Sean Connery has the `worsht accent in the hishtory of cinema` according to film poll

Yahoo News has reported that according to a poll conducted by British film magazine Empire, Sean Connery created the worst accent in the history of cinema in the 1987 movie "The Untouchables".

Although the James Bond smoothie won an Oscar for his role as Jim Malone in Brian de Palma`s film, a jury of industry professionals crowned him top of their bad accent list, which appears in the magazine`s July issue.

"Whether he`s a Russian sub captain ("The Hunt For Red October") or even an English King ("First Knight" and "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves"), always that baritone Highland burr remains," the verdict read.

Close behind, in third place, came US actor Brad Pitt for his role as an Austrian mountaineer in the 1997 film "Seven Years in Tibet".

In seventh position, Hollywood icon Julia Roberts was also singled out for her linguistic performance in the 1996 movie "Mary Reilly".

Meryl Streep came 10th for her work in "Out of Africa" in 1985, where she played the role of South African author Karen Blixen, alongside Robert Redford.
