Pierce Brosnan responds to backlash over Mobland accent
Pierce Brosnan has responded to criticism of his 'MobLand' Irish accent, with many taking to the internet to roast his performance. The Irish Times branded his brogue in the Paramount+ series as a 'horror for the ages,' with others claiming it was deeply distracting to the plot of the Guy Ritchie-directed gangster drama. While the Mamma Mia star was born in Drogheda and spent the first few years of his life in Navan, he has worked the majority of his career in England and the U.S, further weakening his Irish accent.

'My own accent is very soft … Conrad's accent is a million miles away from me,' he explained, discussing how the accent we saw on screen derived from working with a dialect coach. 'I told him that I needed a Kerry accent,' he added. 'So he gave me the name of a man, and I Googled the guy and that was it. It was a Kerry accent. And so, I just gave it full tilt.'

Nicholas' father, William (Brosnan), comes home one day to shatter his family's quiet, modest life. He tells them that after a moment of divine revelation, he has decided to dedicate his life to painting. 'He quits his job and sets off for the West Coast, leaving his shell-shocked wife and son to fend for themselves. Meanwhile, Isabel and her family live a charmed existence on a remote island off the West Coast, their house full of music and poetry. When tragedy strikes and her brother suffers a terrible accident, the music stops, and Isabel's mother (Bonham Carter) and father (Byrne) decide in their grief to send Isabel to a convent school on the mainland. 'The young lovers embark on their own individual journeys of heartache and misplaced love, before fate contrives to pull the threads of their lives together. When they meet, it is a miracle.' The original novel was published in 1997 and was translated into more than 30 languages before he adapted it for the screen. Four Letters Of Love is a Genesius Pictures, AX1 Films and Port Pictures production in association with London Town Films and will be released in Irish cinemas on July 18 2025.
