metro.co.uk:

Liam Payne is choosing not to acknowledge the lively social media conversation sparked by his baffling accent during an interview at an Oscars event on Sunday night.The singer seemingly ignored the reaction to his live interview on Good Morning Britain, where viewers said he sounded Dutch, Welsh, Italian, English and American all at once, while giving his view on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on stage for a joke the latter made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair.Taking to Instagram, the former One Direction star shared a picture of himself with fiancé Maya Henry from the event they attended, which was the Elton John Aids Foundation’s 30th Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party.The couple looked chic on the red carpet, with Liam in a white shirt, black suit and tie and Maya in a feathered and mesh pink floor-length gown over a matching corset, but he made no comment to accompany the picture on his Story.Liam, who was born in Wolverhampton, offered his thoughts on the shocking scene from the ceremony, explaining, in an unusual twang: ‘Will Smith actually used to live behind my house, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing his son and his daughter very well.

We did Men In Black III with him.‘I believe whatever he felt that he did, he had the right to do. I also felt there were three losers in one fight.

He didn’t know, being Chris Rock, he didn’t want to do what he had to do, being Will Smith, and she did nothing, being Jada.’To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video‘Watching @GMB and what the hell has happened to Liam Payne’s accent?!’ one audience member asked.
