Liam Payne confuses fans with ‘bizarre’ accent while defending Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock

Liam Payne fans were left baffled when they heard his “bizarre” new accent at the 2022 Oscars.

The former One Direction star spoke to Good Morning Britain on the red carpet at Elton John AIDS Foundation’s annual Academy Awards viewing party on Sunday night.

Defending Will Smith for smacking Chris Rock at the event, the 28-year-old said: “I believe whatever he felt that he did, he had the right to do.”

 

The singer continued: “Will Smith actually used to live behind my house, I had the pleasure of knowing his son and daughter very well and we did Men In Black 3 with him.”

“I believe whatever he felt that he did, he had the right to do. I also felt there were three losers in one fight. He didn’t know being Chris Rock, he didn’t wanna do what he had to being Will Smith, and she did nothing, being Jada.”

“It was a powerful moment for me to sit and watch one of the world’s best emoters we’ve ever seen speak from the heart and I would rather take the beauty out of the situation than take the pain.”

“But I had to leave my chair, I’ll be honest with you, it cut me really deep and I don’t get deep about these things but I’m a big movie fan.”

Liam went on to say: “Out of a horrible moment there was a little bit of beauty in what came on and I’m sure everyone’s apologetic about what happened.”

“But ask yourself what would you do in the situation, I don’t know how we would react, we’re all human.”

“I hope everyone’s ok. I really reach out to you guys, I hope you’re ok. And I don’t wanna expand a situation that doesn’t need to expand any further.”

“I think we all know what happened. Let’s just take the positive out of it.”

Fans took to Twitter to react to the interview, with many commenting on Liam’s unusual accent.

The singer is from Wolverhampton and resides in Los Angeles.

One fan tweeted: “What’s with the accent and what was he actually saying? Rambling word salad,” while another wrote: “Yeah Will Smith smacking Chris Rock is shocking, but what’s happened to Liam Payne’s accent?!”

A third penned: “I enjoy this video so much. The strange American/Irish/Dutch accent. The two minutes of pure wired-guy-talks-about-meaning-of-life-in-smoking-area energy. The lack of explanation as to why they actually asked Liam Payne in the first place?? Amazing.”
