"I heard her speak in an interview and her accent did not sound Australian."
"What an ignorant comment, you probably think we all sound like the crocodile hunter. She sounds exactly like the average middle class, educated Australian. The so-called 'Australian accent' as portaryed in most movies belongs to those in the country, outback or working class subburbs. I have the same accent as her, as do most of my friends. My parents are also British but I am still an Aussie. "
I just watched her mansfield park interview on the dvd, & i didn't think she sounded completely australian either, she sounded like an australian who had lost her accent due to too much time spent in england.
btw, i'm australian. -

yes I know you put "etc." but who can forget those saucy Aussies! Australia creates some of the worlds most beautiful women! Must be something in the water. -

She is Australian. Just because you are in American produced movies doesn't mean she's American. SHe's been in plenty of Australian productions.

Whoever said Naomi Watts is Australian is wrong. She considers herself to be British and left the UK when she was 14 (fair enough if someone moves somewhere and adopts another nationality, but she hasn't she has stated a few times that she considers herself a Brit).
And the comment about Australians claiming anyone whoe is vaguely successful as their own was 100% right. I wonder why they do that? -

She moved to Australia when she was 2 years old so her whole childhood was based in Australia, so she is and always will be an Aussie. I never knew she was raised in Australia. Today I saw her in an Aussie movie, so weird seeing her talking Australian, I wonder if she will ever star in an Aussie movie again?
