My nickname when I studied in Australia (high school & uni) was Jaui (from Jau). My Chinese surname was Zeng, so that evolved into Zenger, then Zinger, then Zinger Burger and then one guy ended up just calling me Burger - even 10 years on.
I cringe at Aussie accents in movies. Make a 200 million movie; if there is a token Aussie, always sounds like a Brit or a South African. Send me the script; and I'll dub it - for free! We just don't sound like that........ :-)
He forgot to mention that he starred in the Aussie film "Rabbit Proof Fence", which is one of the most critically films down here in 'Strayla. Kenny played a government official trying to wipe out all Aborigines. Such a moving film.
Philip Shehan The effect was to wipe them out, as (at the time, late 1800's, early to mid 1900s) we felt white culture was superior and would be beneficial to Aboriginals. How wrong we were. They were doing perfectly well til we came along.
Rabbit Proof Fence is just Hollywood propaganda. There was no ‘Stolen Generation’ There were 10% of ALL kids in Foster care in Australia after the 1890s drought leading in to WW1 , the Depression and WW2. Half the kids ‘Stolen’ were given up by the parents If anyone is to blame it’s the Church. Yet having said that if it weren’t for them there would’ve been hundreds of thousands of kids on the streets or dead. Of course try explaining that to all the naive folk who are force fed revisionist narratives and they will turn around and call you a racist.
@Morgan finally someone who speaks the almost truth what really happened. Love the BS stories I hear from certain races about their past and how the story stretchers and changes big time.
@@sirsillybilly Oh boy, folks, you might want to stand back. We've got a live one in here. Sir, I'm going to need you to sit down and hand me your tinfoil hat, please, it doesn't go with the straight jacket you're wearing.
Check out the Australian Museum's website on drop bears. And as Australian Geographic pointed out, they appear more likely to attack tourists than those with Australian accents. Scary stuff.
You never get bitten by the spider you see, you see the spider that bit you. Been in a fight with angry Maori? Answer yes? Reply with I know which side you were on.
I don’t know if any of you know this, but Kenneth Branagh narrated Walking with Dinosaurs, Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special (The Ballad of Big Al), Walking with Prehistoric Beasts and Walking with Monsters: Life Before the Dinosaurs.
On the matter of wallaroos, it pains me that so many Australians know so little about Australian wildlife they consider wallaroos to be mistaken wallabies. The Europeans even names their currency after one species of wallaroo, the euro. They could have called it the European Monetary Unit, or EMU.
Wallaroo is a smaller kangaroo but larger than a wallaby, a mid point between the two basically and is also the national women's rugby team of Australia's team name.
I had a fight with a vegan the other day, I explained that we needed to cull them because humans had been in the apex predator role here for 30,000 years & there's no large native predators & he told me we weren't the apex predator & go out into the wild & see if all the other predators think humans are the top of the food chain. I'm imagining a Quoll trying to eat me now! lol
It would still be Jimmy. We don't always add e or o. We do shorten names a lot though. And anyone who has hit a roo and had to check the pouch could tell you it aint all sunshine and blanket in there

Jimbo Mate, the roo punches aren't what you need to watch for! It's the kicks that really hurt! Just stay away from those Emus! Only war the Aussie Army ever lost was against those buggers! 1 machine gun v a whole flock of bulletproof emus just isn't a fair fight!
Kangaroos can be quite dangerous in the wild. They have sharp claws and can cause severe slash wounds with them. If they want to deliver a knockout blow, they will sway back on their tail and kick out with both feet. Also, I think in the video there was mention of a kang- aroo being trained; this is not possible because they are not intelligent animals. There is a video on you tube of a man punching a kang-aroo in the face; the roo seemed quite shocked. He must have never experienced that method of combat before.
Mate, I dunno where you live, but in 40+ years I have only heard friends with NZ or South African backgrounds here have that particular relationship with vowels. I mean I hang with bogans... I can pull a broad Strine with the best of them - I'm a fifth-generation Queenslander, for heaven's sake. I have to dispute you on "spot on"'...
well when I lived in Melbourne I lived next to a Broadie boy and one of my mates up here is from Broadmeadows too. And proud. Neither of them talk like that but they're both self-confessed bogans. I'm confused - is it a Melbourne bogan thing or what? Cause most of my mates down there talked way more proper than most people up here lol...no, actually, that was really a thing. It's hard to tell now, maybe, sometimes? People move round a lot... Side note: we used to call it 'bevan" up here - "bogan" seems to be a Southern import. Cheers - Maude
You need to get out more. We see grey kangaroos every day taking the kids to school (Qld's Sunshine Coast) and there's even a giant male who hangs out at the school, lying on the oval or under a tree near the buildings, and all the kids know to respect him but never approach him. So cool, get out there and look around cos they really are everywhere.
It takes me 30 mins to drive to the city (Adelaide) centre - but first I have to move the makeshift fence that keeps the roos out of my garden. They still lounge around the front. My cat sits with them occasionally
Kenny's talking shite. The inside of a kangaroo's pouch isn't wet - it's just skin, with a little bit of hair. It's nice and warm and cozy for the joeys.
The large kangaroos like to use their fore-paws to hold you by the the shoulders, then lean back on their tails to use their hind legs to rip open your stomach.
You know we have more than kangaroos and adding an o or e on the end of your name. We even have telephones and colour TVs. Oh and this thing called the interweb.
I had to slow down to let a koala cross the road this morning. I was lucky it didn't stop in the middle of the road to pick its toenails because they're so high they just don't see the world around them like other animals.
I had an urge to mock him as well, but quick Google search reveals that wallaroos really exist and are different from wallabies. animals.mom.me/difference-between-wallaby-wallaroo-7336.html
Stand upright near a male Red or Eastern Grey then see how long before he sees you as a challenge and kicks your guts out. Several people get seriously injured each year like this and there have been quite a few deaths.
lol.....Allen Jenkins.....Simply squat down will fix the situation you described above ....But in most of these cases i would suggest the Roo's were cornered or under some kind of threat .

All kangaroo's in the bush roaming free are WILD animals and should be treated with RESPECT and caution at all times. After many many years of involvement with Australian wildlife and the hundreds of Roo's i have cared for i stand by my statement " Kangaroo's are one of the Most Gentle Animals on Earth "
Sir Kenneth needs to visit Morisset psych hospital. On the spacious grounds there are abandoned boarded up buildings and kangaroos- lots of kangaroos and wallabies. Great place for a zombie kangaroo movie.

That is fuckn hilarious 😂
Burger... ten years later.

Burg-o
dude you are much loved !
Yep, sounds like a very Aussie thing to do.
It wouldn't be "Jimmo", it would be "Jimbo".
too true. I'd go for "Kimstah!" myself... but that's an established friendship over number of beers equation...
or james
tru blu cobba. And it'd be Kenny Doll
Speaking as an Australian, we try and shorten everything as much as possible so most would just say "Jim".
nah I’d go Jimma
Hearing non-Australians talk about Australia is akin to watching a dog try to put on socks.
have you ever tried to put on socks while taking a dump? its really difficult.
Yeah until they criticise something we do and then we are super bad sports
I was about to say the same thing haha
imantisocial mate only someone from Queensland would try that.
I cringe at Aussie accents in movies. Make a 200 million movie; if there is a token Aussie, always sounds like a Brit or a South African. Send me the script; and I'll dub it - for free! We just don't sound like that........ :-)
Correction, Jimmy would be 'Jimbo' haha
Micheal Riseley that’s exactly what I was thinking
incorrect- we also end names in 'azza'
and upya,

Kenneth Branagh is very cool. He has done some amazing work and I love to hear about his impressions of Australia.
To the fellow Aussies questioning the existence of Wallaroos, they do actually exist. Look it up 👍
Searched it up and nothing showed up
You see them every now and again in rural nsw, they look like wallabies but slightly larger and darker
So do kangawollafoxes
He looks like an older version of Ewan Mcgregor.
But Branagh is the legend
Everyone really needs to be scared of the dropbear
much worse. Also yowies.
The bite is deadly if not treated within 24 hours.
yes! people always forget about how dangerous they are. kangaroos are nothing compared to dropbears
Check out the Australian Museum's website on drop bears. And as Australian Geographic pointed out, they appear more likely to attack tourists than those with Australian accents. Scary stuff.
good question, but no one survived,,,,,,,,
You can tell he loves Australia, he always talks about them in interviews
lets hope he doesn't come back
He didn't see a drop bear. Know how I know that?
He's sitting in that chair.
You never get bitten by the spider you see, you see the spider that bit you.
Been in a fight with angry Maori? Answer yes? Reply with I know which side you were on.
From Australia - Jimbo and Kenny. 🇦🇺
"They gave me some rough looks Jimmy" lol
1:08 he nailed the australian accent
I’d give him a 5 max
Meh... passable.
outstanding actor
I loved the Wallander series.
I don’t know if any of you know this, but Kenneth Branagh narrated Walking with Dinosaurs, Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special (The Ballad of Big Al), Walking with Prehistoric Beasts and Walking with Monsters: Life Before the Dinosaurs.
Up here in northern NSW Australia we have a James we call Jimmy and a Jimmy we call Jimbo.Go figure.
When I was living in the Torres Straits I met twin brothers, one named James and the other named Jimmy! lol
And he's a real mate he gets called Jungle
I'm Aussie
Like if you're Aussie too! (Or comment, either one)
Gday
two from me :)
How ya going mate
No !!!
yep!
i love you keny
Thanks "Sir Kenny "! For your great sory on Australia .
Professor Gilderoy Lockhart is that you?
No it's Benedick of Padua
The explanation for Australia's wildlife is that Cthulu's sunken city is just offshore.
On the matter of wallaroos, it pains me that so many Australians know so little about Australian wildlife they consider wallaroos to be mistaken wallabies. The Europeans even names their currency after one species of wallaroo, the euro. They could have called it the European Monetary Unit, or EMU.

So many of my mates didn’t even know what a cassowary was 🤯
Ha ! I went to school at Wallaroo ... South Australia ;-)
I giggle when people say "u saw kangaroos in the wild?" I think of the wild as a jungle. I nearly hit a damn kangaroo on the highway the other day😂
I had a fight with a vegan the other day, I explained that we needed to cull them because humans had been in the apex predator role here for 30,000 years & there's no large native predators & he told me we weren't the apex predator & go out into the wild & see if all the other predators think humans are the top of the food chain.
I'm imagining a Quoll trying to eat me now! lol
He might've put his hand up the wrong pouch..
i'm thinking that as well.
Still love Sir Kenneth doing Shakespeare.
It would still be Jimmy. We don't always add e or o. We do shorten names a lot though. And anyone who has hit a roo and had to check the pouch could tell you it aint all sunshine and blanket in there
TheAshmah Could be Jumbo!!!!!!
Lol the wallaroo thing surprises me. We just called them Wallabies. (I’m Aussie)

The mucus in the kangaroo pouch can overcome antibiotic resistant bacteria... maybe because the bacteria finds it so gross.
So true though😂😂😂😂😂 Aussies’s where ya at?
Marla Bellamy Right f...... here, numbnuts!!!!!!! Don’t come the uncooked crustacia with me, you drongo!!!!!
Aussies wouldn't say Jimmo. We say Jimbo.
Kenny❤️
Yeah Roo's have a bit of a Trumpasau.. sorry, - Tyrannosaurus - complex...
Any Aussies here
Jack Rox yep
G'day, why do you ask?
Yeah, cobber. Too right.
(Nah, we’d call Jimmy “Jimbo”, not “Jimmo”...)
You from Queensland? I’ve found Queenslanders say “Jimmo” or “Timmo” whereas Sydneysiders, Melburrnians or Adelaidians will add the “b” in...
Ben Holloway must be a “south of the border” thing...
Naa, yer naa, it'd be "Jimbo"! Lol
I like this guy
Vikingsandra I LIKE your direct, matter-of-fact comment :-)
Jimbo Mate, the roo punches aren't what you need to watch for! It's the kicks that really hurt!
Just stay away from those Emus! Only war the Aussie Army ever lost was against those buggers! 1 machine gun v a whole flock of bulletproof emus just isn't a fair fight!
Lest we forget
Ah yes. The great emu war
Lol. Kenny’s accent sounds kiwi. And Jimmy would be jimmy or Jimbo
Castle Hill RSL (a club) in Sydney gets called Caso-Arso (kha-so ah-so)
In Australia Kenneth Branagh would be called Kenny or Branno. The O is at the end of surnames.
Wallaroo were shot into extinction by Aussie bogans
SIR Kenneth Branagh.
Geez mate...we have Kangaroos in suburban Melbourne. Darwin has Crocodiles.
Jimmy would be jimmy
Aussie here..."Jimmy" is Aussie as you Pom! (because of Aussie Legend Jimmy Barnes) It's so Aussie that we'd even call a James or a Jim...Jimmy!
anyone remember him in the Australian film Rabbit-Proof Fence?
You'd be either Jimmy or Jimbo.
I'm 32, and saw my first dingo in the wild today.
Never. Only in cages or owned.
Good stuff Jimmo, keep it up mate. Sad to see ya go Kenny, boomerang soon cobber.
You're not actually Aussie though, eh. Good try though.

Imma just gonna call him Gilderoy
It's "Kenny Doll Brazza" and as for the american, it's "WANKA"!
Or Seppo if we're being polite.
I thought wanker was being polite.
Kimelo? Nah we'd just call ya Kimmy 😁
The begining of this interview wouldve been great while promoting for tenet !!!
One doesn't simply walk into the Australian bush jimmo kimmelo
For once someone who can do an Australian accent
um, it was a a Kiwi accent mate!
Darwin Schulze no, not even close!
worst ever, sounded fuckin irish !
Lilac Lizard
No it wasn't. Pay attention and listen carefully
it was scottish accent i think idk didnt sound australian
Was he in Australia? New Zealand? Or...South Africa? Don't ask Branagh to do accents...
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey It was actually pretty spot on strong bogan accent.
Mate, I dunno where you live, but in 40+ years I have only heard friends with NZ or South African backgrounds here have that particular relationship with vowels. I mean I hang with bogans... I can pull a broad Strine with the best of them - I'm a fifth-generation Queenslander, for heaven's sake. I have to dispute you on "spot on"'...
Well I live down here in Vic so maybe it's a thing here.
well when I lived in Melbourne I lived next to a Broadie boy and one of my mates up here is from Broadmeadows too. And proud. Neither of them talk like that but they're both self-confessed bogans. I'm confused - is it a Melbourne bogan thing or what? Cause most of my mates down there talked way more proper than most people up here lol...no, actually, that was really a thing.

it was definitely a kiwi accent!
warmlittlediamond is right..it would be Jimbo
Dingoes got me baby
strayaaaaaa! Great interview
Wrong! We don't say that! Kenneth! I've never seen a kangaroo in the wild. Only at the zoo.
You need to get out more.

My experience is Jimmy is the nickname for James- so I’d just stick with that. But we do have lots of possible variations to mix it up for fun!!
Kenny's talking shite. The inside of a kangaroo's pouch isn't wet - it's just skin, with a little bit of hair. It's nice and warm and cozy for the joeys.
Jimbo*
Kangaroos are nothing to worry about except for the Reds maybe. It’s our crocs, snakes and spiders you have to worry about. And our prime minister.
It’d be Jimbo.
Hey Kenny, I am still waiting for your horror movie "The WALLAROO" xD
The large kangaroos like to use their fore-paws to hold you by the the shoulders, then lean back on their tails to use their hind legs to rip open your stomach.

I’m pretty sure here in Australia we would pronounce ‘Jimmy’ as ‘dickhead’.
I had to slow down to let a koala cross the road this morning. I was lucky it didn't stop in the middle of the road to pick its toenails because they're so high they just don't see the world around them like other animals.
Did ya hear about the "Kangawallafox"?
What the hell is a Jimo😂 he means Jimbo.
KENNY
What the hell is Jimmo?!
What was he filming?
I had an urge to mock him as well, but quick Google search reveals that wallaroos really exist and are different from wallabies. animals.mom.me/difference-between-wallaby-wallaroo-7336.html
You really had to question if a bizzare Aussie animal was real? lol
I assumed he forgot the word "wallaby" and deformed it into "wallaroo", which wasn't the case.
yeah, but wallaby is tastier !
Some laconic aussie told him it was Jimmo as a prank. That guy is still laffing his arse off.
As an Australian this is pretty accurate.
TheRubberStudiosASMR Jimmo ain't accurate lol
Kangaroo's are one of the Most Gentle Animals on earth !!!!!
Stand upright near a male Red or Eastern Grey then see how long before he sees you as a challenge and kicks your guts out. Several people get seriously injured each year like this and there have been quite a few deaths.
p.s. Apostrophe abuser!
lol.....Allen Jenkins.....Simply squat down will fix the situation you described above ....But in most of these cases i would suggest the Roo's were cornered or under some kind of threat .
Yes i agree it can happen if you don't use your brain .
But all Australian's or people living in Australia SHOULD KNOW that an upright position is a treat to kangaroo's ..
All kangaroo's in the bush roaming free are WILD animals and should be treated with RESPECT and caution at all times.
After many many years of involvement with Australian wildlife and the hundreds of Roo's i have cared for i stand by my statement " Kangaroo's are one of the Most Gentle Animals on Earth "
You forgot Western Greys ????
People would call him Kimmo.
his Aussie accent isn’t half bad
lol wallaby ya nuffy not a walaroo haha
Macropus robustus, macropus bernadus, macropus antilopinus.
You probably think a pademelon is a fruit.
I've had my hand in a kangaroo's pouch, it was warm and silky like soft skin, nothing gooey Maybe the age of the joey makes a difference?
Sir Kenneth needs to visit Morisset psych hospital. On the spacious grounds there are abandoned boarded up buildings and kangaroos- lots of kangaroos and wallabies. Great place for a zombie kangaroo movie.
Ok. But as an Australian I’m not even mad at ‘Kenny’s’ Australian accent, didn’t do it too badly.
He's English. Of course it's passable
It'd actually be "Jimbo" nackers.
A kangaroos pouch is not a very nice place, its clamy, warm and smelly. Don't put your hand in one.

He calls himself Jimmy and THAT is what he would be referred to. ONLY if he called himself Jim or James would he then be called Jimbo or Jimmy.
You'd be called Jimbo. Not Jimmo
Its Jimbo!
