Agree. Her natural accent is thick Irish or Scottish, one of the two.

Kelly MacDonald as Carla Jean Moss in No Country. She's Scottish and Merida from Brave is very close to her natural accent.

Aussie Eric Bana's in Black Hawk Down wasn't great, but he's still my hero!

Root was born in Sarasota and is a UF Gator. His natural speaking voice is Southern, so it’s not much of a challenge for him.
