According to a recent study, the actor the American public has the most trouble understanding is British Tom Hardy, star of “Venom” and “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
We can’t deny that it’s sometimes difficult to understand everything Tom Hardy is saying on screen, which he mumbles quite regularly. According to this, it is not surprising Recent research conducted by PreplyThe star of Venom and Mad Max: Fury Road is the man the American public has the most trouble understanding!
Behind Tom Hardy, the least understood stars for the American audience are Sofia Vergara, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sean Connery and Johnny Depp. The research goes further and reveals that the least easy to ‘decode’ is Peaky Blinders (with some Tom Hardy credits!), followed by Derry Girls, Game of Thrones, Outlander and Downton Abbey.
According to Preply’s research, conducted with a panel of 1,200 people, the US public has particular difficulty with Scottish (50%), English (17%) and Irish (17%) accents. Thus, these comprehension difficulties lead 57% of viewers surveyed to use subtitles most of the time when they watch a movie or TV series.
Finally, it should be noted that it is Generation Z, that is, the 11- to 24-year-old community, that uses this subtitle option the most (70%). Proof that the latter is mostly not used by people, often elderly, with hearing problems.
