Shrek star Mike Myers reveals real cost of Scots accent change on 20th anniversary of hit movie
26.05.2022 - 22:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Shrek and Austin Powers star Mike Myers has explained the real cost and reason why the lead character's accent became Scottish instead of Canadian on the 20th anniversary of the hit cartoon.
And Mike revealed the last minute change of voice would not have cost anywhere near four or five million dollars, as previously suggested, as he said he even did his parts for free.
Shrek first appeared on screen in June of 2001 and saw the lead character change his voice from Canadian after producers decided a Scottish accent sounded better.
Various publications, at the time, estimated that the cost to re-record and reanimate was around $4 or $5 million.
Mike has now cleared up a lot of rumours and told Vanity Fair : "I always thought that ogres were working people, growing up as a working person, so I tried it as a Canadian.
"And it just didn't have any 'oomph', then I said, 'Can I record it again as Scottish?'
"I have relatives in Scotland and a background in Scottish and they're working people.
"It's a working people accent. And they went, 'No, we like it the way it is.' And I said, 'Oh, come on, just let me.' Steven Spielberg said, 'Why don't you try it once.'
"He sent me a lovely letter, saying, 'You're so right. It's way better as Scottish. Thank you so much.' They spent some money, but not the amount of money that has been reported in the press, I'd like to point out.
Mike added: "And, by the way, I recorded it all for free one more time and [I was] just happy to do so because I wanted it to be good."
While Mike doesn't reveal how much money it did actually cost to re-record the lines, it would seem much less than the $4 or $5 million that was reported.
