Never American accent?


How come no matter what role he plays, he's never required to put on his American accent like many English actors do (or vice versa), even when he's playing an American? Is it because his accent is part of what makes him appealing?

I like hugh grant btw, just something I've noticed

He had an American accent in "Our Sons" (1991) and "Cloud Atlas" (2012).

Americans don't have accents! We speak proper English!
