Rose Byrne Shows Off Her American Accent

The Australian actress showed Ellen her talent for accents!

[@OrangeN00dle]

First, I thought she was American, then British. When really she's Australian. I like her.

She's a great actress in horror and in comedy. She's so versatile.

[@plm3d]

I've noticed that Australians can imitate most foreign accent while most foreigners have a really hard time doing an Australian accent.

[@FadzaiSimango]

Tom C I can do an Aussie accent (or specifically New South Wales if you're looking for distinction between the states) but I lived there briefly so that's probably why

[@mortaza9100]

Not Irish that we cant 😂

Mango accents differ along class more than region in Australia

[@maggiemckinnon6909]

Your right we can

[@spacep0d]

I do an amazing Aussie accent, vetted by Aussies themselves. I can kinda do a NZ accent too, and I use the same phrase 'fush and chups' to get myself started. ;) Aussie accents are easy.

[@myelectricdrug]

Idk why but Rose Byrne reminds me of an older version of Emma Watson!

[@29AndreG]

She's the Australian Emma Watson.

[@HammadKhan-fy6je]

I've always known she's an Australian. Even when she talked in an American accent it was clear she was an Australian. She's so cute. And gorgeous. She and Anna Kendrick would make a perfect dream team.

[@itosssaladz1856]

Hammad Khan Oh yay you knew she was Australian all along, want a fucking cookie?

[@whitedonut950]

[@janetta98]

'That was a hilarious movie...' -yet Ellen had no idea she played Aussie in the film.

[@skullcrushed1216]

Exactly XD

[@gloworm106]

It's like when Ellen told Kristen Wiig that she saw The Skeleton Twins and said it was "hilarious." Ellen obviously didn't watch it.

[@_Maxten]

she does that a lot. she'll be like "whats the name of your book again?" and then be like "amazing read, yall should check it out"

[@parkerparks8004]

She obviously has ppl on her show to promote them you guys act like she’s supposed to be like “didn’t watch it, it probably sucks”

[@LennonTheBunny]

Not sure why Ellen is so surprised by this ability. Portia is Australian and speaks with an American accent.

[@demibellini6915]

Lennon The Bunny lol she can’t say “anything” though. I always noticed it in Scandal. It’s the one word she can’t say.

[@TheZackBriggs]

Wonderwall British and Australians doing American accents tend to pronounce "anything" as "enna-thin."

[@minikaminija1069]

Really?

[@Nehmi]

Portia does the same thing.

[@mjs28s]

"Not sure why Ellen is so surprised by this ability. Portia is Australian and speaks with an American accent." Perhaps you need to consider that this is a talk show and in order to make the conversation interesting to viewers hosts sometimes ask about or converse about things that they already know the answers to but the audience may not.

[@skibby7355]

I live in New Zealand and it sounds different depending on where you live but she pretty much nailed it.

[@skibby7355]

I WENT TO AMERICA FOR SIX WEEKS AND I CANT STOP SAYING YALL

[@ForzaTerra89]

Yis bro, she wus sweet as. It's harder to impersonate the South Island accents I think. I'm used to JAFA's as a Brit living in Sydney

[@h1a1n1n1a1h]

Im a New Zealander and I find that our accents are such a mixture and have no consistency when it comes to pronouncing letters that it makes sense that it isn't easy to imitate.

[@hamsternuggetz]

Skibby she did do so well though

[@jadamay3396]

Skibby I say y’all everyday omg😂

[@Marcousse]

Does anyone think Rose Byrne also kinda looks like Jessica Alba, even just a bit? or its only me

[@andresvillagomez1474]

In this interview she does,not as much though in her movies. I guess she looks more like her when she has more make up on.

[@Marcousse]

well, thanks for noticing as well! :)

[@f0rever1]

not really. i think she's prettier than alba.

[@501archer]

Ellen's southern accent has been diluted from all her years of living in LA but you can still hear some of it from time to time, depending on what she says and to whom she's talking. I think it comes out more when she's talking to another southerner. I'm originally from the northeast but lived in "the deep south" for 10 yrs as a kid and even though I've since moved far away, I still hold strong to the "y'all." I totally agree with Ellen - it's just so much more inclusive than "you guys" and rolls off the tongue easier than "you all." I managed to drop most of my southern colloquialisms but "y'all" is going to stay with me for life!

[@o.m9514]

I love her acting, she will always be the most iconic character.

[@Originella]

Ellen just casually raising her hand hahaha

[@firebaby7]

i didn't know she was australian until a couple of weeks ago, but i always thought she was british! lol even before jackie q, i thought she was british...

[@user-wx3ln8yq1b]

firebaby7 we emigrated from england so our accents are very similar

[@johnfuscojpgr]

R.B. is a class-act talent & personality! Any 'ole' accent she wishes will do !

[@ToraydoBull]

I think it's much easier to do an American accent as an Aussie or Brit since their accents are effectively one or the hardest to imitate. Just the other day I was watching Daredevil and Charlie Cox had such a perfect American accent that I completely forgot he was Brit. On the other hand, I've heard Anne Hathaway completely butcher the British accent before.

[@johnfuscojpgr]

ToraydoBull Nicholas Nickleby'/One Day/Anne Hatheway ? Fine actress but accents are not her strong suit...

[@katiewilkinson5593]

I'm Australian and I thought she was British😄

[@spacep0d]

Hilarious. Ellen is genuinely funny. Rose Byrne is hawt, and does a perfectly undetectable American accent. I wanted to hear her do a Southern accent too. I loved Byrne's imitation of the Kiwis....the 'fush and chups' line was something I learned playing WoW with a bunch of Kiwis and I was able to discern their accents from the Aussies quite easily after a while. Plankton broooooooooooo!

[@eth8285]

She's so gorgeous

[@ralphw3636]

What a lovely person. Rose Byrne is incredible. She is so pretty.

[@Charmer4856]

I cant decide which accents I love more. English, Scottish or Australian. I do love how the English talk so proper and stuck up, the lingo is funny.

[@YenellyT]

I figured out that she was Australian as soon as I started watching the movies

[@tommyb4304]

I love how Ellen just slipped right into the southern accent when she needed to. Rep the south, darlin’!

[@kazabushy]

I love Rose Byne. The Ozi accent is the one the Great Meryl Streep can't master.

[@Tr0nzoid]

I first heard of her as an Australian actress and knew she would be in "Attack of the Clones," and have watched all her Australian movies. I wish she'd do those again since they were mostly more original than the mainstream stuff she's done in America.

[@taylenday]

Rose is so cute. She laughs a lot which is just a delight. Her face too... I like that shit lol.

[@malcolmmaze2583]

The very first time I saw Rose in a movie was the Australian movie Two Hands starring the late Heath Ledger in the lead role with Rose playing the love interest. I fell in with her in the scene where Heath takes a picture of her off her 📸 and Heath seizes the moment and see's how beautiful and innocent she looked. I felt the same way and fell in love with her since 😍😍

When does she "show her American Accent off" in the video. I heard like one line in another accent.

[@TheReevessss]

***** You are just being as critical as you possibly can. I've seen your type before. Nobody talks like you're saying. You know you're full of it. You're warped in the head. It annoys me you selected, "They". You could not possibly defend any of what you said because none of it is true. You've probably seen an Aust'n.Extreme Comedy sketch on TV regarding the fascinating acquiring of accents. And that is not something unique to Australia. It's a ubiquitous truism. You'd find it in Poland eg. You will find individuals, often rural, that have found their own, unique way of speaking differently from the rest. This feature is not lost to comedy sketches. I've seen the English do it. I've seen Americans do it. And you've allocated it to a whole population of a City which is untrue. You are gullible but chose to make your gullibility sarcastically critical. Like I said, Your type has been seen & heard before. Take all that you said, into a Sydney Pub & they will show you how you're wrong.

[@ateezliker]

Reever Dennys said they grew up in Brisbane. I think the comment is self-deprecating rather than prejudiced, because as another Australian I can vouch for them.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

We quite often omit spaces when we speak in Australia...for example... "Howyagoinmateorright? " ("how are you going, mate, all right?") - refined translation: "how are you, my friend, are you well?" The most commonly used word in Australia is "G'day" - pronounced "Gud ay". It's a shortened version of "Good day". It is used as a preferred replacement for words like "Hello" or "Hi".

The only movies I've watched from Rose Byrne were Annie and Peter Rabbit. And in both films she has an austrialian accent and works with director Will Gluck. However, i watched like a boss and there she has an american accent. I had no idea if she really has an american accent or if she's just faking it like Anne Hathaway's french accent in the movie the hustle.
