Am I remembering right that you live in the UK? What do people there think of that accent? Are accents there an indicator of class, or perhaps intelligence?

I like the accent usually.

It's something about the way he personally speaks which is a bit off.

Maybe he needs a few voice lessons.

I mean he comes from the same area as Sean Bean and Sean isn't annoying.

Yeah, accents are hugely linked to class here. Some southern posh people might automatically think his accent is common but I have family in Yorkshire so know it's more likely to be a provincial snob and middle class accent.

Certain accents are linked to low intelligence. The RP speaking southern middle class will simply assume everyone else is thick. Other than that I believe the Birmingham accent (as in Peaky Blinders) often gets voted the most stupid sounding.
