*cough* Florence Pugh *cough*

If you watch as much TV and movies as I do, then you're probably introduced to new actors to obsess over every week.

Paramount Pictures, The CW

But because you're so familiar with them in that specific role, it can be kind of jarring to learn that their real-life accent is verrrrry different from their character's.

Fox Searchlight Pictures

For example, Chiwetel Ejiofor is British. He was born in Forest Gate, London, in the United Kingdom.

Maybe you fell in love with Oscar-nominated actress Florence Pugh in Midsommar or Little Women but were genuinely surprised to learn she's English.

Sony Pictures Releasing

She was born in Oxford, England!

Perhaps you're a die-hard Riverdale fan, and the first time you watched an interview with KJ Apa your mind started to melt because you heard that Kiwi accent.

The CW

He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, after all!

Or maybe you saw two-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo on broadway in The Color Purple, but when she opened her mouth to accept her Tony you were gobsmacked to learn she's British.
