> [@Baron\_Greenback](#): > > Sean’s Scottish accent is pretty unusual in itself, it’s like his dentures don’t fit properly, or his tongue is too big for his mouth or something. Isn’t it some sort of hybrid of an obscure local Scots accent with an obscure local Welsh accent? ---

> [@foolsguinea](#): > > Isn’t it some sort of hybrid of an obscure local Scots accent with an obscure local Welsh accent? When Warner Bros. created the Bugs Bunny character, Mel Blanc asked what kind of personality he would have. They said “He’s a tough little stinker,” so Blanc combined the two toughest-sounding accents he could think of-- Brooklynese and The Bronx. How Blanc “mixed” those two accents I don’t know; same with Sean Connery “mixing” Scottish and Welsh accents. ---

[quote=“gkster, post:24, topic:777395”] I’d forgotten how cheesy “Sword of the Valiant” is! Here’s the “talking head” scene: [/QUOTE] Did Connery lose a bet to Richard Harris or something? Or was he drunk when he signed on (which would account for the accent)? 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sean-connery-movie-oscar-winner/777395.md?page=1)
