The Best Celebrity Impressions Ever

Though it is the job of an actor to impersonate another, it is clear that accents are hard to do. I’m sure we can all recount a film where we have recoiled at a dodgy English accent (Don Cheadle in Oceans 13 springs to mind). So, considering how few are able to successfully impersonate a nation’s accent, we were all the more impressed when we came across these actors doing accurate impressions of specific people- their fellow thespians. We have rounded up the best of the best for your pleasure and amusement. (Note: Alan Rickman, Owen Wilson and Michael Caine impressions were in abundance at GJ HQ during the making of this article.)
