Kate Winslet says this ‘Oppenheimer’ actor has ‘the worst English accent’ ever
Howard Stern that fellow Oscar winner Kate Winslet couldn’t hold back her contempt over his attempt to pass for an Englishman during a unique joint audition for Nancy Meyers’ “The Holiday,” back in 2006, with Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon. “[Jimmy and I] both got called in just as seat-fillers,” the “Oppenheimer” and “Iron Man” actor recalled. “Jack Black is getting his part and Jude Law is definitely getting my part, but [Meyers] needed someone to read with the gals, and we’re sitting there going, ‘It’s about to happen for us.’”“I was like, I’ve got to have a better English accent than Jude Law at this point, and Winslet said, ‘That is the worst British accent I’ve ever heard in my life,'” Downey Jr.
