Pierce Brosnan defended his accent on the new Paramount+dramatic series, ‘Mobland’when spectators and critics described it as “completely ridiculous”.

The actress, who has starred James Bond, starred with Helen Miren in the new police drama with Guy Ricci. In the series he plays the leader of gangster, Conrad Harigan. Both Brosnan and Miren have been criticized for the loyalty of their Irish pronunciation in the program, with Brosnan specifically distinguished because he comes from Drogunda in Lutt County, Ireland.

The actor responded to this criticism by arguing that his interpretation of Conrad Harigan – who comes from Kerry County on the southwestern coast of Ireland – demanded a wider Irish accent than his own.

“My pronunciation is very soft. Conrad’s pronunciation is a million miles away ‘ He told Radio Times, adding that his vocal training was based on a real pronunciation and that he worked with a dialect coach.

“I told him I needed a pronunciation of the Kerry area, ”he said. “So he gave me the name of a man and I searched the guy on Google and that was all. It was a pronunciation of Kerry County. And so, I just adopted her to the fullest » clarified.

Critics who didn’t have to say the best about the series reacted to Pierce Brosnan’s pronunciation. Some characterize Brosnan’s Irish pronunciation irrational – even more inexplicable if one thinks he is actually an Irishman.

On social media, viewers have made similar criticism, with user writing on X/Twitter: “Pierce Brosnan is the only man who was born and raised in Ireland from Irish parents who cannot speak with Irish accent.”
