Nobody can believe how posh Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie’s accent is

That's why they call it acting.

Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie is know the world over for her role as quick-witted, hardy wildling 'Ygritte' in the HBO series. The flame-haired lass, who is hard or nails and damn handy with a bow and arrow, was Jon Snow's lover beyond The Wall (before they killed her off). She's known for that one famous line 'You know nothing Jon Snow' delivered in her rough northern brogue. So when Rosie appeared on BBC News to talk about her new play Contractions, fans couldn't believe what they were hearing. Gone were the harsh Northern tones of Ygritte in Game of Thrones and instead she spoke with one of the poshest accents fans had ever heard. How the hell is she not really northern? https://youtu.be/OdrC4wucKgo Game of Thrones fans didn't know what to think... https://twitter.com/Mechabarclay/status/741185801074180097 https://twitter.com/HerdyGurdyMan/status/741189786774409216 https://twitter.com/PaulSmith7/status/741185008178716672 https://twitter.com/Tabracadabra/status/741184363400957952 https://twitter.com/GUYOGUYO/status/741184346829291520 https://twitter.com/ChyazSamuel/status/741184183318503424 https://twitter.com/GooseC1/status/741184011624714240 https://twitter.com/reallyreally_/status/741183953302884352 It's the biggest shock we've had since finding out David Threlfall, the man who plays the iconic drunken Manc scrounger Frank Gallagher in Shameless, isn't in fact a Manc scrounger in real life... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CBRIMqsGwM
