Robert Pattinson's 'Little Ashes' Spanish Accent: Experts Weigh In

Rob Pattinson plays surrealist painter Salvador Dali in Little Ashes. MTV got an exclusive clip from the movie and decided to bring in the experts to decide whether or not Rob Pattinson's spanish accent is excellent in the movie. Of course, they didn't want to ask the Twilight fans because they know that they will be a little biased.

"I think it's a credible Spanish accent," praised Joel Goldes, a veteran dialect coach who has spent 18 years working with Nicolas Cage, Jim Broadbent, Jennifer Garner and other actors. Goldes said he was impressed by the London-born Pattinson. "I think if I didn't know his background, I wouldn't suspect anything."

"What I'm hearing is actually a mixture. I'm hearing a lot of his Americanisms that he learned," said accent coach Claudette Roche, saying that Pattinson's gig as Salvador Dalí is all the more difficult since co-star Javier Beltrán is from Barcelona. "Because he's working with Javier, who is Spanish, it's very contrasting. Javier has a very pure Spanish accent." Click here to read more.
