Mike Myers
Mike Myers is one of the biggest comedy talents in Hollywood with hit movies such as Austin Powers and Shrek, as well as writing and performing credits on the phenomenally successful American television show Saturday Night Live.
Mike’s British heritage explains why his big screen characters rarely speak with an American accent. His 1960s time-travelling alter ego Austin Powers is a Londoner while everyone’s favourite ogre, Shrek, is Scottish. “Doing Shrek is like a family reunion,” says Mike with a broad grin. “I love these people. I think Eddie Murphy is the biggest comedic talent in Hollywood. I love Cameron, and Julie Andrews is just a goddess. I have such a great time. You get to be really silly. I do get very happy when I’m in this world.” Shrek is certainly amongst the best animation movies created in Hollywood and it would be silly to poke fun at the accent at the been leant to the movie by these stars, so all there is to do is to go watch the movie and come home smiling.
