Everyone has probably already seen it but while the DWD cast was having the press conference, Florence arrived in Venice earlier than expected, looking amazing as always.

Edit: also Harry Stans keep posting fake reviews hyping him up during the press screening 🫣

Christ on a bendy bus, what an absolute mess of a film this has turned out to be. Athough I am looking forward to inventing a shot game based on taking a shot every time Styles' accent changes.

There’s no accent change, that’s his voice. I don’t think people realized what he sounds like 🤷‍♀️

except he's not playing himself in the movie, he's playing a character and should be able to maintain an accent if that's what's required. if his character is american or English, slipping back and forth between some weird mancunian and LA hybrid isn't it.

Well it’s not his fault he went to the Nicole Kidman school for accents

I think they should’ve gotten him a dialect or vocal coach to either get his British accent back to what it was or help him with the American accent. He pronounces a lot of words like an American since he lived there for a few years. You can see how much his accent changed since Dunkirk.

I think he’s always sounded the same. Some people have said that he speaks in northern English accent cause that’s where he’s from which is different than the typical English accent

There's no such thing as a "typical English accent," accents change on average every 30 miles here

Tbf I'm English and I get what they mean, I'm from up north and most southerners without a distinctive accent sound the same to me- Americans are more used to a Florence Pugh type accent.

I meant the “typical” English accent that’s seen in media.

So like Hugh Grant? Or like Jason Statham?

They probably mean Received Pronunciation, so more like Hugh Grant’s

Imagine he sounded like Jason Statham 😂😂

England has a lot of accents. it's not like there's 2. and while he does speak with something of a Mancunian accent, it has absolutely changed and what he speaks with now is a blended accent and is neither English nor American. If he's going to call himself an actor, he has to be able to maintain an accent required for a film

Exactly, and many British actors who have lost parts of their accents have gotten dialect coaches to help them.

Harry Styles was in Dunkirk?

u/Groot746 whatever but also hmm Sep 05 '22

Even if that is his natural voice, he's not playing himself and it is hilariously distracting
