1. He is scottish you idiots.
2. BARROWMAN is a wee bitty piece of PURE legendary
3. is john barrowman actually Scottish ? from an interested Scot
4. to all who thinks he doesn't actually have a scottish accent - watch "the making of me" john barrowman. there is a segment where he skypes with his parents, and he talks to them in a scottish accent. would he fake a scottish accent to his very scottish parents? i really dont think so
5. watch a video where a young girl kisses his cheek, he had no reason to speak scottish, it just came out of him. Of course it's a bit faded, since he always or most of the time anyways he speaks american, but his natural voice IS scottish
6. I agree that it sounds pretty fake here, but check out the outtakes from series 1 of Torchwood. Whenever he cracks up, he does sound genuinely Glaswegian, probably because the director is Scottish, so it's easier than usual for him to slip back to his native accent.
7. Every time i see John, i can't help smiling :3
8. Watch Torchwood out-takes, there were scenes they shot again and again because they thought he sounded so 'scottish'
9. @Paul2377 do not insult john barrowman infront of me.
10. Sorry but I just think it's fake. He 'lost' his Scottish accent when he moved abroad, and while he can obviously easily imitate a Scottish accent now, I don't believe it's natural for him to just slip into it. It's like Gillian Anderson's affected British accent. That one really makes my skin crawl, as you can tell it's so fake. Again, I know she was raised in London, but she lost her British accent when she moved to the US. It doesn't just magically return.
11. so you did buy her off the net then? you should of bought a thai bride instead theyre much cheaper and easier to transport
12. My mistake, you're British. Let me change that to self-fellating chav inbred life.
13. You're all class. I hope you enjoy your sorry excuse for an inbred redneck trailer trash life. :)
14. did you buy her off the internet?
15. get a clue. My girlfriend speaks with an Aussie accent when talking to most Aussies but switches to Malaysian accent the moment she speaks to her parents. She doesn't even realise it until I point it out.
16. Doesn't he get tired of that? They ask him in nearly every show...I like it, but still
17. No I have and you've been most entertaining......
18. and your entertained by talentless faggots :) i think i win this one
19. Lol and your a fucking troll
20. your a fucking idiot
21. That Wright guy is soo ugly looking - he's got a face you just want tp punch, especially when he smiles.
22. Yeah, I do the same when talking to my Mum, I moved to Australia from Uk at age 8 and I remember in High School my friends telling me that I sounded "Aussie" when talking to them but very "pommie" when talking to my Mum even in the same shared conversation - I didn't even know I was doing it. Lol
23. Yeah, my sister and I are the same too. I moved to Australia from Uk at age 8 and I remember in High School my friends telling me that I sounded "normal" when talking to them but very "pommie" when talking to my Mum even in the same shared conversation - I didn't even know I was doing it. Lol.
24. yeah he has a bidialectal accent where he can speak to most people with an american accent its natural in that situation. But as soon as he hears a scottish accent it switches back. So if he heard both a scot then an american accent he would switch back and fourth without realising it.
25. so am i eeeeek :)
