Liam Payne finally explains weird 'Welsh' accent following Oscars interview

Liam Payne has finally addressed his weird medley of accents after an interview at this year's Oscars. The One Direction star was interviewed live on ITV's Good Morning Britain regarding the Chris Rock and Will Smith incident, however his comments left more people talking about his accent(s) than it did his words.

His accent was slammed on social media, with many commenting he sounded Welsh, Irish, American, and South African throughout the clip. Now, he has finally explained the reason why.

On an Instagram Live, he lightheartedly explained: "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?'"
