I watched The Prestige the other week

In it, English actor Christian Bale played a cockney with an unconvincing accent, American actress Scarlett Johannson played a cockney with a convincing accent, and Norwich-supporting Osstrayan actor Huge Ackman played an English magician with a fake American accent who was actually a Lord with a posh English accent. Convincingly.
