Robert Downey Jr Recalls Being Called Out By Kate Winslet For His ‘Worst British Accent’: “I Was Like ‘I’ve Got Better English Accent Than Jude Law At This Point…”

Robert Downey Jr is one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood with his Iron Man in the MCU, but after a long time, he has come out of that shell, and the world is ready to see him in another light as he prepares for his Oppenheimer to hit the theatres in a few days. But before that, the actor, along with chat show host Jimmy Fallon opened up about their failed audition for The Holiday, where RDJ had to face harsh criticism from the film’s actress Kate Winslet.

The film was directed by Nancy Meyers, starring Kate, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black and Jude Law; RDJ was called in for the role of Jude while Fallon was there for Black. For the uninitiated, Jude played the role of Watson in Downey-led Sherlock Holmes films, where the former was seen using a British due to the sleuth’s English background, but it came after the Meyers film.

As per Variety, Robert Downey Jr and Jimmy Fallon crashed The Howard Stern Show recently and shared the tale of their failed audition for The Holiday, and that’s when Downey revealed being called out by Kate Winslet for his English accent and she, even without mincing her words went on to criticise him by calling it really bad.
