What is his accent in this movie?


He has an interesting twang in his accent in this that's kind of similar to David Thewlis. Did Joe put on the same accent for his character or is he from the same area as Thewlis?

Anyone know? Anyone? Bueller?

reply

Curious myself.

Nice one with the Bueller reference.

"Did he say 'Making f-ck'?"

reply

It's a yorkshire accent, pretty northern - maybe Leeds/Hudds/Barnsley?

reply

Scandal! Don't let a Lancashire man hear you say that!

Joe's actually a Lancy, a Chorley boy.

I can't see you calling anyone from our area a Yorkshire lad and getting away with it....

Yup thats a chorleh accent alright!!!

reply

Not Yorkshire at all! lol, Wrong county, Lancashire.
I know he is from Chorley, it sounded similar to a Bolton accent (He reminded me of Patrick McGuinness) but they are close to each other though

It was odd this film as it had a complete mix of accents i dont any 2 were the same! its quite nice that actually though.
