Leo Woodall

[chibicosmos]

Might be an unpopular opinion but i really did like him more in White Lotus... the accent and the wearing the hat on the boat while flirting with Portia like idk, something about that energy and that accent just UGH

They accent was horrific. Not a sexy accent at all. Not a fan of that Essex lad accent.

i bet his hole is nice and pink and tastes like strawberries

I know people think this, that's why i said it might be an unpopular opinion. I get that people hated TOWIE and it's an accent that's so easy to take the piss out of. But for me it just suited him with the sexy, flirty, fuckboy energy he had

 

[hello91185]

Agreed. I loved the accent.

That filthy Essex accent is simultaneously a huge red flag AND a huge turn-on, it's just science.

Idk I’m American so no idea what Essex tells about a person haha.

The stereotype is mainly horny and dumb... and sexy

Must be why I like his accent: my type.

Check out "The Only Way Is Essex".

Tragic reality show but watchable if you like that kind of thing. (I sometimes do, so no judgment.)

Hard to think of a precise US equivalent. Kind of like a blue-collar (or nouveau riche) New Jersey accent but without the "white ethnic" subtext.

As for people themselves, sort of a suburban, striving, possibly a little closed-off-to-change vibe. Can't generalize about everyone in Essex, but that's the stereotype. Again, suburban areas of NYC are a proximate: people whose parents or grandparents left the big city, and if they're wealthy now, it's new money.

The hottest scene

 

[Alditra]

They're so cute together regardless of their sexuality. Hope their characters get some spicy scenes tonight!

What sexuality? Someone gay there? Who?

 

[Im23XXzz]

I’m struggling. Going without seeing Leo every week… a chance of a nice topless shot or seeing his butt. Umpfff… it’s not easy.

 

[timosports]

Definitely need more of this guy, he’s not shy to show off that beautiful ass and bulge

He's gorgeous, love his ass tooView attachment 84057911View attachment 84057941

The accent was totally appropriate, and authentic. Very surprising for an American produced series who generally seem to think there's only one British accent. Can you imagine the character working as way being played with a generic Southern middle class accent?

Exactly. Not just the accent, the dialogue for incredibly truthful to the character.

"Awright geezah?" hehe

 

[distant_cousin]

Their accents are wildly different, which is especially telling in Britain. Not that a nephew and uncle would always have the same economic status, but usually it's not night and day. Not just the accents but the whole gestalt. It'd be like... maybe a more snobbish Anderson Cooper, but with even more money, palling around Italy with a blue-collar young guy from New Jersey who doesn't even know the word for "two" in Italian.

Even with all that, I still didn't see this particular twist coming, nor did a lot of other people, as obvious as "he's gotta be rough trade" might appear in hindsight.

Exactly. Perhaps non British audiences can't read the nuance, but as you say the supposed link between the two was immediately questionable from the many social class cues.
