Brit Awards 2019: Calvin Harris’ Scottish Accent Left Quite A Few Viewers Shook

There were quite a few surprises at last night’s Brit Awards.

You know, like the actual Hugh Jackman opening the show, none of the international winners bothering to turn up and Aphex Twin not winning Best Male (jokes).

But there was one moment that had rather a lot of viewers’ collective jaws hitting the floor.

That moment wasn’t when Calvin Harris won the British Producer and British Single gongs (finally, btw), but when he opened his mouth and spoke WITH A SCOTTISH ACCENT.

Seems rather a lot of people either forgot, or simply had no prior knowledge, that Calvin is actually from Dumfries. Maybe it was the dodgy shiny Las Vegas-style suit?

Whatever. Twitter was shook.

CALVIN HARRIS IS SCOTTISH WHAT THE FUCK

Others were surprised that so many people didn’t know the superstar DJ was a Scot.

People who are shocked at Calvin Harris’ real accent will also be shocked to learn he was very Scottish-looking before his LA makeover pic.twitter.com/1lEgi1bZ3m

And if that wasn’t enough to shake Twitter to its very core, folk were then informed that Calvin *gasps* isn’t actually his real name.

You’re all shook that Calvin Harris is Scottish??? His name ISN’T even Calvin Harris, it’s Adam Wiles. There’s a shocker for you #BRITs

So, just to confirm. Calvin Harris is Scottish. His real name is Adam Wiles.

As you were.
