I don’t feign my accent; it’s a part of me now – Chris Attoh

Ghanaian actor Chris Attoh has addressed claims of faking a Western accent, explaining it as a deliberate effort to represent Ghana globally.

Speaking on Joy Prime on November 27, 2024, he noted that working in Hollywood required him to master British and American accents.

He highlighted the importance of adapting to international standards, likening it to how students in Ghana were once penalized for unclear English.

Chris encouraged Ghanaians to embrace learning multiple accents, emphasizing its professional value.

Known for roles in Happiness Is a Four-Letter Word and 6 Hours to Christmas, Chris has received notable accolades, including Best Actor nominations at the 2018 Africa Movie Academy Awards and 2016 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.
