Could have been avoided if we had any English or British actors capable of pulling off a leading-man role.
Sadly they’re all either foppish homos like Hugh Grant or that ‘Mr Darcy’ tool, or concave-chested weaklings like Jude Law or Orlando Bloom or ‘Character Actors’ (i.e. as ugly as sin with wooden teeth from the stone age).
Besides, a country that allows the ultimate David Niven English action hero, ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ (and family) to become a load of Americans is a country with no stones whatsoever.
We deserve all the cod-accent treatment we get, until we start producing proper Movie Stars instead of little supporting actors, and Crowe should have said that, he was no doubt thinking it.
