Terrible Irish Accents in the Movies

Don't think the Tyrone accent can be carried off ..
brad Pitt in a devils own was suppose to be from 'outside cookstown' ... Jesus wept

I think he also said something like on the shores of Lough Neagh or near the lough. That'd be Ardboe, I suppose. Jaysus, can you imagine a real Ardboe accent in a lead role of a Hollywood movie?

Gerard Butler in 'PS I love you' knocks the rest into a cocked hat.

He has the same accent in every film, no matter the role.

Not a movie, but Sam Neills accent was terrible in Peaky Blinders.

Especially poor considering his early years in Omagh.

The whole cast of Alexander!

Oi tink you mean "in da Jackal". He was Declan somebody from recollection - good call, he was brutal!

Julia Roberts as Kitty Kiernan in Michael Collins was no great shakes either.

Connery should get a mention for the untouchables for not even trying but because he was  brilliant in a fantastic film Ill let him off.
On the flip side I thought Nicholas Clays' Irish accent in Evil under the sun to be spot on.

Paddy O'Brien, the Irish terrorist in the Austin Powers movie.

"They're always after me lucky charms".

The whole cast of Alexander!

But a lot of them were just using their own accent.

Julia has the distinction of butchering it a second time in Mary Reilly.

Kevin spacey .. ordinary decent criminal
Michael j fox .. back to the future 3
Matthew Goode ... leap year ( one of the worst films I've ever encountered )

Declan Mulqueen if I remember correctly. "He's after da feeerst laydee"

Not a movie but some of the Irish accents in Sons of Anarchy are fuckin brutal.

100% agree. The worst I have ever heard.

Personally, didn't think Brad Pitt's accent was the worst in Devils Own ( a hugely underrated film imo)

Saw a movie there over the Christmas with Mickey Rooney in it playing an Irishman . Dirty Dozen type war movie with Stuart Granger in it. Rooney's accent was awful.
