20 Actor Nationalities You've Been Getting Wrong All Your Life
4. Emma Watson
"Hermione Granger can be nothing else but English. I refuse to believe she was born anywhere other than, like, inside Big Ben or something." Sorry To Burst Your Bubble... Emma Watson was actually born in Paris, France, though her parents are both English. Interestingly, though, she lived in Paris until she was five-years-old, presumably living a life drinking wine and eating cheese (it's law there), before moving to Oxford, England. So although she claims no French citizenship, she totally could if she wanted to. She can do whatever she wants. She's Emma Watson.
3. Michael Fassbender
"With that lovely accent and those charming good looks, this guy has got to be... English, right? He does a convincing American accent, of course, but we heard him in Inglourious Basterds... you can't fake an English accent like that. Reveal yourself, Michael!" You Might Be Surprised... Michael isn't English at all: he was born in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, West Germany, to an Irish mother, and a German father. He lived in Germany until he was 2, then moved to Ireland, and can speak German fluently. So, yes, he's Irish-German, apparently, which isn't something you see very often, is it?
