Anya Taylor-Joy explains why her accent in English constantly changes depending on who she's around: "I was born in the states but I don't have any family there and never really lived there, and then moved to Argentina and then to London. My accent in Spanish never changes, but... my accent in English does tend to mirror the person that I'm around... having married an American, I tend to mimic people I'm around and so my [English] accent goes away, which is very unfortunate for my personal life, but great for my job... people get really upset with me about it, they're like "why's your accent so weird?" And I'm like dude, I know, I'd also prefer it to be something that stuck around..."show more

I think many people aren't aware she has a multicultural background and her first language is Spanish so her accent throws them off

Yes, and her accent adapts to the people around her but her real accent is English, she just cant keep it consistent.

Accent shifting is normal for multilinguals. The real question is why we expect a single "authentic" accent. What makes hers different?

Anya Taylor-Joy reveals why her English accent constantly changes depending on who she's around, and why she refuses to drive in London: “My accent in Spanish never changes, but my accent in English does tend to mirror the person that I'm around... which is very unfortunate for my personal life, but great for my job!” “In terms of feeling independent, I really love London and I love New York. That's where I feel like I can do whatever I want and I have an understanding of the city in a different way.” “I still can't drive, so LA is a little tricky! It would be so depressing to drive in London, I'm sorry for the people that do.”

Anya Taylor-Joy says the one thing she misses from London is her accent and reveals she's producing something British at the moment: "But having married an American, I tend to mimic people I'm around and so my accent goes away... I'm working on something at the minute that I'm producing that I'm so excited about because of its truly British identity so I'm excited about that."

Guys whatever she is saying just throw her opinion to dustbin. I lived in Bengaluru more than 14+ years infact my friends liked our accent and used to use our accent now and then. There is no division among us, we never felt that.

Mia Malkova says she gets TURNED ON watching her partner with other people and used to get off to her ex-husband’s porn with other girls "I had a, I had done a scene with my ex-husband, and like honestly, anytime he would grab somebody else to come, I'd always be insulted. Which I shouldn't have been, 'cause it... Everybody does. Yeah. It's so normal. Yeah, it's human nature." "And we can, I can control my jealousy... I'd say something afterwards, but I'm also not a, or I'm not, what is it? I wouldn't say I'm a cuck, but like I act-- I've always gotten turned on by watching my significant other, like, bang other people. So anytime I've had threesomes, it's always been like, 'Oh, wow, you know, that's really fucking hot.'" "I feel the need to get in there... I have watched, and I can watch... As long as I'm sexually attracted, like, like, yeah, but I'd prefer to be in there." "But yeah, like my first husband, who I'm not attracted to at all anymore, I'm gonna say that, throw that out there. We don't get along... Sorry, but I used to watch his porn with other girls, and that was like what I would watch to get off. It's like him just enjoying fucking other girls... This is so wrong, but then I'd also be super turned on, like this is so right."

Sir Lewis Hamilton reflecting on the break after Singapore, and speaking on his experience with horses throughout his life: "Good afternoon, everyone. I was at the factory, and then headed out here. Had some work in LA, and then I came here. But yesterday, I rode a horse for the first time. So it was an unbelievable experience." "But when I was younger, there used to be a horse that was in a field nearby, just a shy horse. And it was this beautiful horse. It was just on its own every day. So I'd go and stop, and it would come over to me, and I'd spend time [with it]. And then when I'd start walking home, I'd start to notice my allergies started kicking off. And then my breathing, I'd struggle to breathe. And I'd really, really struggle. And I didn't know that I had asthma." "Then I was, I happened to be around another horse another time, and I had an asthma attack. And it was a really scary experience, because I didn't have an inhaler or anything. So anyways, I stayed away from horses since that day. That was when I was probably like 14 or something. And I went through this desensitization program, because my allergies were crazy, particularly for hay fever in the UK. And I didn't think anything of it. I hadn't thought about it. And I did a shoot at the beginning of this year with a horse for the Time 100 magazine. And I took medication, antihistamine. But I was able to be around this horse, no problems. So yesterday, I did a shoot with a horse for Plus 44. And I was like, can I ride it? And I got on. And it was just, wow. It was an amazing experience." "The horse started moving. And it started to gallop. And I didn't know what to do in that moment. So I panicked a little bit. But it was beautiful. So I'm really, really excited about this next phase of my life, where I'm going to be around horses more and really get into riding." - F1 2025 USGP -

Gina Gershon explains why she didn't like Paul Verhoeven's "Showgirls" (1995) at first, but learnt to appreciate it over the years: "I couldn't watch "Showgirls" (1995) for years 'cause I was like, I was too, a little bit of PTSD, I think, in a very slight way, no disrespect to real PTSD, but I would get very tense and anxious when I thought about certain things and stories, and so I never really watched it again, and I would kind of use the excuse of like, 'Well,' and it was a real excuse, like, 'I can't deal with my accent, 'cause I had to lie about my accent. I thought the movie would be closer to one of [Verhoeven's] Dutch films, which are a little bit seedier, a little bit darker, and I think his American films, now that I've kind of studied it and I've stepped out of it, I mean, they're really interesting comments on America and fascism. Going 30 years later, 25 years later, a friend of mine, a writer friend, she said, 'No, you don't understand how great Showgirls is.' I'm like, 'I guess I really don't,' but when I saw it from afar, not being in it, and all of a sudden I'm like, 'Oh my god.' It was really a comment on ugly America and on capitalism and power struggles and dynamics and all those things. That r*** scene has to be there. It's the grossest thing in there and the powerful men, they're all protected and, you know, so that's why it's exciting when she kicks the guy's a$$. I thought it was gonna be a different movie than it was, but you know what? It's also an interesting lesson in, you know, when you get to the set or any situation really, you know, in your mind, you think what it is, but when you go there and it's not, then you have to assess and... You gotta make it make sense, but then I just changed my approach to the whole character, so that was kind of interesting. It was a good lesson."

Most voice models are great at cloning voices, but they still manage to erase the person. I have an accent. Voice models don't know how to preserve it. Whenever I clone my voice, models get the words right, but mess up the rhythm badly. They flatten my vowels, and everything drifts toward a generic American accent. I'm attaching one example from Mirage. This is the first model I have heard of that can reproduce access as-is. • My accent stays intact, even when speaking English and Spanish • My pacing and cadence feel intentional, not averaged • The expressivity of my voice comes through Best part: Mirage only needs a short sample of your voice to clone it. I think this solves the hard part of voice cloning: intelligibility is easy, but identity is what makes a huge difference. Listen to the attached sample, and you'll notice the difference if you compare it with any other model out there. If you want to try this out, check out this link: Thanks to the Mirage team for collaborating with me on this post.

Tom Holland admits there are more accents in Britain than any other country but Jon Bernthal doesn't think so Tom Holland: The accent for me, having an American accent is almost like a disguise. The moment that I start speaking with an English accent, I feel like I go into like press mode, and it feels like a kind of representation of who I am as a person. But I would love to explore some more British accents, because as an island we have some of the most interesting, unique, and fun accents… I think there’s more accents in Britain than any other country. Jon Bernthal: I think so. Why’s it always gotta come to competition? Tom Holland: That’s not competition, I’m just… that’s like a simple fact, I’m just putting it out there. Jon Bernthal: Okay, so maybe it’s my problem… Fine, then I’ll admit it’s a problem, but I would go out on a limb to say there are more accents in America than there are in Britain. You really think there’s more dialects in England than there are in America?

There’s a video from two years ago where I (in bed for some reason) pretend to be American and mispronounce a load of English city names. Many people are FURIOUS about it, which I think speaks to the tremendous accuracy of my accent.

Brad Jacobs on how to identify A players: "I do a mental exercise where I picture the person coming into my office and saying, 'Brad, I quit.' And then I try to feel and visualize what would be my reaction if that person came in to me and quit. If my reaction to that is, 'Yes! I don't want to smile, so I don't want to act like I'm happy about this. Nobody likes firing people. No problem at all, we'll replace them'—that's a C player. That's someone you should get the courage to get off the team right away. On the second category, if my reaction to it is, 'You know, it kind of sucks. I would've preferred that person stayed, but it's not the end of the world. We'll hire a headhunter. We'll get someone as good, maybe someone even better, and things will work out'—that's a B player. But if when I visualize that person quitting, my reaction to that is pure terror and absolute panic, and like somebody took a baseball bat and just whacked me in the stomach and then punched me in the face. I'm going, 'Oh my God! Like I'm never going to find someone as good as her. No way. I'm never going to have someone as talented as that person. I'm never going to have someone who brings to the table their particular superpower.' And I can't even hear what they're saying anymore because I'm just having this internal panic dialogue going on—that's what you call an A player. So I want all A players around me. I want people whose relationship with me I value so much that if it was terminated, I would be lost."

Matt Damon: ...I was like, "I'll give all my tips to these guys and I just need to be here," cuz if you're serving drinks to people, and the guy was a bartender in the movie, but if so, but if you're serving drinks to people, they talk to you, so you can...

Brad Jacobs on identifying A players: "I do a mental exercise where I picture the person coming into my office and saying, 'Brad, I quit.' And then I try to feel and visualize what would be my reaction if that person came in to me and quit. If my reaction to that is, 'Yes! I don't want to smile, so I don't want to act like I'm happy about this. Nobody likes firing people. No problem at all, we'll replace them'—that's a C player. That's someone you should get the courage to get off the team right away. On the second category, if my reaction to it is, 'You know, it kind of sucks. I would've preferred that person stayed, but it's not the end of the world. We'll hire a headhunter. We'll get someone as good, maybe someone even better, and things will work out'—that's a B player. But if when I visualize that person quitting, my reaction to that is pure terror and absolute panic, and like somebody took a baseball bat and just whacked me in the stomach and then punched me in the face. I'm going, 'Oh my God! Like I'm never going to find someone as good as her. No way. I'm never going to have someone as talented as that person. I'm never going to have someone who brings to the table their particular superpower.' And I can't even hear what they're saying anymore because I'm just having this internal panic dialogue going on—that's what you call an A player. So I want all A players around me. I want people whose relationship with me I value so much that if it was terminated, I would be lost."

🚨PIERS MORGAN AGREES WITH ETHNO-NATIONALISTS Just being born here does NOT make you English "I actually have zero English DNA in me. I had my DNA tested and it came back Zero English" "I AM NOT ENGLISH AT ALL" "I was born in Guildford in Surrey... I'm not really English, I mean I like to pretend I am but when your DNA doesn't have any English at all what does that make me?" Piers is making the same argument ethnonationalists make, admitting that he's not really English despite being born there because he has no ancestry tied to England Amazing honesty from Piers
