Hollywood star Kieran Culkin, known for his breakout role in Succession, has sent the internet into a frenzy after sharing his thoughts on the most charming British phrases. In a recent interview promoting his upcoming projects, the Emmy-nominated actor didn’t hold back his admiration—and occasional confusion—about British slang.
The clip, which has since racked up millions of views across social media platforms, shows Kieran diving into a list of Britishisms that he finds “utterly adorable.” His lively reactions and attempts at imitating a British accent had fans in stitches.
“Knackered,” “Cheers,” and “Gobsmacked” Get the Spotlight
Culkin’s favorites include phrases like “knackered” (meaning tired), which he hilariously admitted he’d love to use more often. “How does anyone say ‘I’m knackered’ and not sound like they’re living in a Jane Austen novel?” he joked. He also confessed to being completely “gobsmacked” when he first heard the word “gobsmacked,” calling it “a double-layered slap of cuteness.”
Another highlight was his take on “cheers,” which Brits use for everything from thank you to goodbye. “It’s like a Swiss army knife of politeness,” Kieran quipped, earning a wave of approval from British fans online.
The Internet Can’t Get Enough
Fans from both sides of the Atlantic have flooded the comments section of the viral clip, with many Brits playfully offering Kieran lessons on even quirkier phrases. “Wait until he hears about ‘Bob’s your uncle,’” joked one commenter, while another chimed in, “Can we adopt him as an honorary Brit already?”
Culkin’s segment has not only sparked laughter but also reignited the age-old fascination Americans have with British culture. With fans clamoring for more of his comedic takes, some are even suggesting a dedicated series where Kieran explores British slang.
Kieran Culkin’s Rising Popularity
While the Succession star has always been a fan favorite, this candid moment has elevated his online charm. Known for his quick wit and down-to-earth personality, Kieran continues to prove why he’s one of Hollywood’s most relatable celebrities.
As his playful commentary continues to trend, fans can only hope this isn’t the last we’ll hear of his delightfully unfiltered takes on Britishisms.
For now, it’s safe to say Kieran Culkin has not only mastered American humor but also secured a special place in the hearts of his British fans. Cheers to that!
