The Best Celebrity Impressions Ever
Words: Violet
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.)
