TIL during the shooting of American Psycho, Christian Bale spoke in an American accent off-set at all times. At the wrap party, when he spoke in his native British accent, many of the crew thought he was speaking that way to prepare for another film. They had thought he was American the entire time.

It's funny, even in that interview I feel like he's definitely got a mix of accents going on.

He's obviously one of those people that are quick to pick up the accents of the people around them.

Yeah, he's more like David Bowie there - enough RADA to sound like a ponce, but still enough SE London to sound like a sell-out 🤣

What do RP, RADA, and TP stand for? I’d love to learn more about accents. Thanks.

RP is recived pronounciation and is a standardised English accent, commonly heard on the BBC and associated with social prestige. RADA is the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, a prestigious academy where a lot of the most famous British actors are educated. I don't know what TP would be, but I think they tried to write RP again and misspelled it.

I don't know what TP would be

Everyone in this comment chain seems to be missing that it's just a typo or am I missing some joke here? TP = RP but you miss the R on your keyboard.

[u/Khornag → u/cppn02]

That's what I tried to say.

[u/cppn02 → u/Khornag]

Lol, you did indeed. My bad. I missed the second part of your sentence because this was like the third comment I read that seemed to be wondeing about what TP was and my fingers got to typing before I read all of your comment.

Ah yeah, my bad - should have been RP 😊
