I know he's spent a lot of time over in the US, but up until two years ago, when he was doing publicity for Reign Of Fire, he still had his strong British accent (he's actually Welsh).

Anyway, it's really bugging me.

Can someone's accent really change like that so quickly?

Well, if Madonna can affect a bad English accent....
