Mischa Barton Drinks To Whiskey Mist

Mischa Barton leaves Whisky Mist and Bungalow 8 Nightclub in London, England on Tuesday (June 30).

The 23-year-old former O.C. star recently shared about how everyone thinks she’s American, but is actually British. “I haven’t lived here since I was tiny, but my entire family is British and I’ve been raised as a Brit,” Mischa said. My sister lives and works in London as a barrister, but nobody can get their head round the fact I’m anything but a Hollywood girl. In the US nobody thinks of me as American, and here, nobody believes I’m British.”

Mischa also told the Daily Mail about how she tried to lose her British accent. “When I lived in New York I tried really hard to ditch the British accent to fit in. I went to classes and everything.” she said. “I ended up putting on this terrible ‘Nu Yawk’ accent and hid behind that for a while. Now I don’t try to hide it so much, but my accent slips all over the place. It’s a mess – I don’t sound like I’m from anywhere any more.”
