Josh Hartnett Just Shared His Brother's Iconic Response To Him Accidentally Using A British Word After Permanently Relocating To England
Last year, Josh Hartnett made his much-anticipated return to the limelight in M. Night Shyamalan's movie Trap, with the Hollywood star arguably falling off the radar after becoming a '90s heartthrob as a teen. Josh first entered mainstream consciousness when he starred in the 1998 movie The Faculty, and he was the leading man in Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides a year later. After that, Josh's career continued to flourish with movies like Pearl Harbor and 40 Days and 40 Nights, but as his star power grew, Josh began to turn down big blockbusters in favor of smaller indie movies โ even rejecting the role of Superman twice.

When he started dating English actor Tamsin Egerton in 2012, he permanently relocated to a small town in England. Josh revealed that he and Tamsin had married in November 2021, and the two share four daughters together. While the couple have never revealed their children's names, their oldest three are aged around 10, 8, and 6, and Josh revealed that they'd welcomed their fourth in February 2024. And the star reflected on the playful relationship that he has with his children during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, where he also admitted to clinging to his American roots while living in the English countryside.

'She'll just kinda turn to me and be like: 'I'm daddy and I like pizza and I won't mow the lawn,' as American as it gets, right?' 'And then my littlest daughter keeps telling me what it's like to be English,' Josh added to the laughter of the live studio audience. 'She keeps saying to me: 'You might not understand this, daddy, but in England, we say 'boot' instead of 'trunk' of a car.' I'm like: 'I've lived here longer than you! I made you!'' When host Jimmy Fallon asked Josh if he slips into an accent 'every now and then,' given that he lives in England full time, Josh admitted that he actively tries to avoid losing touch with his Americanisms โ not least of all because his family mocks him if he does. 'Oh no,' Josh said of the accent. 'I mean, I will, because the language, the nouns are so different, there's just every once in a while I use the wrong noun. I had my family over, I think last Christmas, I said 'boot' or I said something English, like 'loo' instead of 'toilet,' and my brother goes: 'OK, Madonna.'' In case you didn't know, Madonna used to be renowned for speaking with a fake English accent. 'I'll never say anything like that again,' Josh laughed. 'I become more American when I get to the UK!'

'Fight or Flight's Josh Hartnett and Charithra Chandran on the action movie's wildest stunts
All products featured here are independently selected by our editors and writers. If you buy something through links on our site, Mashable may earn an affiliate commission. If you loved watching '90s heartthrob Josh Hartnett go wild as a girl dad/serial killer in Trap, you won't want to miss the murderous mayhem he brings to Fight or Flight. Directed by James Madigan, Fight or Flight stars Hartnett as disgraced former American operative Lucas Reyes, who's given one last chance to redeem his name. On an international flight peopled by demanding tourists, annoyed flight attendants โ including the whip-smart Isha (Bridgerton's Charithra Chandran) โ and an array of contract killers, Lucas must not only identify the mysterious black hat terrorist known as the Ghost, but also turn them into the American secret intelligence agency alive. With a big fat bounty on the Ghost's head, that's not easy work. And neither was making Fight or Flight. SEE ALSO: Josh Hartnett compares his new role in 'Trap' to his character Zeke from 'The Faculty' Shot on location on a real plane, the film demanded the actors get very comfortable with fight choreography in cramped quarters, like aisles, bathrooms, and the galleys of a plane. In an virtual interview with Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko, Hartnett and Chandran spoke to the challenges demanded by this very action-packed movie. Hartnett was quick to commend the stunt team, including his stunt double, Clayton Grover. For her part, Chandran shared how her experience on Fight or Flight โ where she has some stunt scenes โ helped prepare her for her role as Miss Wednesday in an upcoming episode of the live-action anime adaptation One Piece. Fight or Flight is now in theaters.

Josh Hartnett saves the riotously violent โFight or Flight' from crash-landing
Take note: If you have any anxiety about flying, director James Madigan's 'Fight or Flight' will not be for you. But if a cheap and cheerful one-setting action thriller ร la 'Bullet Train' featuring one of the preeminent heartthrobs of the Y2K era is up your alley, well then belly up to this (airport) bar. The flick isn't a masterpiece, not even a vulgar one, but it's cheeky and entertaining enough in its giddy hyper-violence, thanks almost entirely to the star turn of Josh Hartnett, who has proved during his recent renaissance that he's especially great in bozo mode. Hartnett was the brooding bad boy in movies like 'The Faculty' and 'The Virgin Suicides,' which rocketed him to stardom in the late '90s. But in recent years, his career has been reinvigorated, playing characters like 'Boy Sweat Dave' in Guy Ritchie's 'Wrath of Man,' and turning in especially delicious work in M. Night Shyamalan's 'Trap.' For 'Fight or Flight,' Hartnett looks straight out of the 2000s with his bleached hair and cargo shorts, the only difference is that he's now unleashed, freed from those moody shackles: wild-eyed and frequently covered in fake blood the vibrant hue of strawberry jam. Indeed, 'Fight or Flight' wouldn't work without his fizzy central performance that brings an edge of mania to the absurd premise, which is essentially 'Assassins on a Plane.' The script, by Brooks McLaren and 'Shazam' actor D.J. Cotrona, draws on the kind of 'John Wick'-style story that the action franchise perfected when it posed the question: What if there was a bounty on a hit man's head? 'Fight or Flight' borrows the conceit and sets it in a confined, high-altitude setting, taking a humorous tone for its thrills. Hartnett plays a down-on-his luck drifter named Lucas, who wakes up in Bangkok with a hangover, a black eye and his hated ex Katherine (Katee Sackhoff) calling him for a favor. A high-level security professional, Lucas is her last option after a hacker known as Ghost has stolen billions in cryptocurrency following a terrorist attack. Katherine needs Lucas to get on the same plane in order to deliver the hacker into custody (alive), and he's the only one she knows on the ground at the moment. When he boards the flight, he's not aware that a bounty on Ghost's head has spread across the dark web and thus, the rest of the passengers are mostly assassins, looking to make an easy buck. And so, aviation mayhem ensues, as Lucas fights off a coterie of bad guys through a haze of drugs and liquor. He has his own reasons for wanting to complete the task โ events in his past that explain why he ended up on his journey to the heart of darkness through the bottom of a whiskey bottle in Southeast Asia. They are honorable, of course, and when we meet Ghost, we discover motivations that are similarly altruistic, if a bit shallowly written. The filmmakers would rather focus on the outlandish violence anyway. Hartnett holds his own up and down the aisles, through the cargo area and into the bathroom, making use of the space and tools within his vicinity. But it's more fun to watch his face move than his body, his crazed eyes and tight grins delivering the high-wire tension. He has great chemistry with a feisty flight attendant (Charithra Chandran) and faces every foe with a gritted-teeth intensity and a sense of genuine surprise whenever he bests one. Madigan is fond of the trick that is setting particularly bloody sequences to high-energy, tonally mismatched tunes โ Hartnett bashes and stabs his way through everything from punk to polka. But then the already goofy 'Flight or Flight' takes a turn to the insanely cartoonish as it begins its descent, into a tangle of hallucinatory madness, unearned twists and mind-boggling cliffhangers. It's a true Looney Tune with a shocking amount of digital blood. The film almost entirely squanders whatever appeal it may have churned up, except it all happens so fast. Surprisingly, Hartnett's Lucas hasn't worn out his welcome, even if the movie around him has fallen apart midair. Ergo, the old truism has never been truer: When it comes to 'Fight or Flight,' your mileage may vary. Katie Walsh is a Tribune News Service film critic.
