Robert Pattinson didn’t need a dialect coach to master his Southern twang for The Rover—he just turned to reality TV!
The 27-year-old British actor joked that he watched Swamp Wars to prepare for the role, telling E! News of his movie accent, “That actually might be where it came from!”
Really, though, the former Twilight hunk “was just kind of hoping” he was speaking accurately. “I was with a bunch of Australians,” he said, “and would ask, ‘Does this sound Southern?'”
