1. I agree... And I'm a guy... WIth a girlfriend... Hahaha
2. If you want to know the difference between an Irish and Scottish accent, the interviewer is Irish, so listen to him.
3. Poor Jihrahrd. He even has trouble with his own accent. He sounds like my dad's middle-class "phone voice". Bizarre.
4. omg i want a irish guy!!~ ahha
5. @wanditacolon Yes he is drop dead sexy isnt he? I love him in every movie i`ve seen of him. Cant wait to see Bounty Hunter
6. actually jackthelad, they did. If you do actually read up on it, the Scots were from an irish tribe called the scoti in ireland and they travelled to scotland. that is also why they speak, altho a different dialect of, gaelic. and why the music and culture are very simialr.
7. TO EVERYONE WHO IS SAYING HE'S IRISH: watch the whole video, he talks about trying to do an irish accent. which means he ISN'T irish. he also says "to the nation of ireland: i apologize for abusing YOUR accent". he is from paisley, scotland. he says it in an interview with craig ferguson and it's on wikipedia.
8. you have to realise there are some very different accents in both countries. Example; Glasgow and the Western isles are wildly different. Likewise, a Cork, Dublin and Belfast accent are all totally different from each other, and obviously so.
9. Its an Irish accent in P.S. I love you that they are talking about, He Irish accent on that was terrible.
10. accents between countries are very easily distinguishable if you listen. and if you're a really good listener you'll even be able to tell the difference between which part of the country someone is from. A Dublin accent is different then a Cork accent etc etc.
11. It is a scottish accent not an irish accent.
12. I don't care in which accent he speaks...even if he talks in mandarin, german, russian, spanish (which is my language) For me, he's the sexiest man on earth....He's gourgeous in any language or accent !!!
13. Anyone who has spent a week in Scotland, Ireland and England can tell the difference... but probably couldn't replicate it. If I try I slip between them really easily.
14. YUMMMY guy
15. SPAAAAAAAARTAAAAAA !
16. Great actor
17. hahaha actually Scotch Irish is someone from a Scottish background living in Northern Ireland whereas he's Scottish with an Irish background!! confusing lol
18. The Scottish DO NOT and DID NOT get their culture via Ireland.Think about what you are insinuating... Read a history book!
19. What is the difference?  Seriously, not trying to be funny.
20. no he is from paisley in scotland.
21. Don't you people listen he apologises for his attempt at the irish accent, he says his family is from all over ireland but his accent is scottish/american!
22. He is so hot!! he did very good acting in "Law Abiding Citizen" that was the first movie I ever saw hm in.
23. Gerard Butler is Scottish .. He's from Scotland.
24. he is amazingly adorable
25. I can see that American accent sounds kind of like a mixture of Scottish English with the Irish 'r'.
