Claire Foy Shows Off Her Accent Skills in 'Heads Up'

From Canadian to Valley Girl, Claire Foy showed Ellen her excellent accent and dialect skills in a round of "Heads Up." Plus, the Emmy winner chatted about working as Ryan Gosling's wife in "First Man," and why she didn't look him directly in the eyes.

Daytime American show to boot.

as an italian, I was not being offended at all by her italian accent - until the "i'd like some spaghetti in my cappuccino" came 😂😂

[@rb6006]

No Italian never: Like no one: Nether under threat of death: Claire Foy: I want some spaghetti in my cappuccino

I'm Canadian and the only time I say 'ABOOT' is when somebody asks me what's on my foot!

[@armchairguru1921]

No we don't! We say a-bowt as in cow!

[@sherryb1083]

Thank you 😁🇨🇦

[@ro_ses]

When I first moved to Canada, I actually did notice a lot of Canadians said “aboat”. But the longer I’ve been here, the less I notice it now. So maybe you’re just accustomed to it? Its definitely not as strong as they made it in the video for sure.

[@rosieglows]

@@armchairguru1921 😂😂😂😂 that took my brain WAY too long to register. I wish I could show the neurons overworking to get that.

[@Aman-kx5gd]

@@ro_ses​It actually depends, all Canadians don't speak the same way, there are dialectal variations, in Southern Ontario, we speak just like Americans and pronounce 'about' like Americans (General American accent).

Why is it when a British person talks they sound 4000% times more intelligent than all of us???? 🤯🥰

actually her italian was good, at least better than other people who do italian accent by imitating "it's me mario" kind of sound.

[@Louminosus]

agreed, quite a realistic italian accent

[@Menyceprod]

😂 😂 😂 At "It's me Mario"

[@rossanafioravanti8526]

Dont agree...that was a funny mix of Greek Spanish Italian whatever she thought could sound Southern European....Viggo Mortensen recently performed quite well his Italian accent in Green Book...I know Foy had to do that spot on...so she has to practice ! Love her btw 😉

[@flowolf2549]

As european, her accent was good. Italian speaking italian. But americans used to hear italian accent as mob brooklyn accent. So different.

[@carlav2849]

I didn't mean to judge on a professional level, it wasn't a prepared job with a dialect coach, of course... But still better than the "Mario accent" Americans usually imitate... I'm 100% Italian, living in Italy.

Funny that Ellen thinks she's good at guessing accents. French was on point and she was wondering "is that French???" 😂 And she absolutely failed when she had the Gibberish girl on the show, who was brilliant - and Ellen didn't guess a single language. 😂We still love you, Ellen!
