Actors You Probably Didn't Know Were British

Henry Cavill

Unfortunately, Superman is not an American. Cavill was a Jersey native. Not that Jersey, though.

Idris Elba

Despite being a London native, Elba has not yet been given the official 007 role. Shaking his head

Christian Bale

We are often reminded that both Batman and Bateman are truly English during award season. Welsh birthplace of Bale.

Charlie Hunnam

Being from Newcastle upon Tyne, which has the least American-sounding name on the planet, he is the pinnacle of American TV bad***.

James McAvoy

Is there a smoother accent than that of McAvoy, who is Scottish? Look it up now.

Daniel Kaluuya

You might not have noticed Kaluuya's distinctively British accent until you first saw him in the distinctly British Black Mirror.

Tom Holland

It's not just Superman who hails from across the pond. Tom Holland from Kingston upon Thames is the real Peter Parker.

Tom Hardy

His deep vocals and several masks conceal a genuine London accent.
