    • @bretreinbold8453
      @bretreinbold8453 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm Sure Canada would be willing to trade Seth Rogen for thatJoe Rogen fellow, the one who hosted Fear Factor. They're dying for 8 year old entertainment up there. NO seriously, The Godfather just opened up 'in select theatres only' cause you know, movies dealing with the Mob are so 47 years ago..

      Kiefer Sutherland is English as he was born in London, England.
      Why is Christian Bale stated as Wales yet the others born in England are stated as the UK.
      England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all part of the UK.

      No. She's saying that some people the USA MADE CELEBRATIES were initially from other countries. But the most important point is that AMERICA MADE THEM CELEBRITIES. Given their numbers, this is unique in the world. Bravo to the USA.

    • @peterhuisman8731
      @peterhuisman8731 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yes I am aware of that Silver, even while being Dutch. But I think a time span of 12,000 years should be enough to be named Native American. How far do you want to go. Besides it is just a word to describe these people. Being born in the US just makes you an American citizen in my view.
      But I also think this discussion is a bit absurd. Why should I be surprised that a lot of people in the US are not "real" Americans. I lived (legally by the way) in Arizona for 5 years. Tons of foreigners crossed my path. Same here in Holland by the way. Why should that suprise me?

    Im sick to death of American ignorance when it comes to Wales! The woman narrating said ''Despite being born in Wales Christian Bale is British!'' Where does this genius think Wales is? We're part of Britain. FFS! We are the land mass to the left of the map! We have our own language, one of the oldest languages in the world!, we have our own flag, a red dragon on a green and white background. Our national anthem is considered one of the most beautiful. As is our nation! Anthony Hopkins, Dylan Thomas, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and Richard Burton are all Welsh. I watched a video the other day and that one claimed Britain was made up of England Scotland Ireland, once again Wales was left out. Why does this happen? Cymru Am Beth!

    Isn't this sentence strange? An Academy Award winning actress is not a "starlet" anymore, especially with Charlize Theron's long career and age. I dunno, English is not my native language and I might be missing something here...
    ETA: This narrator obviously doesn't know the meaning of some basic English words like "decade"

    Jim Carrey has been in showbiz for much longer than "over 10 years". You should have said it's been over 25 years. He started on In Living Color in 1990. I don't know why you decided 10 years was the best way to describe how long he's been an actor and comedian.

    1: Jim Carrey didn't get his big break in movies, he got his big break on tv, in a all black comedy show called " in living color" originally a Wayans brother project until the white opened station forced them out. At that point Carrey started in Ave Ventura and the mask and never looked back nor spoke about it.

  • @phucdatbich1990
    @phucdatbich1990 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    There are lots of British actors able to pull off convincing American accents. Henry Cavill currently playing Superman, Andrew Garfield brought up in London playing Spiderman, Damian Lewis the lead in Homeland and Band of Brothers TV series, Dominic West as Det. Mcnulty in the long running TV series the Wire, Hugh Laurie the lead in House, Tom Hiddleston singing as Hank Williams in I saw the light, Daniel Day Lewis born to an English mother in London etc etc.
    A recent one that has most fooled is British actor Joe Alwyn who landed the lead roll as an American soldier in Iraq, straight out of drama school in Ang Lee's film Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.
    Dominic West wins the prize though. Some people from Baltimore think he is a local whereas he is posh being an Old Etonian like Hiddleston and Lewis.

    • @juliawillc
      @juliawillc 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It always amazes me that so many British actors play American. I don’t know of any American actors who play British characters. My guess is that Hollywood uses the best talent available. Switching to American accent must not be that big a deal since so many British actors (men and women) work in American. Cary Grant was British and he developed a kind of trans Atlantic accent.

    Bale describes himself as English or British. He was born in Wales when his pilot father was based there. They moved back to England when he was 3 and he went to Bournemouth grammar school on the south coast.

    here are 3 big name celebs people believe were born in 1 country, but were actually born in another.
    1. Bruce Willis. Everbody thinks of him as a goodold American action hero. Bad news he wasn't born in America, he was actually born in Germany.
    .2. Naomi Watts. People believe she was born in Australia. But she wasborn in the UK and moved to Australia, when she was a teenager
    3. Sam Worthinton. He has always said he is Australian. But he is similar to Naomi Watts. He was born in the UK. Butin his case he moved to Australia when he was a baby.

    Two Law and Order actors fit well into this category. The character Dani Beck is played by Connie Nielsen who was born and raised in Denmark. Connie speaks eight languages including English which she speaks with an impeccable American accent.
    Then there's Linus Roache who plays DA Michael Cutter on L&O. He's origins lily from Manchester ester. England. Like Connie, his American accent is A-OK

    On Bale you said, "Despite being born in Wales, he is British." I would have thought you would do some research as this video is about Geography. Wales is in Britain!! It is like saying despite being Californian he is American. Also can you tell me what a British accent actually is? There is no such thing. If anything Bale speaks in a Mockney ( google it) accent.

    Producers, please get your facts straight and please ensure that the muppet doing the voice over has at least a functioning brain and has read the script at least once, so that they can ask about the big words before you start filming.

    News flash almost half of all US actors of note are from another country. US schools fail to teach diction, most foreigners speak with increased vocal clarity above their American counterpart, those that do not speak in tones and rhythms that peak interest and are more pleasing to the ear.
