The actor revealed his real accent during an appearance on The Real today (October 9) while promoting his new CW series, which debuts on Wednesday, October 10th.
Talking with the hosts, Daniel revealed that he actually stayed “in the accent throughout filming, so the first – most of the crew didn’t realize I was British until we wrapped the pilot.”
He adds that when they wrapped filming, he “started talking normally and everyone was like [DOUBLETAKE].”
He actually slips in and out of both his accents in the interview.
Daniel says that to get his American accent, he “listened to only LA artists, I listened to only Californian rap artists and stuff and just sticking it and just stay with it.”
The new show centers on a high school football player (Ezra) from South Central L.A. who is recruited to play for Beverly Hills High and the wins, losses and struggles of two families from different worlds.
All American premieres Wednesday, October 10th @ 9PM ET/PT.

She adds that “We try to maintain the two worlds. It’s not The OC model where we take him out…This is about a boy straddling two worlds…He does not leave his family behind. He struggles to maintain his life in both places.”
