Sunday Urban’s Accent Has Fans Stumped The web has gone wild with the surprising revelation of Sunday Rose Urban having an unusual accent-a hallmark of the 15-year-old daughter
The web has gone wild with the surprising revelation of Sunday Rose Urban having an unusual accent-a hallmark of the 15-year-old daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, with a very rare public appearance seeing Sunday speaking in a way that has most fans trying to figure how the teenager learned to talk so untypically Australian.
While Kidman and Urban are known to maintain the most low-profile lives, this unsought glimpse has attracted global attention. Keith Urban has since reacted to the controversy, feeding more fuel into the flame of an already raging debate.
Australian citizen Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman and country music artist Keith Urban have spent their lives largely moving between the countries. But fans were shocked when Sunday’s speech brought out a detectable change of accent. Although she has been brought up by Australian parents, her speech was reportedly described by some listeners to have an American or mixed accent.
Fans on social media had their mix of amusement, confusion, and criticism. A section of them questioned if this international lifestyle could be an influence on Sunday’s accent. Others even came forward with the theory that being exposed to American culture as well as schooling must have caused it. “She sounds like she is from California!” tweeted a fan.
As buzz over the issue rose, Keith Urban was recently asked about this in an interview. He called it no big deal and added that they both grew up in each of their countries for some years. According to Urban, “Sunday’s accent is the mixture of influences she’s grown up with. It’s part of her journey.”.
Urban was calling for the embracing of individuality as he also condemned cyber public judgment of his daughter. “We don’t want her to feel like she has to fit into a mold,” he said, relating more to the judgment pointed towards the children.
The shock revelation also raises a broader debate on parenting and cultural identity. Some argue that the Urban-Kidman jet-set lifestyle has kept the kids away from Australian culture, while others argue it represents the reality of the modern global family.
Some argue that the couple is too disconnected from their Australian roots. They raise children in a bubble of privilege, as some have accused. The supporters say that an accent is a natural reflection of experience and Sunday’s speech shouldn’t be a cause for judgment.
It was meant to be a little jibe about Sunday Urban’s accent that quickly ballooned into a public debate on cultural identity, family dynamics, and privilege. With Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban splitting their lives between Australia and the U.S., their children’s experience has some reflection in the reality of a globalized world.
While the internet reacted in ways the Urban-Kidman family might have never envisioned, Keith Urban’s words are clear: the voice heard Sunday is truly hers. She is testimony to a diverse world of which she grew up as a result. Whether anyone accepts that or not, the Urban-Kidman children carve out their uniqueness one accent at a time.
