Apparently, Spacey’s Southern accent in House of Cards is ‘bizarre’.
Like most of us here in JOE, a lot of you have probably binge watched Season Three of House of Cards over the past day, but according to the good folk over at Vox, linguists say Spacey’s accent is actually ‘bizarre’.
In the video below, Vox explains why Spacey sounds the way he does in the show and they also explain to us how Irish settlers had an impact in how some people from South Carolina sound today.
It’s very interesting and the perfect thing to bring up down at the pub later on.
