Pierce Brosnan relentlessly mocked for Icelandic accent in Netflixs Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of F – The Sun

IF you thought Pierce Brosnans singing in Mamma Mia! was bad, you are going to have a hoot watching his new film.

He appears in Netflixs Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga opposite Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams and the star has been relentlessly mocked since its release on Friday for his dodgy Icelandic accent.

Pierce plays fisherman Erick Erickssong, whose son, Wills character Lars, represents Iceland at Eurovision.

And viewers have been left in hysterics by Pierces vocal delivery, which they said sounded more like Welsh, Irish and even Italian than that of someone from Iceland.

Liam Fallon wrote on Twitter: Pierce Brosnans Icelandic accent is somehow worse than his Mamma Mia! singing.

And referencing a town in Wales, Ciron Gruffydd tweeted: I think Pierce Brosnan had learned an Icelandic accent for this one and went shopping in Iceland Pwllheli as his only research.

Thankfully he was stopped from giving any vocal musical performances.

Pierce joked: I did bring in my platinum album, my gold album and said, Look, I got this from Mamma Mia! Why dont I have a song here, guys?

I think Will got a little bit...I think he just got a little bit sensitive about that, and you know, ego.

That was probably for the best.

And Kanye, who was in the studio with Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre at the weekend, had good news for fans today when he announced his tenth album Gods Country.

One fan said: Looks like she took apart the couch and made an outfit.

Given that Kanye is launching a clothing range with Gap next year, I hope his High Street options are a bit more down-to-earth.
