Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, & Charlie Hunnam Teach You Texan and English Slang | Vanity Fair

[kassiewithak]

Matthew is like the kid in school who just changes the PowerPoint slides in a presentation and the other two do all the talking 😂😂

[dinagrivicic]

Mcconaghey is the most relaxed dude ever, in any situation. Nothing phases him. I aspire to that level of chill.

[tommiegirl]

Nobody says "Bless Your Heart" like a southern woman. It can be a compliment, a commiseration, a dismissal or an outright insult... And spoken so sweetly.

[imnickcooley]

McConaughey stuck to the Texan code and didn’t give y’all quite the entire meaning to “Bless your heart” lol

[Vapegician]

Their sitting postures pretty much represents their nationality

[MrKaje]

Charlie has like six accents fighting for attention here😂

[sarahsatyr]

I love how Matthew explains/describes a slang word or phrase...by using another slang or phrase.

[silverrubygirl]

The faces of Hugh and Charlie at the end of Matthew's explanation of the expression "corn-fed"- priceless 😂

[Bsudmann]

I'm a Texan and "bless your heart" is usually used when you're responding to a stupid comment from an idiot lol

[noahbowie]

Hugh - stereotypically British
Matthew - Stereotypically Texan
Charlie - Mix of both

[formula]

this specific trio is so chill i love it

[lindybeige]

'Jack the lad' does not mean excellent man. It means someone who considers himself to be very attractive to women, especially one who will probably prove unfaithful to one woman. A brash, confident masculine, usually young, man.

[linajurgensen]

Charlie Hunnam really does look VERY Scandinavian.

[anabhousen]

My dad went to high school with Matthew McConaughey and speaks exactly like him cause he grew up in west Texas. He walks into a room with a little "howdy howdy" and my son picked it up and speaks like that too. "Mom you reckon the movies is still open" it's hilarious.

[marcusjosefsson]

I'm actually quite impressed with Hugh's knowledge of Scandinavian vocabulary and Swedish.

[theghrol]

Hugh: translates British slang
Charlie: translates lesser known British slang
Matthew: translates cowboy slang

[livinonacloud]

Hugh Grant comes across as thoroughly erudite, knowing linguistics and etymology. He's like a professor. Lol

[mariperez]

I absolutely adore these three men. Their acting in "The Gentleman" was undoubtedly superb!!

[boomjykeo]

Charlie Hunnam: “Like wor kid”

Hugh and Matthew: “What?”

I LOL-ed.

[SchuylerNoelle]

I’m Convinced old southern women used to tell McConaughey “bless your heart” and he never figured out he was being insulted 😩🤣🤣
