While some stars are forced to fix their accent in order to get a specific role, some others appear to be speaking in accents despite not being a part of the said culture and heritage.

AceShowbiz - Also making headlines over controversial fake accent was Chet Hanks. The son of Tom Hanks sparked outrage after he spoke in bizarre Jamaican Patois, an English-based creole language that has West African influences, while gracing the Golden Globes red carpet in 2020 after joining Clubhouse.
Catching wind of criticism that he was doing a verbal blackface, Chet defended himself, "Guys, it's really as simple as this, if I get on a binge and I watch a bunch of English gangster movies, and I go around, ordering a coffee at Starbucks and I'm with my friend and I go, 'Give me a latte, guvna.' I'm not s***ing on English people."
