Celebs Who Sound Much Different In Real Life

It's near-impossible to think of Larry the Cable Guy without talking like him. His loud, Southern twang, punctuated with catchphrases like "git 'er dun," has become cemented in audiences' ears to the point that even his beloved Cars (2006) character, Mater, is basically a Larry the Cable Guy with wheels.

Larry's voice, much like every other part of his character, is the fictional creation of comic Dan Whitney. In the above video, Whitney describes himself as a "linguist chameleon" who can easily adopt just about any accent. As a kid living in Florida, Whitney says he was enamored with, as he called them, "the horse people, all the livestock people." He says they talked like Larry, and when he started using that voice in his series of prank phone call radio bits, it proved so popular that he began performing stand-up solely as that character.
