Celebrity learning English accent ???

0 I'm desperately intrigued to know as how long the following people took in learning new accent, particularly those who learnt broad British English accent.02br

00Who did they take their lessons from & how long it took them to learn their new English accent ???02br
02br
00>> Mike Myers (American to English)02br
00>> Renee Zellweger (American to English)02br
00>> Gordon Brown (Scottish to English)02br
00>> Pierce Brosnan (Irish to English)02br
00>> Colin Ferrell (Irish to American)02br
02br
00I particularly like Mike Myers' British accent (as in Austin Powers movie).02br

00Similarly, I'd equally be interested in knowing about other famous people (or even from non-famous or people around), learning new accent, be it be learning a particular "regional" or "national" accent.02br
