While doing press for his new Netflix fantasy movie. DamselMillie Bobby Brown was asked about the heat she has received for what some consider a wavering accent, specifically during a recent appearance on tonight’s show. After interviewer Max Balegde helped her combat those questioning her British identity by giving her a Nando’s gift card, Brown took the opportunity to look directly into the camera and set the record straight, with her British accent, Of course.

“Let me talk about that real quick. I’m an actor. I grew up in the public eye. I grew up in the United States. I come to the set and I am an actress and I adapt, that’s why I want to imitate other people,” she explained. “I can’t help it when I’m around my fiancé, or when I’m with people like Jimmy Fallon who has a very American accent, I want to replicate it! And now I’m in England, I want to replicate that! I’m not doing it intentionally and I’m sorry if it offends you, okay? But listen, I’m doing my best!

It’s only natural that Brown adopted the accent of New Jersey Crown Prince Jake Bongiovi. And as for imitating Jimmy Fallon? At least when he starts calling people “dude” and “dude,” we’ll know why.
