Best Irish Accent by a Foreigner
September 11th, 2007
Sinéad Gleeson is back with a flurry of activity this week. A lot of new music I’ll have to check out, and a good question here:
Has anyone, who isn’t born and bred here, ever managed to pull off a decent Irish accent
A good few comments but I don’t think anyone has really hit the nail on the head. The only one that springs to my mind is Daniel Day Lewis, but he is an Irish citizen with an Irish father.

Her website seems to be down and the direct link seems to be broken anyway, so…
I reckon Brad Pitt made a good fist of a Northern accent when he was playing an IRA fella - I remember commenting on it at the time - and I thought his traveller accent was supberb in Snatch.
