I’m confused by your comment. Anything to actually add to the discussion?

Could be. That was just the way I interpreted his look and how he said he was in a really dark place. Looks like it’s meant to be left ambiguous according to the actors? Who knows.

Either way, I wouldn’t put much stock in the accents being different. I have a different accent from some of my aunts and uncles. If you grow up in different areas, it can happen. They’re both British dialects at any rate!

I was under the impression that it actually was his uncle after all. When Portia confronts him in the car about it, he doesn’t deny it. She expected him to, and then he didn’t, which is why her face fell. At least that’s how I took it.
