  • 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

  • @Paul2377 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

  • @Paul2377 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.

  • Every time i see John, i can't help smiling :3

  • @Paul2377 Watch Torchwood out-takes, there were scenes they shot again and again because they thought he sounded so 'scottish'

  • @Paul2377 do not insult john barrowman infront of me.

  • 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.

  • @murphe777 so you did buy her off the net then? you should of bought a thai bride instead theyre much cheaper and easier to transport

  • @cawthy07 My mistake, you're British. Let me change that to self-fellating chav inbred life.

  • @cawthy07 You're all class. I hope you enjoy your sorry excuse for an inbred redneck trailer trash life. :)
