Love him or hate him--never underestimate the extent of Justin Bieber's talent. The 18-year-old megastar just one-upped himself over the weekend by conducting a radio interview...using a British accent the entire time.Justin Bieber
If this sounds like a recipe for disaster, here's a surprise: He actually carried it off! The native Canadian sat down with a real Brit--a host for London's Capital FM radio--and glibly promised to use the accent for the duration of the interview as part of a challenge. He managed fairly well, even tossing appropriate slang such as "rubbish" into his conversation.When asked by the interviewer where he learned the accent, Bieber shrugged and joked, "This is just how I talk!"
However, he did have a minor slip. About three-quarters of the way through, he laughed and said "I can't keep doing this," slipping back into his North American English for a moment before picking up character again.
"Do you think that my English accent's quite good, my friend?" Bieber quipped to his interviewer, who agreed it was a passable attempt. "If you walk in right now you might not even know that I'm not an Englishman!"
Want to judge for yourself? Have a look at the video. We think he's at least as good as Madonna when it comes to faking the Brit thing.
