“How does Jamie Dornan, the only Irish person in the trailer manage to have the worst Irish accent of all of them?”
Earlier this month, the first trailer for the Irish romance starring Jamie Dornan and Emily Blunt was released, and every single accent was mocked mercilessly on Twitter.
The director of Wild Mountain Thyme, John Patrick Shanley, has defended the Irish accents in the film after they were deemed “awful” and a “hate crime” on social media.
“You have to make the accent more accessible to a global audience,” Shanley said, in response to the criticism.
