Liam Payne has explained his odd mix of accents during his now viral Oscars chat.
One Direction singer Liam was on ITV's Good Morning Britain talking about Chris Rock and Will Smith when viewers noticed there was something weird about how he sounded.
On social media people couldn't understand why the star was speaking in accents which sounded Welsh, Irish, American, and South African.
Now Liam has told his fans on Instagram Live what actually happened during the chat.
He told his followers: "It was quite funny - I had asked Good Morning Britain, the presenter, I said 'Please don't ask me too much because I've had a lot to drink and I'm underly educated about the Oscars.' I said 'Please don't ask me too much, and the very first question the man asked me was 'What do you think about Will Smith?'"
Liam said of his retort. "I actually read back on what I said and I stand by what I said, but I'm just sorry it came out in so many accents."
Regarding the cause of his many twangs, he explained: "I'll tell you the truth. I was living in a house with two German people, three people from Texas, one person from Liverpool and me."
The singer also said: "I'm a social chameleon.
"It sounded like one of those jokes people say when an Irishman and an Englishman walk into a pub and that's what came out. What can I say? It was funny wasn't it?"
He laughed: "Don't have many drinks and address the country."
