When it comes to acting, accents aren’t Dwayne Johnson<\/a><\/strong>and Kevin Hart<\/a><\/strong>‘s specialties.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Tuesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/em>, Karen Gillan<\/strong> dished about her time on the Jumanji: The Next Level<\/em> set with the dynamic duo. As it turns out, it wasn’t always the best time.<\/p>\n

As host Jimmy Kimmel<\/a><\/strong>asked, “Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson, they were both here last week. Which do you prefer of the two? Be honest.” The Avengers<\/em> star<\/a> hilariously responded, “Neither of them, because they torment me relentlessly! It’s unbelievable.”<\/p>\n

Having talked about her nunchuck expertise previously in the earlier, Kimmel quipped, “You don’t just hit them with the nunchucks?” As the Doctor Who <\/em>alum<\/a> joked back, “I should’ve done that!”<\/p>\n

Giving more context, the Scottish star then explained, “They make fun of me a lot. And they try to impersonate<\/a> Scottish accents very badly. It’s a travesty to listen to.”<\/p>\n

“They sound like someone doing a bad impression of Dick Van Dyke<\/a><\/strong> in Mary Poppins<\/a><\/em>,” she continued to tease.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Then they took a break from trolling The Rock and the comedian and opted to troll all Americans instead.<\/p>\n

As the host said of the classic Disney film, “It’s funny, because Americans\u2014we didn’t even know it was a bad impersonation.”<\/p>\n

Clearly shocked, Gillan laughed and replied, “What?! Oh, sh*t.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“We didn’t know until the internet came,” Kimmel continued. “And then everybody told us. Like, ‘Oh, yeah. Dick Van Dyke, you know how you loved him in Mary Poppins<\/em><\/a>? He was terrible in it!'”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Outside of teasing her co-stars lack of accent skills, Gillan gushed over the fact that she has been part of so many successful franchises. (She played Nebula in the Avengers<\/em> franchise, she stars alongside Johnson, Hart, Danny Devito<\/a><\/strong>, Danny Glover<\/strong>, Jack Black<\/a><\/strong>, Awkwafina<\/strong>, Nick Jonas<\/a><\/strong> in Jumanji: The Next Level<\/em> and she starred on Doctor Who<\/em> for multiple seasons alongside The Crown<\/em>‘s Matt Smith<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

As Kimmel noted, “It’s like you only do humongous movies. Usually, when you’re just starting out, it’s the opposite. You do indie stuff. but you’re doing billion-dollar projects.”<\/p>\n

“I know, it’s such a weird thing,” Gillan replied. “Everything is very big and franchise-y, but I feel really excited to be involved in things that people actually care about. It’s quite rare.”<\/p>\n

Another rarity is hearing an American do a good Scottish accent, apparently.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
