How Juno Temple Keeps Her Essex And Minnesota Accents From Mingling

The amazing Juno Temple wows Stephen with her skillful transition from Minnesota accent, for her role in “Fargo,” to the heavy English accent she employs in her portrayal of Keeley in “Ted Lasso.” The final season of “Fargo” is streaming now on Hulu.

Juno Temple has been underrated for so many years in the past. I'm so happy that Ted Lasso and Fargo put her in a lot of people's radar and gave her the recognition she truly deserves. I hope she gets more big roles in the future, she's so talented

[@trond-oien]

Hear, hear!

[@Elwaves2925]

Yeah, she's been just under the radar for so many years now, it's great to see her getting time in the spotlight.

[@anonamouse.p4115]

Juno Temple is exquisite in FARGO. BRAVA x!

[@shawnuel]

So underrated that she gets one segment on The Late Show despite her career being fire right now and Clive Owen, who has been somewhat quiet lately, gets 2.

[@davidcwitkin6729]

Exactly!

[@walfredswanson]

One of the best efforts at a Minnesota accent I've ever heard from a non-native. She does not go for the exaggerated parodies so often used, but her vowels hit lightly on what one truly hears in Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota.

[@kurtsudheim825]

Even ger Essex wasn't full on, & that's for a sort of comedy where your more allowed to go a bit ott

[@kimberlycronen3998]

It felt a little forced to me, but she’s fabulous in general. 😊

[@NunchucksHabit]

It was great - but I found Richa Moorjani's accent to be the best, if we're comparing authenticity. Mary Winstead's was also incredible, Season 3. The original, Martin Freeman, was kind of a parody "Ahh, heck! ....just....HECK!", but dead-on. Kirsten Dunst in S2, I mean come on, that was remarkable. I'm always in awe of people who can adapt to accents. Though I believe him to be a sack of fecal matter, Jon Voight in the film "The General" did the north Dublin accent so well I can't believe it.

[@annettebeaulieu6056]

It is amusing or a little sad that everyone continues to expect a Minnesotan accent in Fargo, North Dakota?

[@wherethefugarwe]

@@annettebeaulieu6056 State lines aren't like TV channels, you don't change instantly crossing the line, dontcha know.

[@maryalice915]

I’m from Minnesota and I thought she nailed the accent perfectly! She’s such a cutie too 😊 Martin Freeman, another Brit, played in a previous Fargo series and he could also do the accent really well. They’re both such great actors. ❤

[@TabethaAurochs]

Juno's laugh-or her full on cackling 😅- it's awesome. Such a unique, talented woman ❤💐

[@MaxineShaw_84]

😂 GREAT laugh

[@Dingeraye1]

I was going to write the identical thing. She laughs with her whole person. Must have a tremendous sense of humour to have a laugh like that....

[@al28854]

her laugh reminds me of Minnie Driver

[@jamesm9995]

It’s hideous

[@howardzdenek98]

She was awesome in Fargo.

[@b-dub6865]

Yes!! I didn’t even realize it was her until last week.🤦🏻‍♀️ Ha. The last couple episodes, especially the finale, was a disappointment, tho. So deflating for such an excellent start to the season.

[@KingfisherTalkingPictures]

Her performance was stunning in an amazing season of the show.

[@ahorrell]

Dot Lyon is such a boss. She's so cool

[@catherine3684]

Incredible.

[@15Candles]

She led season 5 amazingly. Surpass everybody else, episode 8 might be the best from her. Season 5 is a comeback from the previous season

[@ChipCain]

Absolutely love her. Completely steals every scene in Fargo. Outstanding talent.

[@saintseymour]

in a series littered with one stunning performance after another -- she really stood out.

[@joegleason9821]

Dot was a great character.

[@MontyDK1]

Just finished the season yesterday ... it is brilliant, and Juno just stands out. The scene threatening her mother in law ... I went "Holy crap!"

[@vsznry]

Re-fell in love with her in The Offer. Her accent work is probably one of the best in Hollywood.

[@KingfisherTalkingPictures]

I really enjoyed her work on that show.

[@michaeljohn1978]

She had a similar role in Vinyl

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

The Offer was quite overlooked

[@Ernie1978]

I absolutely love Juno Temple. Such a talented beauty who exudes kindness. She has given us 3 brilliant roles in a row...The Offer, Ted Lasso, and Fargo. I hope she gets the Emmy for it this year!

[@hmm5131]

She's incredibly talented, I'll give you that, but to call anyone you're not personally close to a beauty is just objectifying and really, really weird and creepy.

[@Ernie1978]

@@hmm5131 You have issues. God bless you!

[@15Candles]

After seeing all episodes of Fargo Season 5, i'm so happy that Juno Temple led this season beautifully (and that's saying something given that Jon Hamm and Jennifer Jason Leigh, two bigger names than her were in the season with her too yet Juno was a huge stand out of the season for me, surpassed everybody else in season 5). She truly knocked it outta the park and her accent was quite amazing given that she's a British person aswell as the fact that she had to switch accent quicky from Ted Lasso to Fargo during filming. If she wins an Emmy for her role, i'd be so happy

[@b-dub6865]

She did! I loved her!! She was so good that I didn’t realize she was in Ted Lasso. (I stopped watching after 2 seasons). Season 5 of Fargo was great except for the last couple episodes, especially the finale which was a let down.

[@serpico1616]

As if you left out Dave Foley. FOR SHAME.

[@datgrrl5698]

Mansplaining, from a male from the states... could not be more incorrect...and Juno is english, not british...no, you are not intelligent enough to know the difference... knowledge is online and free of charge...cor blimey...

[@al201103]

@@b-dub6865 Really? I thought it was one of the best ending episodes I'd ever seen. I know there were certain...outcomes...that we were anticipating all the way through, which we didn't get. But I was fine with the alternative!!! And the final scene with Mook honestly brought a tear to my eye. Why weren't you keen? (inquiring, not challenging)

[@Martinbeef]

She should definitely have been the headline guest.I wish she had been given more time. What a star she is! I'm so pleased she came across so genuinely and sincerely. I love the contrast between her in Ted Lasso and Fargo; it just shows how talented she really is.

[@lakrids-pibe]

“i'm a tiny cucumber with anxiety."

[@retsub3]

Her portrayal in Fargo left me dumbfounded. Still processing the effect she left on me. The way masters of the craft can be so utterly convincing and spellbinding. Unreal. I just want to send her a massive bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket 💐🍊

[@Mupshot]

I love her character in Fargo, and how she darkly breaks it when she needs to. Brilliant

[@shawnuel]

It REALLY IS brilliant. Then, for Dot to show the empathy and grace she does to Munch at the end, is absolutely beautiful and moving. Shows a complete portrait of a person.

[@Mexzot]

Juno is my hero…one day! Being around that kind of energy is infectious and shes on my list of people I would have around the once in a lifetime dinner party…ha, along with Stephen Colbert!

[@emillion4470]

There are two types of stars; One who basically play themselves in every role and we love them for it. The other is actors like Juno Temple who disappear into character. She is beyond amazing in Fargo. She's the real deal.

[@MMConsultinggroup]

Juno Temple's an amazing actress. She's one of those actors that when I find out she's in a movie, I know I'm going to watch it, especially her indie films.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... one of those that when (...) they're* in a movie. "That" refers to "those" hence plural.

[@uwcb1]

Juno absolutely killed in this season of Fargo! Watching her with JJL/Hamm was a treat.

[@SingleTrackMined]

My favorite season of Fargo. Juno is SO SO GREAT! JJL and Hamm also but, oh my, that Juno Temple. Great work

[@KNEEYOLO]

She's a charming young lady. Wow!

[@FilmSureelist97]

I’ve been a fan of her since I saw her in St Trinians and Atonement. She has come a long way and is finally getting noticed. Fargo is her best role.

[@jamesgriffiths8835]

She has one of those really strange hybrid English-American accents, like Charlie Hunnam. It's neither one nor the other!

[@xhighone]

What a tiny little bag of joy. She's wonderful.

[@richboyprado]

I miss Ted lasso so much. The last series I watched start to finish with my mother

[@Phyto-Dragon-nb6it]

She's so real and humble. So cool.

[@al201103]

This season of Fargo was just perfection. Everyone was incredible. Would have liked to have heard Juno talk more about JJL. One of the few seasons of any show where I was tempted to just watch it all again from the start. And my lord, that final episode was astounding.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Well, that puppet dream episode was complete nonsense and unnecessary same as quite a few murders that did nothing for the story. But the final scene made up for all of it.

[@robertconklin4657]

She should definitely win for Fargo or it’s rigged. Outstanding performances by her, Hamm and JasonLeigh

[@ahorrell]

I've never seen Ted Lasso, but Dorothy Lyon is one of the best characters I've seen in ages. Fargo season 5 is great!

[@susanhowie2796]

I loved when Lenny came up to her!!! I was so excited and happy when I saw that. That's my dream. I want to meet Lenny❤️

[@mirrorblue100]

Great actress and seems like a normal, relatable person.

[@hammun6]

When I first heard her speak as Juno, I was really surprised by the fact that she did not have an Essex accent and that she is a Brit raised in L.A. so her accent is really unique. Maybe that's why she eventually succeeded in transitioning to a Minnesota accent and did it flawlessly as well. She's enormously talented.

[@rebeccamellin8599]

she wasnt raised in LA, she grew up in somerset UK. she lived in LA with her parents for a couple years as a toddler but grew up in the south of England and did all her schooling there. she then moved to the US when she was twenty trying to ditch all the school girl roles she was getting and became an indie starlet in the states but never becoming a house hold name until ted lasso

I first found out about her a while back ago in the film Killer Joe. She's been doing amazing work ever since. Fargo S5 was so good. Highly recommend

[@Elwaves2925]

Killer Joe was the first thing I saw her in. I'd heard of her before that for being part of the St Trinian's movies but never watched them.

[@Magdalena8008s]

Killer Joe was my first experience of her. She only gets better and better. She'll have an Oscar one day.

[@anniebunny722]

I actually first saw her as the red headed teenage cousin in Atonement with Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, Saoirse Ronan, and Benedict Cumberbatch. And then when I saw her in Ted Lasso, I had to do a double take and say, “Is that really the same girl?” She’s mega talented and I hope she continues to shine.

[@stevegordon8474]

There are a lot of great things about FARGO Season 5. As well as Juno Temple's amazing performance, she mentioned two others: Jennifer Jason Leigh (still under-appreciated to the wider public) and Jon Hamm (playing Juno's character's nemesis). If the subtext for the season is the strength of women against the brutality of men, these 3 actors totally embody that. A very powerful and gripping season, perhaps the best yet.

[@JamieRaye]

A master of her craft, Juno is. She's always been great but I'm so glad that Ted Lasso brought her into more peoples' awareness. I love the fact that when Jason Sudeikis contacted her about the part of Keeley, she was pretty sure he got a hold of the wrong person because she hadn't been known as a comedic actress...ever....at that point in her career. She's just so excellent and her laugh is what dreams are made of
