Ewan McGregor has revealed Emily Blunt talked him into using his posh Scottish accent in their new movie.
The Scot plays repressed fish scientist Dr Fred Jones in Salmon Fishing In The Yemen - based on the 2006 novel - and confessed he struggled with how far to go with the character's "prissy" accent.
"Fred's not Scottish in the book but there was no reason why he shouldn't be," he explained. "I just couldn't decide between English or a Morningside (an area of Edinburgh) accent, which is so uptight, it's perfect for him. But it's such an unromantic accent and as he's the romantic lead of the film, so I wasn't sure if it would work."
He said Emily finally persuaded him to opt for Morningside. "She said, 'You've got to do the accent'," recalled the star.
