He famously gets a lot of heat for his miserable Cockney as Bert, but nobody ever weighs in on the voice he used for the old banker Mr Dawes. In last year's sequel, Van Dyke came back as Dawes Junior, who was originally played by the actual Brit Arthur Malet. (He couldn't very well play Dawes Senior since that character died off-screen before the final scene of the 1964 film.)

Shell agree you’ve got heaps lowlands highlands seven major cities and not to mention Shetland , Orkney and. The Hebrides that’s a lot . Same thing happens with the Irish they either go high like a leprechaun on acid or too far north Belfast or northern Irish ! I’ve counted around 75 that’s factoring in the three main cities , ( cork , Dublin , Belfast ) then each county ( 32) has at least two each then you also have the Aran islands off Galway as well and it’s around that number . I’ve got cousins from Dublin , cork , Kildare and Tipperary so you can tell just from family how many Irish accents I’m dealing with . But like Scotland , Ireland for such a small country has a heck of a lot of talented actors and actresses why not give the jobs to them I say !!

They’re talking about his accent for the scenes that take place before Connor left Scotland - up to that point, he’s meant to have spent his whole life there and his Scottish accent is atrocious. During the contemporary scenes and flashbacks that take place later in time, he uses a different accent (which is the one that’s explained as being the product of his having spent several hundred years travelling around) but that’s not what they’re criticising. Also, regardless of whether Ramirez should sound Spanish or Egyptian, he sure as hell isn’t meant to have Sean’s natural Scottish accent, so that’s also fair game.

One thing that surprises me is how movies focus on one accent or another, rather than taking their own. However, if you're taking on an accent for a local place, it can get pretty bad. I often spend how awful certain accents are. When I saw the Robin Hood movie, I questioned how horrible Costner's portrayal was. I watched the movie thinking, "Why is Robin Hood wearing a mullet and speaking with an American accent?" It would have been better if they had hired a British actor, or just let him not trying to translate.

You look at these bad accent attempts, and then you think of the excellent accent coaching in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, where if you hadn't seen the actors before, you couldn't possibly believe their country of origin!

Why are there so many bad British accent lists? BuzzFeedUK just did one and the Irish channel Try also did one. We really don't care about a bad American accent because we have maybe 15 regional accents, so even a bad American accent will go unnoticed by most American viewers.

I don't think Jake Gyllenhall, Noomi Rapace and Natalie Portman were that bad. If I met them in person I'd just assume they spoke a little weird, were from some obscure part of the UK or unusually posh. The others on the list however, you could tell very quickly they were faking it or not even trying (looking at you Kevin).

I think the criticism of Natalie Portman accent as the video says out of context it isn't too bad. Its perfectly serviceable to play a royal or in a 1940s movie starring Deborah Kerr. Whereas Evie is meant to he working class londoner. One of the best is Gwyneth Paltrow in sliding doors. Renee Zelkwegger in Bridget Jones too they get that their charecters would be a bit posh given home counties backgrounds and their jobs but there's a bit of the London accent in their because no one wants to be seen to be as posh as the Queen..

Would love to hear an American do a Liverpool, Welsh or Newcastle accent. Anne Hathaway’s English accents have been pretty terrible. But my favourite worst English Accent of all time I think has to be Josh Harrnett in a Blow Dry simply because he was attempting a Yorkshire accent but came off sounding Welsh and sometimes Jordy, hilarious to say the least it was so bad I adored it and watched the film purely to seek amusement from it.

Some of these are perfectly fine (and I am British myself.) The only thing wrong with Gyllenhall's is the fact he's playing Middle-Eastern and it's a weird choice (I'm guessing the Hollywood perception is Prince = Royal = British) and Michael C Hall's wasn't bad. And some are just stereotypical rather than bad, which is fine; stereotypes do exist, after all. And Kevin Costner wasn't even trying to do an accent. He apparently tried, but was so bad the director just told him not to bother.
