If Nicki and Lady Holiday are brother and sister, then....


Why does one speak with a British accent and the other with an American accent??

In a movie where a frog and a bear are twins, this is what bothers you??

Yes! At least Kermit and Fozzie being twins is kind of funny and we suspend our disbelief. But if the story takes place in England and Lady Holiday is British, it makes no sense why her brother who lives there would sound American.

a) It's the exact same type of joke -- mismatched siblings for no reason
b) Even if I were to treat this seriously, it's easy enough to conjecture that Nicky was either raised in the US or lived there for a long period of time thus abandoning his British accent.
