Timothée, who is currently on tour across Europe to promote his latest film, Wonka, made the surprising confession during an interview with Keegan-Michael Key for LADbible. 

When asked by the fellow actor if he thinks French is the sexiest accent, Timothée replied: "I like the Hull accent."

"You like Hull?" replied Keegan-Michael Key. To which Timothée replied: "Yeah, why's everyone cracking up?" Before confirming: "Hull is sexy." Well, there you have it. 

And it doesn't stop there. Timothée then revealed his "top three" accents saying: "I like Hull and Essex is in my top three, and I like a middle-aged Northern accent." To which Keegan-Michael replied, sounding slightly confused: "So middle-aged Yorkshire?"

I can assure you my accent is not sexy. 

The sexiest British accent is any kind of Irish accent.

It's specifically the rhotic 'R' that they have round Blackburn that they're talking about, isn't it? That used to be more common in North and East Lancs. Lancashire doesn't have just one accent, even today, it's probably one of the more diverse parts of the country in terms of accent.
