Damson Idris Learned American Accent from Famous Rapper
• Damson Idris Learned A... - Розваги
He did so good, it almost makes his real accent sound fake
Nah lol we know he one of us 😂
SAMETHING I WAS THINKING
I'm british but the dont sound right
Yoooo fr
To be honest, he might be, that doesn't sound like a Peckham accent
he switches from English to American like it's nothing
Its sounds like a white person trying to sound black. And thats how he acts. He seems afraid of black Americans.
Yoshi more yeah because English and American are so different lol
Can't believe idiots who claim he sounds like a white person trying to sound black. Are u really that dense? That's how Brits speak and he is from England and yes in many ways British English is different to American english
@@MsDesiree39 You just admitted that he is not black American so yes he sounds like white people imitating black Americas saying yo yo yo
@@Smarty2able The accent is different.
To impersonate an American accent is one thing but to speak in an LA accent/dialect is a-whole-nother thing and talent! I’m amazed he’s actually British! Lol
Right
I was thinking of Idris
But he doing a West coast accent
Perfectly whole another level of acting skill
He can do a New York accent too haha his Jay Z impression is amazing
Well most people think Christian Bale is not British either. That's why they are called actors.
@@AnnaLVajda Wtf. Christian Bale is British too?
Dub c
Snowfall is the most underrated show on tv right now.
I’ve been binge watching the show for the last few days and I’m hooked.... I’m on season 4 episode 7 and I don’t want it to end. Is there a season 5 out yet?
@@tarawilliams198427 no season 5 ain’t out yet
Kind of overrated now. Everybody an they mama on it.
tarawilliams198427 I’ve also been binge watching the last few weeks. I’m 2 episodes ahead of you. I looked it up today and season 5 is going to be in 2022
@@tarawilliams198427 the show rlly old yall late asf
That switch from British accent to American accent was so fluid! He good!
Fluent
*he's
@@babylondon9893 Thanks Dondi 😂👌🏾 Capitolize the "H" and you got it right lol. *He's
Leonard Grant I think fluid would still make sense
Naw he good just like he said it dang let people live spell and talk as they please f*ck outta hea!!!
If Dub-C was able to accomplish this type of transformation, they need to hire him as a dialect coach for every hood movie and show. This kid is amazing.
PurelyAfrican Perhaps you're right, but it's still a very good job and he should be complimented for it.
Its WC!
PurelyAfrican and with all that talent, he still needed this coach! Give props where due... it's easy!
Yess.
AveIvy amazing
Seeing this interview and hearing his accent makes me even more impressed with his acting in snowfall. I thought this dude was a California native turns out he's a Harry Potter. This dude is Oscar bound.
Bro did you call him A Harry Potter wtf
@@astrum_nauta Harry Potter 😂😂😂😂
N*gga be smoking to much.😂😂😂😂
“He’s a Harry Potter,”. Classic hahahahahahha I love it!
Not Harry Potter 😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂
This man is beautiful.
Sexy
Yessssssssss Lawd .
honestly im in awe
I wanna feel his skin
extremely
He's not lying. That shopping centre in elephant and castle is horrible
P.G23 Yeah it is. Better off going oxford street tourist area which isn’t too far away.
I be forgetting its supposed to be a Shopping center, I just see it as a Tube and Bus station lol
I've seen worse.
But how is the CVS?
Not to mention the roundabouts and hard to cross nightmarish streets around there.
I've never even seen him act but i can tell hes a good actor just by the way he sold that LA accent lmao
If you watch the show, he's literally the standout
Uncle Bernard he switches in and out of the accent like it's nothing. He's good.
He has acted snowfall
He was in a episode in Black Mirror, one of the season five episodes
GelícaA Now that tripped me out because all along I thought he was American. I was like “wow he’s making moves everywhere”. I then looked him up and felt real stupid.
His flip into American then back to the British accent is so smooth.
TO SOUND AMERICAN MATE IS EASY... ALL WE DO IS TALK LIKE WE HAVE A MOUTH FULL OF FOOD
@@merlinlevi3902 then switch between your “easy” accent and British accent and let’s see how good you are 🙄🙄
@@merlinlevi3902 go eat your beans on toast
Y’all don’t know how hard this is 😂 so he’s not just imitating an American Accent he’s mimicking a more distinct LA accent
No American accent is hard apart from that fish accent I heard one time in south Virginia
@@JT-km6th I agree, American accents are extremely difficult but since everyone around the world drowns in American content from birth its easier to pick up the accent now
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 you agree but disagree 😂
@@JT-km6thagree to disagree*
This is amazing, only the Snowfall fans truly understand lol
Sealz the Man IKR! I didn’t know he was British though. Bomb ass acting
@@Baesicc seriously, it seems like the best actors are low key Brits now
Bro his accent in snowfall compare to his natural accent is so bug out lmaoo
Yes
Damn I might have to start watching this show lol. What “channel” does it come on?
This kid has a Denzel Washington swagger on the series snowfall, great actor!!
pirolas03 that is probably where he looked to for inspiration.
Yessssss!!!
Yes I agree ❗️
pirolas03 facts
It's funny u should say that. Denzel Washington is his hero... So it stands to reason.
his smile is so infectious and he's a great storyteller. i sat here smiling the entire time ugh i love him. 😍
Hello,this is my private account where I chat with fans,you are one lucky fan to receive a free chatting from me you can chat with me anytime any day I will get back to you,thanks for your likes and comments ❤🙏
Calm down lol
literally
This young man is going to be a huge star. Very talented.
He is
Idris must mean fine af in some other language because Idris Elba and now this. I need a one way ticket to the Land of Idris.
I'd like to tag along sis!
Leslie Sinclair ...Me 2... please take me with y’all!!!
2 of my brothers are called Idris, come to West Africa lots of Idrises,
@@dlilwon oh yes! I've started hanging out at a Caribbean club recently. Lots of beautiful African and Jamaican men ❤️
I'd tag along, too! Yes indeed!!
His LA accent is on point too! WC did an excellent job in coaching Damson.
So we got 2 guys named Idris from England who can do this huh?
foreal lol like how he says homie like haomie
That part, he really got that LA accent down pack...i really thought he from the LAnd!! Besides the accent he a great actor no doubt
That's what I'm saying. His portrayal of the LA accent is better than Daniel Ezra, but both do a very great job.
@@omfgCantGetaUsername he really does WC need to be the dialect coach on All American
“We went to a restaurant called Popeyes”😂
Lol. He called it a restaurant too. It's funny how he makes it sound special.
The funniest
Lol
It's crazy to me that his accent is so perfect. Even Leon does a really great LA accent for somebody from Atlanta. It's crazy because there are loads of actors who can't pull it off and these guys are killing it!!! Just started watching this show btw
Man boy is from Virginia. They all perfected the west coast accent.
same with shameik whose from ATL but could pull off an NY accent
@@MrBison-eq8hbI thought manboys acting was superb also
That’s what stood out to me the most. Me and my bro are from Memphis and I would hear him watching it and think “where is this located” just because I could hear the distinct dialect. Once I learned the setting was Cali I thought all of those guys were from there lol never would have guessed one of the mfers was from outside the Country 🤣
This dude is chill af
The way he switches his dialect is way to good😂
Andrew Calhoun accent*
This guy kills it in Snowfall. Franklin is a menace
I no longer see the “thuggery” in him 😂
Lowkey hurt my heart 😭😩
😂😂
:c
Facts 😂😂😂 the dark tone and everything is gone
@@c98tx27 right 😭he just need a dab of it in him and I’ll be all for it 😂 (lowkey still an cause he still fine asf)
This guy kinda made me want to check out his show lmao
A.M Lash the show is fuckimg awesome
A.M Lash me too.hes cool
The show is lit AF. im hooked.
A.M Lash yaaaaassss
I need s2 of the show snowfall it's good
“ain’t nothing but a g thing” CLICK “oh my gosh there’s a gangster waiting for me downstairs” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
LMAOOOOOOOOO
😭😭😂😂😂
Dude a great actor, swear I wasn’t expecting him to sound like that fr
He's mad funny and a great storyteller.
Dub C!!!
"He transformed me from a British wimp to an American gangster." 😂😂😂
Gotta love it.
Transitioned*
Gangster lol wtf
That was legendary 🤣🤣
He did a HINT of Denzel Washington.With those hand movements.
TroubleChizzy2010 You are right! It’s transformed. Transition in English ( British) isn’t a verb but a noun for the process of transforming!
American version is different but well understood and accepted anyway! It seems silly whenever an American tries to correct the standard English( UK) version!
You will be surprised when the noun ( loan) is used as a verb in US!( very confusing to the British). Lend is practically unknown and borrow is scarcely used in US.
He seems like such an awesome guy
Man. Crazy how WC was his dialect coach. Even crazier how believable his character is in Snowfall. WC is an OG and Snowfall one of the best shows out. Been a fan since first episode.
"Get that biscuit! Dip it in the honey! Dip it in the honey!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
“British Wimp to American Gangster” needs to be a new movie
Starring 21 Savage
SSK Music Beats That’s cold lol
starts the movie as Daniel ends it as MF DOOM.
21 savage
They did something merely similar to that in Green street hooligans
Such a cool, calm and collected guy!
Abdirisak Awes bool balm and bollective
Abdirisak Awes waa runtaa sxb
glad i started watching snowfall when it first came out, show is literally GOATED and this man is such an amazing actor.
My older brother went to school and university with damson and I can honestly say he is one of nicest and kindest person you will ever meet
He's so damn fine 😍😍 & funny 😂
And charming...
He is sooo fine! I'm trying to get him to notice me. Lol.
U all love him because of the accent isn't it
bailey1950 smh. Snowfall.
dmgillis stg
Don’t ask no stupid question! DIP IT IN THE HONEY! Lol
Lmfaoo
😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😂
this interview was everything . I am always baffled when I see actors from american shows are british. Beautiful man
He’s adorable.
So strange to hear people talking about my ends on mainstream telly
Jorgino trust me, salute to Damson for reppin the endz👏👏👌
Yea yeah. Ya dunno Bruv.
I’m from America I just wanted to do that.
What is your ends? Your hood?
+MrTrumusichead - yeah, it means where you live, your hood, your area etc...
I'm just waiting for someone to hail from Tottenham. Much love to Peckham tho!! 🙌🏾
KENNINGTON WHERE MY HEART IS
He was in Black Mirror. He did a SPECTACULAR job. Very believable. Kid can act his butt off
@Maryah Mason Season 5, Episode 2.. "Smithereens"
THAT WAS HIM???
@@jkeefer12 yep
Everyone calling him a kid but this nigga like 28 yo LMAO
@@RysMarOfficial lol
“Elephant castle? Really?” “Yea, elephant caustle” 😭😭
I notice that lol
yeah it's actually called Elephant & Castle
Tried to make it sound more crazy. Elephant AND Castle. One simple trip on the underground you would realise.
Bar-Bar 😂
It’s crazy how effortlessly he switches
“Dip it in the honey!” 😂😂
Took me out 🤣🤣
"DIP IT IN THE HONEY! DIP IT IN THE HONEY!" LMBO!!!
This might be the smoothest thing I’ve ever seen. Back and forth between accents like a boss.
Best young emerging male actor. Period. Very, very talented.
He's actually Nigerian🇳🇬🇳🇬✊🏿
solomon ayodele and he’s playing an akata which y’all don’t like 😏
@@darob20 I'm really trying hard here, But I don't get you man.
@@hadesBOLT akata is the word Nigerians call AA in America..it's not a word that Nigerians even know outside of america yet they cry all day about it.
@@asanwa3126 grow up...everyone got called that...ugh
darob20 yikes, your divisive nature jumped out. Totally unnecessary, the man is in fact nigerian, no matter what role he plays. And no africans were complaining about him playing a black american.
2:04 He takes me to a restaurant called Popeye's. 👀👀👀
Yooooooo Bahahahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
there's no Popeye's in the UK 😂😂😂 UK equivalent for black brits ( in London esp) is Morley's
😂😂😂
@@taytubetul8267 I'm a black Brit in London and I've never heard of Morleys 🤔. Do you mean KFC??
sensimania Morley’s is the ghetto version of KFC
@@jasminclarke9309 well ok then! 😆
I watch Snowfall and have never miss a single episode and I STILL forget he's British every single time until I run across something like this to remind me again, lol.
WC is a legend. From Low Profile to the MAAD Circle to Westside Connection. You were mentored by one of South Central’s realest.
Wc my favorite rapper

Snowfall, top 3 best shows on TV.
who's your other 2 if u dont mind sharing ?
La west philly Power and Peaky Blinders
never saw pinky blinders will check it out
Facts #1 for me though👌🏽
I totally agree I can't wait for the season finale of snowfall it actually comes on tonite I cried last week when Franklin got shot I knew that damn crackhead was looking for a gun,smh... it's about to get really really real now by the way I like that picture of you eks loaded ❤
He made Popeyes sound So fancy🤣🤣🤣
The most interesting interview I've seen from Kimmel in years.
I know he's promoting "Snowfall", but now I'm more interested in seeing a show about the adventures between this Black Englishman and W.C. (Dub-C) 🤣🤣🤣
Who else clicked on this cause he was so handsome.
Me af lol
MEEE.
I clicked because of the “Idris” name
V to
Hopefully just men.
Idris Alba Opened Up A Massive Door for all the British Actors to Flood Hollywood . . . . . Many Thanks
A reason for this is due to the British class system. Many successful actors in the UK are from a privileged background who had the right connections and networks to land big roles. Those from a lower class are at a disadvantage so they find it easier to get the acclaimed, juicy roles in the US since class is irrelevant here.
Actually no. There are other black actors before idris Elba from England.
@@Janexcalibur MY guy damson wasn't privileged yet he landed this role. London isn't just full of rich people they're many that are unprivileged. Idris did open the door. Thank God he did.
No. British actors were doing this way before Idris. You must be 18 years old.
BleedingGreenNation BleedingGreenNation delroy lindo
The main character from all American accent switches smoothly too
He’s very posh for a Pecknam boy lol ❤
It's crazy how the ocean separates cultures.
That’s a deep thought. So true.
@Tessa Thurman britain is the size of a large American state and yet the same is true for it, I guess cause it’s so old. But also that is a crazy logic Americans can have to find reason in not travelling abroad lol
Bruhhh.....you so right
oh yeah?
Heavy Denzel undertones when he's animated.
U picked up on that also lol
"Omg theres a gangster for me waiting down stairs" nigga you from Peckham 😂
Props to Dub C💯🤟🏽
Dip that biscuit!!! 😂😂😂
Dave dip the burger in the diabetes 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Dub C is a dialogue coach? Lmao
Obviously a good dialect coach. Immersive technique.
DIP DA BISCUIT IN DA HONEY
This guy is one of my favorite actors, amazing work!
He’s a great actor I loved his role in snowfall
“Elephant castle where I grew up
Don’t try take me for a mug”
- R.S
I've been watching snowfall since the day it came out an I NEVER knew he had an accent
Dewayne Cooper same here. And I've seen every episode twice. That's the power of good acting
Why do Americans say he has a accent 🤣🤦🏾♂️ Americans think the world revolves around them EVERYONE has a accent 🤦🏾♂️
woody you just said everyone has an accent dumbass 🤦🏾♀️ so he has an accent and someone with a different accent can hear his accent
Same
@@Jenna-zl9su lol got em
I don't know what's crazier, the fact that he's from the UK or that his dialect coach is Dub C! 🤯
This man is so talented. Literally amazes me ❤️
My guy has dat accent and hes from Peckham, thats how u kw he a good actor
berkay yil it’s called survival
Lmao
berkay yil RIGHT ‼️‼️‼️
Real talk. Was surprised to hear he was English, and even more shocked he was from Peckham
@@vijaydanushkodi4980 your a keyboard warrior and ur probably Asian. You haven't a clue.
Hope he gave you smthn to drink with that Popeyes biscuit fam
dc7236 😂😂😂
Innit
Fr tho 😂
I think he did
If he ain’t have a drink he deff woulda died choking
Dry as fuk
He is so fine... goodness. 😍 He switches like it's nothing and he's hilarious! Ugh... So talented.
Because it is nothing lol you just don't have the talent
Never thought I'd say this, but this is gonna be the first time I watch a show solely based on an actor's interview. Like damn, this guy is unbelievably good.
Have u started yet?
So many English actors in american roles.
Curtis Roberts exactly!
We both speak English, the only thing that separates us is an accent.
I dont have a problem with it but no that isnt the only thing. References, cultural formalities, terminology. We are pretty different in alot of ways and similar in others.
.
Oscars so British
This kid is outstanding on Snowfall. He needs an Emmy..bravo
I must have watched this like 20 times back to back. I absolutely love Damson, he’s an amazing actor and how he switches his accent and goes back and fourth at the drop dime. He could play two characters in a movie. Hmmm movie could be called “Twin” I have a whole script in my mind already 😂
Hello,this is my private account where I chat with fans,you are one lucky fan to receive a free chatting from me you can chat with me anytime any day I will get back to you,thanks for your likes and comments ❤🙏
never though the day would come when i’d hear elephant and castle on a jimmy Kimmel episode 😂😭
He had that west coast accent down. He can act and Dub C did his thang
Whaaaattttttt 😮 I would’ve never guessed he was not from LA! Wow he’s talented fr
It's crazy I'm just seeing this video, it blew my freakin mind. OMG I can't believe it. WoW wow Wow he from the UK wwhhat!
i can barely do a proper LA accent. this dude is from a whole different country and had me fooled for 2 seasons
Dangerous they can act like Black Americans do things pass it off on us
Kevin Schart u ain’t the only one B 😭😂😂
@@Kevinschart 🤣 damn never knew
U gotta be kidding me his voice is really like this wow we have no real American actors wow
nah we do. Idk why they keep casting British people tho. Not that there’s anything wrong with it
I normally ask the same question when the cast people in their 30s as students
well Americans got to step their game up, british must be doing something right. i think its to do with the actor training for one, lat i checked uk actors need to work in theatre before acting gigs in tv or film.
You do, British people just tend to be more talented, it's good to see that America is finally realising this
K Twine what are you trying to say people talent are based on their nationality shut up you make no sense.
I just started watching Snowfall and fell in love with this man. Something about him and that accent 😍🍫
And he went to my secondary school (Walworth School back then, Walworth Academy now) I wish him all the best! Keep it up Damson 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh wow he went Walworth
Damn thats a beautiful chocolate man
Yesssssss omg yessssssss
He's a kid to me but I'd totally go cougar for some of that
angellique Clarke 🤣🤣 love it!
@@angelliquec305 😂😂 I feel ypu girl, he's finnnne
Yo chill
Omg his voice that’s incredible!!!
Bro if this nigga came up to me and spoke to me with his LA accent. I would think he's from LA lol. You gotta keep in mind that He's not only doing an American accent, he's doin one from a specific region which is amazing
Omg! Mind. Blown!
Why ?
At this point we need to accept they stop using black Americans for big parts
After the Get Out guy
I just said
Every dark skinned man in Hollywood is African
Like the real moisturized velvet skinned ones
Automatic British African
He's beautiful. 😍☺️
GET THAT BISCUIT DIP IT IN THE HONEY DIP IT IN THE HONEY
I just started watching this show and I saw the beginning on hulu , no regrets. Snowfall is EXCELLENT
wow! he makes a great american accent
It's Elephant and Castle.
AroundTheCorner he said elephant and castle just said the and really fast
@@katyeleri8797 nah it was Jimmy who kept saying Elephant Castle. It jarred my spirit
I wonder he’s a good choice to play new black panther replacement for Chadwick 🙏🏽🕊
Same
Yeah.. In a prequel.. It would be great.
Yessss
That’s a fact
This was amazing to watch omg
"Oh my Gosh there's a gangster waiting for me downstairs!" 😂😂😂
The way he described elephant and castle, was so precise
Apart from missing the and part lol or Jimmy just didn’t hear it once
Up the elephant and around the castle, it's a South London thing!
His eyes are so glossy ✨
God!!! He is so good at switching accents!
