The Top 10 World’s Sexiest Accents

Paul @ Gone Hollywood | Tuesday, November 3, 2009

If you’re like myself or Colin Farrell and are from the Emerald Isle (aka Ireland) then there is some good news for you … you may be able to score any woman just by speaking.

Okay any woman is a bit of an exaggeration but a new poll that was taken from thousands of women worldwide have ranked the Irish accent as the sexiest in the world, followed by French accent which came in fourth after getting knocked from the top spot.

A spokesman for OnePoll says that French president Nicolas Sarkozy is the reason the French accent isn’t considered sexy anymore.

He said, “the French accent is nowhere near as popular as it used to be, you can probably blame Nicolas Sarkozy for that, he has single-handedly changed the perception of how the world sees French men. It is good news for the Irish that they have come top, they have been in and around the top five for years now. But high-profile stars such as Colin Farrell have helped bring the accent more to the fore.”

The study also said that three fifths of women admitted they slept wiith men because they were seduced by their accent. The top ten looks like this:

01. Irish
02. Italian
03. Scottish
04. French
05. Australian
06. English
07. Swedish
08. Spanish
09. Welsh
10. American
