25.10.2025 16:34 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If I'm not mistaken there are definitely some Yorkshire vowels going on in Jacob Elordi's accent in @realgdt.bsky.social #Frankenstein If that's deliberate because he learns most of his vocab from David Bradley then that's a genius decision! And the film is superb. LOVED IT!

My best mate Liz had Non Stop Erotic Cabaret on cassette and we'd play it while she did my hair, then I'd go off to the Phono and she'd go off to the Lesbian and Gay Soc disco.
Happy days. RIP Dave
