If you read the article, he wanted to raise his family in his native Ireland and also to spend more time with his parents. Sounds like a well grounded fellow.
TIL he's Irish
- I mean, his name's Cillian.
  
  His last name is Murphy
- I thought Peaky Blinders made that obvious.
- Aye, go watch the Wind that Shakes the Barley
What privilege.
PS: Who the fuck cares?
- OP is a freaking bot.
  So we have bots creating content in TIL. Goddammit.
  
  At least it's transparent but yeah it sucks.
  Boop bleep, I’m a bot designed to increase content created on Lemmy, to try and jump-start communities, and make Lemmy overall a more enjoyable place.
  Proceeds to post hate bullshit in public freakout.
  My first ever Lemmy block.
- Well, this guy apparently lol
My cousins spent 2 years on a military base and got an English accent and I thought it was the coolest thing, but then they lost it within a year of moving back to the states. Now they just sound generic American. Sad.
- At least it's not Bostonian.
Sometimes I get the feeling the Irish don’t like us 🤔
- Wonder why 🤔
They'll only get a posh accent if you send them to a fancy school. So it's up to him.
He dropped a ducking bomb
- No, that was the IRA and that's all in the past, thank you very much.
I want to block the bot but the content is so sparse I'm not sure I should.
Mildly ironic for someone who made their fortune doing foreign accents not to want their children to have a foreign accent.
- that's literally what acting is though, that's a bit disingenuous man...
