Liam Payne finally addresses ‘ever-changing’ accent in infamous Oscars interview: ‘I’d had a lot to drink’Louise Griffin

Liam Payne has finally spoken about what he’s dubbed his ‘ever-changing’ accent in that now-infamous Oscars interview.

In a chat that almost overshadowed Will Smith hitting Chris Rock at the Academy Awards, Liam was interviewed on Good Morning Britain about it, with many questioning why the Wolverhampton-born musician suddenly sounded like he was from the Netherlands.

‘This was in Oscars week – the ever changing accent,’ the musician began on his Instagram Live on Monday night.

‘I’m good at accents, I pride myself on them! I just wish sometimes I could do my own,’ he giggled.

‘What can I say about that really? It was quite funny. I had asked Good Morning Britain, the presenter, I said, “Please don’t ask me too much because I’ve had a lot to drink and I’m under-ly educated about the Oscars [sic].”

‘The very first question the man asked me was, “What do you think about Will Smith?” Now can you imagine, imagine being put on the spot in that moment and knowing, “I can’t say anything wrong because I’m gonna upset someone” and I just did the best I could.’

‘I actually read back what I said and I stand by what I said. But I’m just sorry it came out in so many accents!’ the singer added. ‘I’m not even sure if it’s an accent I can do.’
