Mischa Barton: Nobody believes Im a Brit
Mischa Barton has admitted she tried to lose her British accent when she went to live in New York.
The OC star, 23, revealed that most people do not realise that she is originally from the UK or that her family are British.
She said: “I’m British, although everyone thinks I’m American… but my entire family is British and I’ve been raised as a Brit.
“But nobody can get their head around the fact I’m anything but a Hollywood girl. In the US, nobody thinks of me as American and [in the UK], nobody believes I’m British.”
She added: “I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I consciously tried to lose my English accent. When I lived in New York, I tried really hard to ditch the British accent to fit in.
“It’s a mess – I don’t sound like I’m from anywhere any more.”
