Larry the Cable Guy is one of the biggest comedians in the world, but even his most diehard fans are unaware of one shocking fact: his southern accent is fake.

Back in February, Larry the Cable Guy sat down with Graham Bensinger to discuss his accent, which you can see in the video above.

Larry says that he’s able to pick up accents fairly easily and that his on-stage accent is just an exaggeration of the way he actually talks.

Does this change your view of Larry the Cable Guy?
