from another country initially?
I SWEAR I detect an accent at times when he says certain lines like the Marky Mark tree line, the way he says "celebrity tree" sounds English/British
It is easier to critique than create
According to Wikipedia, he's American but he parents are from England. He may have picked up a bit of an accent from them.
shareThank you!
Guess since it was his second movie he might've still had a slight one cuz he sounds totally different now lol

Why would he have a British accent, even if his parents were British? He was born and raised in the US, mainly in Missouri (huge Kansas City Royals fan) and graduated from the University of Kansas. When he was in his twenties, he did attend drama school in the UK for a bit, but he never lived there long enough to acquire an accent. (Your main accent is set by the time you're 12, anyway.)
Kids who are born/raised in the US to foreign parents don't have the accent of their parents. I have a friend who is from Puerto Rico (as is her husband) and their daughters were born here and don't have a trace of a Spanish accent; they sound like any American kid.

Oh I don't know? Perhaps from his parents teaching him to speak the first 2-3 years of his life. Or you know growing up around them. I'm sure it's common to pick up a bit of a twang.
shareI live in Texas and a relative here once babysat for a kid with a British mother and her child had a slightly british accent once he started to speak. I don't know how he sounds now but I don't know why it is difficult to believe that even living in America that a child would pick up on some of the nuances of their parents accent.

It does actually happen. One of my best friends is Australian, was born and raised in Australia, but her Mum is Canadian and she has an insanely thick Canadian accent. Like, you would think she grew up in Canada. People always ask her where she's from and she's like '...Australia.' It's fairly hilarious.
shareHappens all the time. There's this Filipino American kid who was born and raised in California but his parents are from the Philippines so he had a very slight Filipino accent at times. Mel Gibson is another, he grew up in Australia but his original Australian accent wasn't very thick, it had an American flair to it even before his sent transitioned completely into American later on.

Nope. He grew up around other Asian Americans who weren't necessarily Filipino and other white kids.

I'm from the midwest, born and raised, all my life. All of my family is from the midwest. Yet somehow I ended up with a slight English accent, though none of my family has it. This is because I used to play around with accents as a child, and it rubbed off. I also utilize very good diction. It's kind of shocking when I meet people for the first time, and they ask if I grew up in England or had English parents.

I'd depends on different things. I have friends from Scotland who live in Asia, their kids born in Asia. Their kids don't have the local accent but sound Scottish sometimes with that mid Atlantic twang thrown in for good measure. They are not the only ones either.

Yeah, I totally heard his slight affectation on "celebrity tree." It makes sense that his parents are British.
