Chloe Fineman, the talented impressionist from Saturday Night Live, has made a name for herself with her spot-on impersonations of various celebrities. However, there’s one British star whose voice she struggles to nail – Harry Styles. During the SNL 50th anniversary special, Fineman revealed that Styles himself was less than impressed with her attempt at mimicking his distinctive tones.
In a conversation with Chicken Shop Date’s Amelia Dimoldenberg, Fineman confessed that her Harry Styles impression was “really bad” and that the singer was “devastated” by how off it was. Despite her best efforts, Fineman couldn’t quite capture Styles’s elusive accent, which can be attributed to his upbringing in different parts of England and time spent in the US.
While Fineman excels at impersonating American stars like Drew Barrymore and Reese Witherspoon, her British accents still need some work. She once went viral for her perfect parody of Nicole Kidman’s Australian twang, but Styles’s accent remains a challenge for her.
Although Fineman hasn’t portrayed Styles on TV, she did showcase her British accent on The Tonight Show Starring Fallon, where she played Phoebe Waller-Bridge opposite Fallon as Harry Styles. It’s unclear how Styles felt about this particular impression, but it’s safe to say that Fineman’s attempt at his accent left something to be desired.
The SNL 50th anniversary special was a star-studded event, with celebrities like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, and more in attendance. The red carpet was filled with A-listers and SNL alumni, all coming together to celebrate the iconic sketch show’s milestone.
Overall, Chloe Fineman may need to work on her Harry Styles impression, but her talent for capturing the essence of other celebrities is undeniable. As she continues to hone her craft, we can expect to see even more impressive impersonations from this rising star of comedy.
