For sure he did!

I still didn't get that after several reads.

Ok. If you say so.

You should watch So I Married An Axe Murderer. Lots of Scottish accents like this there.

It's the best guess I have.

I looked it up. Why does the movie have so many Scottish accents if it takes place in San Fran?

Mike Meyers' parents in the movie are from Scotland.

Were his parents come from Scotland in real life?

That child needs to do something about his hair.

**BehrItAll** · 10-22-2018, 06:26 PM

His mom liked the ax murderer?

**LilMouse** · 10-23-2018, 08:28 AM

Makes sense for Mike Myers humor.

The axe murderer turned out to be her sister.

His real parents were born in England:

Quote:

Myers was born on May 25, 1963, in Scarborough, a suburban district in the east side of Toronto, Ontario. He is the son of English-born parents Eric Myers (1922–1991), an insurance agent, and his wife, Alice E. Myers (née Hind; born 1926), an office supervisor and a veteran of the Royal Air Force.

Both of his parents were from Liverpool, United Kingdom, and he has two older brothers, Paul, an indie rock singer-songwriter, broadcaster, and author, and Peter, who worked for Sears Canada.

The family is of English, Scottish, and Irish ancestry. Myers was raised Protestant. He reportedly holds Canadian, U.S., and British citizenship.

Myers grew up in suburban Toronto districts, both North York and Scarborough, where he attended Sir John A. Macdonald Collegiate Institute and then graduated from Stephen Leacock Collegiate Institute in 1982.
