skipton originally, so we were almost neighbours. I remember 50 years ago the nightlife in Leeds was fantastic. Is it still?

I've noticed it's strangeness even more now that he's started arguing in a bit. He'll also use British phrases that just don't seem to come out right with his American twang.
