I love British accents.
Actually, let me clarify that. I love British accents on authentically British people. I violently detest British accents on people like, say, Madonna.
The dumbest person in England can come to America and automatically sound like he’s a rocket scientist, because there is just something about the accent that makes it sound very smart.
I just read an interview (in Interview Magazine) in which Emma Thompson (LOVE HER) interviews Hugh Laurie (LOVE HIM). And yes - that’s them in the photo above, along with some other people. They have fantastic banter and they use words like “prodigious” and “betokens” and “misanthropist” and “chamber.” And they don’t use them in an Ashley Judd way - they just genuinely naturally use those words as part of their casual conversation. I love it so much.
Did you know they used to date? I did not. And actually, Hugh prefers to use the term “stepped out.” LOVE.
Anyway, jump in to read the full interview. I think it’s totally worth it.
