Christian Bale won a Golden Globe for his role in Vice at this year’s award ceremony and thanked satan in his speech—still, what most people are shocked about is his foreign accent. Were you also today-years-old when you realized The Dark Knight actor is British?

The internet’s genuine shock made us realize there’ve been a ton of other celebrities we—for quite some time— presumed to be American. Most recently, rising star Ella Mai, for example.

Ella Mai rose to stardom after her hit song “Boo’d Up” won hearts all over our country last year. She sings with an American accent on the track, so when she started doing press, people were surprised to learn the young superstar-in-the-making is actually a south London native.

Hit the flip for other celebs we definitely thought were American as apple pie…the last on the list will really surprise you.

Iris Elba

Maybe it’s all the years Mr. Elba played a kingpin from Baltimore on The Wire that had folks confused. People not only thought he was American, they thought he was faking when he did interviews in his native English accent.

Lindsay Lohan

Hilariously enough, Lindsay Lohan really is from New York…but has randomly started speaking in somewhat of an English accent at times, acting as though it’s genuine. We can’t keep up.

Iggy Azalea

Like Ella Mai, Iggy Azalea rose to stardom by way of music. When Iggy rapped, she didn’t have a foreign accent and it wasn’t until she started doing press that everyone realized she’s actually Australian.

Alfred Enoch

This seems to be at least one that folks were aware of…still, his American accent on How To Get Away With Murder is so good, from time to time everyone forgets he’s English.

Damson Idris

Perhaps the most surprising of them all is Damson Idris, who plays the lead character on the FX series Snowfall. The show is all about how the crack cocaine epidemic took over South Central L.A. in the ‘80s but surprise, surprise…he’s English!
