My world was destroyed when I found out Hugh Laurie was British and now every time I turn around it's like fuck me the Spiderman kid is British too. Is the American accent "easier" because it's all howdy y'all and cheeseburgers? Have any of our English brothers ever been fooled like this?

It might be easier to fake an American accent for a few reasons:

- American media is more common in the UK than British media in America, so more people are exposed to it on a regular basis.

- The vast majority of Americans have the same accent with very minor differentiation. An American imitating a "British accent" might combine features of their many different accents.

I dunno, I mean even other actors didn't realize that Christian Bale wasn't American.

That one blew my mind.

Yeah, that was cray, but when he was doing Batman promotions he would do interviews in an American accent to not freak people out, so that's partially why.
