Millie Bobby Brown confused fans with her changing accent as she appeared on Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show to promote her new film, Enola Holmes 2.

Viewers were quick to take to Twitter to express their shock, with one fan remarking they didn’t even know Millie was British as she’s best known for her role in the American Netflix series, Stranger Things.

‘Why are people crying about Millie Bobby Brown losing her Br*tish accent?? That should be a blessing.’; ‘Wait, why is Millie Bobby Brown now speaking with an American accent?’; What happened to her accent’. 

Millie previously revealed that she was losing her British accent after relocating to Florida with her family at the age of eight and then starring in Stranger Things.

Speaking to Radio Times, she said: ‘For the last five years I’ve been playing an American character in Stranger Things and I found it really challenging being British in this, even though I am a Brit. 

‘I had to learn how to speak again because I’m so used to speaking in an American accent.’  

Ironically, Millie initially struggled to perfect an American accent, admitting she learnt by mimicking Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana. 

She told Jimmy Fallon in 2020: ‘I watched Bugsy Malone and Godfather when I was like eight and my parents were like, you know, watching all these movies with me and I was like ‘Yeah but Hannah Montana is like Oscar-nominating, like it’s so good.’

‘Hannah Montana is the best, the film, everything. Everything about it is amazing.’

Millie isn’t the only British star that’s struggled to keep their accent after moving across the pond. 

Brooklyn Beckham showed off his multitude of accents during a candid interview about his love for cookery.

The 23-year-old son of Victoria and David Beckham spoke to People in August about what he loves to cook for wife Nicola Peltz, 27 – but baffled fans as he switched between American and Cockney accents while chatting.

The star, who was raised between London, Madrid and Los Angeles, said: ‘My favourite thing to cook a lot, she loves angel hair pasta with pink sauce.

‘But she also loves the spaghetti bolognese I make her, it takes like eight hours to make the sauce.’

Brooklyn’s fans noted that he also bore a resemblance to Tesla mogul Elon Musk with his style and accent.

In his 23 years, Brooklyn has lived all over the world, flitting between England, Spain and the United States due to father David’s football career. 

In 2020, Brooklyn relocated to the US to live with his now-wife Nicola Peltz in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Liam Payne had an unintentionally hilarious chat at the Oscars in March – which went viral due to the Wolverhampton-born star’s ‘Irish-American’ twang. 

Back in April, Liam finally spoke out about his ‘bizarre’ accent when he was interviewed about the infamous Will Smith slap after the Oscars.

The singer, 28 admitted he had ‘a lot to drink’ on the night of his now-famous interview with Good Morning Britain, where he defended his pal Will, 53, for slapping Chris Rock.

He described himself as a ‘social chameleon’ and called his accent is ‘ever-changing’ depending on who he is around, before insisting he is normally ‘good at accents’.  

Addressing his interview in an Instagram Live video, Liam joked: ‘I’m good at accents, I pride myself on them! I just wish sometimes I could do my own.

‘No I mean, what can I say about that really? It was quite funny.’  

The former One Direction star admitted that he had told the presenter not to ask him any difficult questions because he ‘had a lot to drink’, as his friends could be heard laughing in the background.

Liam went on to say he has listened back to his interview and said he ‘stands by’ his comments – which were slammed as ‘rambling – adding: ‘I’m just sorry it came out in so many accents! I’m not even sure if it’s an accent I can do.’

He then said people only need to watch back his X Factor audition for proof of his ‘ever-changing’, where he claims you couldn’t even tell he was from Birmingham.

‘I didn’t know the Birmingham accent was going to become really cool because of Peaky Blinders, but I don’t sound like I’m from Birmingham really [in the audition],’ he said.   ‘But when my mum’s here, you bl**dy bet I do!’

Lots to talk about: Brooklyn and Liam posed up for a snap back in 2018

Liam called himself a ‘social chameleon’ because his accent changes depending on who he is with, saying his bizarre twang emerged because he was staying with people who had different accents.

He added: ‘That day – I’ll tell you the truth – I was staying in a house with two German people, three people from Texas, one person from Liverpool and me. 

‘It sounded like one of those jokes people say where an Irishman and an Englishman walk into a pub!
