00:00Oh, which American actor?
00:02Renee Zellweger easily does the best British accent of any American ever
00:07because it's not the easy, like, British, tough accent.
00:11She does a proper London accent. She nails it.
00:14I was in London at a party last night, so I'm afraid I'm a bit hungover.
00:18Wish I could be lying with my head in the toilet that I call normal people.
00:23I forgot she was American while watching that.
00:26So we have adopted her as British and she's ours now and you can't have her back.
00:30I'm really sorry. She belongs to Britain.
