Hollywood A-lister Timothée Chalamet thinks the Yorkshire accent is ‘sexy’
The famous American actor has revealed his top three British accents, and the ‘middle-aged Yorkshire’ accent comes up trumps.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Hollywood actor, then first of all where have you been? And secondly, allow us to introduce you.
The 27-year-old A-lister rose to astronomical fame back in 2017 with his portrayal of Elio in Call Me By Your Name.
Since then he has starred in many blockbusters such as Dune and Little Woman, and it’s fair to say has won the heart of women across the globe.
On his press tour for ‘Wonka’ where he plays (you guessed it) Willy Wonka, Chalamet appeared on LadBible TV talking to Keegan-Michael Key, where they discuss the internet’s biggest debates.
In a segment where they debate the British accent, Chalamet goes on to reveal his top three British accents… and the answers are not what you would expect.
Firstly he admits his favourite is the Hull accent, he says: “I like the Hull accent. Hull is sexy”.
We’ve never thought of the Hull accent as particularly sexy before, but we will absolutely take it.
He then goes onto say: “I like Hull, Essex is my top three, and I like a middle-aged Yorkshire accent.”
We’re not sure the difference between a Yorkshire and a middle-aged Yorkshire accent, but what Timothée wants then Timothée will get.
So thank you Timmy, we’d have to say that we wholeheartedly agree and that our accent is in fact, the sexiest of them all.
Next time we’d like to see you attempt a Yorkshire accent on the big screen, because we’re sure you’d absolutely smash it.
