Everyone else? God? Could you please speak for yourself like an adult?

I’m Dutch. Rutger Hauer does not have a regional accent; his accent is very standard, from the Holland part of the Netherlands. He grew up in Amsterdam and his parents were actors, and Rutger went to acting school. His parents probably had a very neutral accent, and if Rutger hadn’t already copied that then acting school would have surely taught him to speak “proper” Dutch. What you might have noticed is that in this interview he speaks very casually, as if talking to a friend. I suspect that when ‘mainstream pronunciation’ is taught, everything is enunciated a bit too well and certain sounds such as the G are much exaggerated.

@@Brinta3 thank you for your detailed comment!

@@MrJonahWhaler Additional explanation: The famous and brilliant football player Johan Cruijff was born only three years after Rutger Hauer and also grew up in Amsterdam. Cruijff spoke with a very strong Amsterdam accent his entire life. The difference is that Cruijff came from a working class family and neighbourhood. After primary school, Cruijff went to the ULO (a secondary school level, but Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs literally translates to Extended Primary Education). Lower school level = stronger working class accent. In contrast, Rutger Hauer came from a more posh family (or at the least much less working class, it depends on your definition of posh) and neighbourhood. He was an intelligent guy and in the end got his Bachelor of Arts at the Academy for Theater and Dance. I’m guessing he never ever, even in his youth, picked up an Amsterdam accent but always spoke with the Standard Dutch accent because of his family and the nice schools he went to. *By the way, I believe Johan Cruijff was actually pretty smart. But who knows what happened… back then, there wasn’t much attention for learning disorders or students’ specific needs. Maybe he was just naturally poor at spelling or maths, or had difficulty with concentration, or perhaps he was a very naughty boy with zero interest in school. In his days such things usually meant you were considered stupid. Nowadays we recognise learning disorders and try to work around it. ULO is really low, and Cruijff definitely wasn’t dumb.

@@Brinta3 kom op now redefinition of estimated 3/4 of the curiculums needed across the whole school systems i mean i get why the academics wanted to hold on to their religion of lies for misplaced pride money career status and let´s not forget the immense peer pressure of playing along or yr out but at some point it has to break alone all for the children this is very wrong now and nobody´s talkin bout this we all been lied too about the basic fundamentals and that too what they made the all the other lies made fit and connect but it cannot go on like this it was more unawareness first maybe now it´s becoming more highly criminal by the day with the knowing and full knowing it´s false and corrupt n.b and if one looked just one or two layers deeper in it´s full on structured with nummerology and meanings straight out of the satanic corner not to make it extra sausy but those are the facts

As a Dutchman myself I was actually used to Paul speaking Dutch because _Floris_ was his debut as a director way before he went international after an American filmmaker saw _Soldier of Orange._ He went to the US because he felt he was too limited in this country and Rutger felt the same way.

Yup. Most men would be I reckon.

Same with Stallone. But with Harrison it could've been that He didn't care much for Sci fi and was miserable. He said so in a interview once.

You are bingeing on this Interviews. I so get it. I Miss Blue eyes too..

th 11I is 1111

Ik had toch graag een volledige serie gezien. Floris wint zijn kasteel terug en trouwt met die gravin.
