The South African accent is one of my favorites right now and has been for the last five years or so since I saw Sharlto on screen for the first time in District nine. Ever since then I've been fine tuning my South African, he is a special dude and I would like to have a South African accent conversation with him.
Hooray for South African accents, im south african btw XD
me too
yeah Agreed and Elysium
I cracked up when he went into a new zealand accent
I lived in New Zealand for a couple years and I always thought the Kiwi and South African accents were oddly similar for some reason...?
lol we Kiwis
I'm such a fan of Sharlto, ever since I first saw him in District 9.
THIS man shouldve played the Joker in the DCEU
B4DA$$ that would have catapulted his stardom, hope he continues to get more and more recognition!
Wow I've never imagined this casting and now that you said it, that sounds amazing
I love this guy, especially when he speaks with a heavy Afrikaaner accent. His funniest quote was in Elysium when he says everything will be 'lekker'. This always cracks me up because lekker, though spelled slightly different in my language(which isn't Dutch) is pronounced and used the exact same way.
Sharlto makes Fabian look like a knockoff version of Fabian. Such an incredible actor too!
Fucking great actor always delivers ..
I could listen to this man talk all day. I love Sharlto's work.
I'm a mostly straight dude but, I'm gay for this guy.
Dialect lesson starts at 8:02! What do you think of Sharlto's accent?
lol im from South Africa as well and id say he himself actually speaks in a South African accent... and the one he acts in is an Afrikaans accent not an overall South African... the most predominant one between whites and blacks is the one he naturally speaks... the Afrikaans accent is for a specific group of white people who are of Dutch origin... but anyways we still love the accent!!! its very strong though as he said so we can easily tell its from here...
Letter from a South African. Peace and Love.
Hi. What about his accent in District 9. I find it quite different from the one he's using in the interview. Any thoughts?
Typically The further you move away from the coast the stronger the South African accent. His normal accent is typically Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth etc. The accent from District 9 is more maybe Pretoria, Brakpan etc.. but it's more complicated than that. The country has 11 official languages and even more dialects so regions have their own accents as with most countries in the world..
Shaun Matthews Isn't Sharlto from Pretoria though?
Shaun Matthews nooooooo. It sounds nothing like a Durban accent
As a Durbanite I am telling you now
He sounds nothing like us
To me (an American expat) the Afrikaans accent is very distinct from the more "British" South African accent which to me sounds more like a New Zealand accent than anything...?
GREAT actor!
such a huge fan
I am also of the opinion that masculinity still works
+100%
Love this goi
He's a south African Micheal Scott
This man deserve Oscar...
Yeah so true, going for something weaker and softer is way harder. But the risk of going hard is that it sounds silly and people think you're making it as a joke. Which you could be, but to really practice it you need to start there. Some actually do have stronger ones so it's fine, just harder for people to accept as serious. I love his accent in District 9 and Afrikaans in general.
He’s my favourite current actor, He also seems a decent down to earth kinda guy.
I've noticed myself that a lot of South Africans, including myself, are actually very good at imitating other accents.
Yiiiissss~yiiissss ma'am
윤학수 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
this dude was awesome in flight of the conchords
He didn't end up sounding like a New Zealander... just Rhys Darby.
9:30 he reveals to us that he's secretly also Rhys Darby
A mix between an aussie and kiwi accent more like it. lol
With Sharlto you just point the camera and get out of the way.
who else is here for D&D night?
Well now we know why Armie Hammer knows about bloody arms and arteries
I thought this clip was going to be about afreekhan, but it takes up less than 3 minutes at the end.
Africaan, not afreekhan.
Jimmy is on the dust again...
Sharlto, do you sound British?
Jacket should be UNBUTTONED. Other than politicians, most men don't button their jacket on a suit. That's a 'Hollywood' costumers' trend that's been around for some time - and it's largely incorrect per any era.
In the 70's the OPEN look was in - shirt unbuttoned, jacket unbuttoned - letting it all hang out. That was the look.
That was dead on NZ.
Hollandish
south africa accent is funny and weird
He sounds british
no he doesn't...
You must never have heard a British person speak before.
You Americans 😂
He has a South African English accent, basically a little similar to the English accent.
Nope - from a Brit
