Mischa Barton is One Clueless Brit

Mischa Barton has admitted she tried to lose her British accent when she went to live in New York.

The OC has-been star, 23, revealed that most people do not realize that she is originally from the UK and that her family is British.

She said: "I'm British, although everyone thinks I'm American… but my entire family is British and I've been raised as a Brit.

"But nobody can get their head around the fact I'm anything but a Hollywood girl. In the US, nobody thinks of me as American and [in the UK], nobody believes I'm British.

"I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I consciously tried to lose my English accent. When I lived in New York, I tried really hard to ditch the British accent to fit in,” she confessed.

"It's a mess – I don't sound like I'm from anywhere anymore."

She’s right; she is clueless. She should just give up on the acting thing, since her parents don’t even know what she does for a living. And frankly, neither do we.
