Millie Bobby Brown shows off her accent proficiency
Recently, the Stranger Things star was a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show. Among other things, the two actresses had a fun conversation about accents. Referring to Brown’s latest film Enola Holmes 2, Barrymore revealed that she too had to incorporate an English accent twice in her career. One of them was for her 1998 film Ever After, when the veteran actor had imbibed “more of a Royal pronunciation.”
When asked about her Achilles’ heel in the world of accents, Brown first took a moment to drop some of her accent knowledge for Barrymore and the viewers. As she explained the tricks to nailing the tone and technique, she even did a little performance, exhibiting her grasp at various accents.

“Basically, the Australian accent can go really far back in your throat, and then the English accent’s like middle, and then the American’s all in the mouth. And, it’s all very, like easy going,” shared the Godzilla vs Kong star.
Brown further revealed how there are “certain English accents” that stump and intimidate her. She narrated how her father, who hails from the countryside in England, has a peculiar accent. While he doesn’t talk like an English farmer, it is his way of talking that Brown has a hard time imitating. We already know that the Enola Holmes actress does a very convincing American accent equipped with a quintessential twang.
