Eve Hewson’s American drawl irked pals

Actress Eve Hewson has told how her American accent has become too convincing for her Irish friends.

The actress, who was on The Tonight Show this week to talk about the US TV hit series The Knick, has been widely acclaimed for her role as a wide-eyed nurse from West Virginia named Lucy on the hit TV series.

But the star, who spends most of her time living in New York, jokingly told talk show superstar Jimmy Fallon her mastery of the American accent didn’t go down well with her friends at home in Dublin the last time she was on his show.
