Hilaria Baldwin is not the first celebrity to be toasted with a floating accent. All of these stars have been questioned over the years for their mysterious way of speaking.
Hilaria Baldwin
Yoga instructor wife Alec Baldwin was forced to explain the origins of his accent after the eruption of a social media tsunami in a December 2020 tweet that said, “You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her long decade of life, where she pretends to be a Spaniard.”
Social media users pointed to videos of the mother of five speaking in a pronounced Spanish accent – which seemed to contradict a December Instagram video in which she spoke with an American accent.
Although the agency speaker’s website lists her hometown as the island of Mallorca, Spain, the podcaster confirmed to fans after the outcry that she was actually born in Boston.
“There have been some doubts about where I was born, I was born in Boston … I spent part of my childhood in Boston, part of my childhood in Spain, my family, my brother, my parents, my nephew, everyone ended up there in Spain now, I’m here, ”said Baldwin.
She said she grew up speaking English and Spanish and added: “I am that person, if I have been speaking a lot of Spanish, I tend to mix them up or if I am speaking a lot of English, I mix it up, it is one of those things that I have always been a little insecure about. “
Madonna
In 1995, Madonna adopted a fake British accent while living in the countryside with her husband Guy Ritchie. Even the pop superstar later acknowledged that she looked ridiculous.
“I didn’t know what anyone was talking about until I heard old interviews from me,” Madonna said earlier this year, according to the BBC. “Why did you let me do this to myself? I’m from Michigan! ”
Naturally, Madge dumped all of Eliza Doolittle’s debris at her ex’s door.
“It’s all Guy Ritchie’s fault,” she said. “He made me do this.”
Dorit Kemsley
The confused accent of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Dorit Kemsley is so famous that it has become his season 7 slogan.
“When you travel the world, you can speak with the accent you want,” she said at the beginning of each episode.
In an interview with Bravo’s Daily Dish, Kemsley said she has a British affection because she is married to English businessman Paul Kemsley and was raised by non-American parents – and because she spent many years crossing the Lake.
“First of all, I am married to a Briton who has a very, very strong London accent, and I am sure that some of his inflections have affected me,” she said.
Chet Hanks
Tom Hanks was honored at the 2020 Golden Globe, but it was his son Chet Hanks who stole the spotlight – on social media – with his Instagram video.
The rapper, who probably grew up in rare circumstances as the son of Oscar winner and Rita Wilson, posted a video of him on the red carpet speaking in what appeared to be dialect.
“BIG UP FIMI WHOL FAMILY LOON WITH AT DI AWARDS AT VI CHUNE IN,” Chet subtitles the video.
He later defended the use of the Jamaican accent by comparing it to someone watching an English movie, going into a Starbucks and saying, “Hey, give me a latte, Govna”, with a Cockney accent.
“It’s not coming from a place like, ‘Oh, I’m going to attack these people,'” he said. “Do you know what I mean?”
Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan has spoken with some intriguing accents over the years.
In 2016, she debuted a vaguely European cadence, which mysteriously came and went. The “Mean Girls” star talked to the Daily Mail about her regular aural antenna.
“It is a mixture of most languages that I understand or am trying to learn. I have learned several languages since I was a child ”, he revealed. “I am fluent in English and French, I understand Russian and I am learning Turkish, Italian and Arabic.”
Then, in 2019, the actress exploded in an Australian accent to greet her Down Under fans – although she hails from Long Island.
