Jason Bateman questions Robert Pattinson’s accent

Tags: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog

You guys, we’ve been insensitive. With all our excitement over the “Breaking Dawn” trailer, the epic Taylert smooch and “Eclipse”‘s sweep of nearly every MTV Movie Awards category, we never even stopped to think about how all the love for “The Twilight Saga” might be hurting the precious fee-fees of our local Hollywood bro squad! And when we caught up with “Horrible Bosses” stars Jason Bateman and Charlie Day during the broadcast, they weren’t afraid to tell us just how deeply wounded they were.

“Nothing but Brits,” Jason sniffed. “Lots of Brits on stage.”

Charlie looked similarly miffed—and no wonder, ’cause he’s keeping careful track of just how slighted they’ve been by the crowd’s general preference for Englishmen. “Fifteen Brits,” he complained. “Why do we let them in here? They win all our awards, they get all our acting jobs… you know, I COULD BE A VAMPIRE.”

Aww, Charlie. Sure you could! But it might be too late for these two to get hooked up with a cameo role in the supernatural romance; the bitterness clearly runs too deep.

“Pattinson’s accent—is it real?” asked Jason. “Because I heard Boca.”

“I’m pretty sure he’s from Van Nuys,” Charlie chimed in.

Uh-oh. Fighting words! And if RPattz ever finds himself face-to-face with either one of these guys, he’d better watch out—because they’re going to make him explain a few things.

“I’d give him an accent test,” Jason said.

“I’d ask to see a driver’s license,” Charlie said. “A birth certificate.”
