Batgirl star Leslie Grace attempts Glasgow accent as filming in city comes to an end

Hollywood star Leslie Grace had a go at the Glaswegian accent as Batgirl filming officially wraps in Glasgow.

The HBO production has been filming since January, and has seen huge celebs like Michael Keaton, Brendan Fraser and J.K Simmons in Scotland's biggest city.

Leslie, 28, who is taking on the titular role of Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, in the HBO Max flick couldn't help but try her hand at the Glaswegian accent after spending months in the city.

The Florida born actress shared the hilarious attempt on social media, shouting: "For f*** sake," before a taxi driver quipped back at her.

The actress' taxi driver had one thing to say about her attempt on the accent, telling her: "Leslie Grace, you are a disgrace".

She captioned the video: "that is officially a wrap on us out here in Glasgow and i couldn’t let the day pass without saying THANK YOU to every person on this crew who made it all happen.

"What a riiiide! Forged by fire and I’m so grateful for it!

"more to come that i wish I could share but i leave you with these wee lil tender moments of our last week I will hold dear in my heart…"

Earlier this week Leslie posted another heartfelt tribute about Glasgow, writing: "This is a “it’s our last week of shooting #batgirl and i’m getting emotionalllll” dump

"but in advance - Scotland, thank u endlessly for welcoming us with open arms and gifting us the perfect city to create our Gotham.

"it’s not the end yet but i didn’t want to miss a moment to say thank you as I’m sitting here reflecting on all we’ve gotten to experience thanks to you.

"i will never forget my time here"

Leslie – who was born Leslie Martinez in New York’s Bronx before moving to Florida when she was 10 – started out as a singer and received three Latin Grammy Award nominations.

She then went into films, making her big-screen acting debut as Nina Rosario in the 2021 movie adaption of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights.

Batgirl is only her second acting job and Leslie is understandably proud to be starring in the first standalone Batgirl movie.

Batgirl is expected to be available on HBO Max in early 2023.
