Four Weddings overdub shock

So, here it is: the celeb exclusive you've been waiting for. It's at times like this that I most love working in the media, when people slip you the odd bit of gossip. I've been allowed to run this today only because it's going to hit the papers tomorrow.

First of all, for those of you who don't know, actress Andie McDowell was overdubbed in her first film role in Greystoke -- y'know, the Tarzan flick with Christopher Lambert. This was because Andie was a model, and I guess they figured her voice wasn't quite right or something. Could be that her Southern accent was too strong. Indeed, seasoned star Glenn Close did McDowell's voice work for that film.

What is less well known is that she was also dubbed for Four Weddings and a Funeral. I have received a leaked piece of audio from the original takes, and these really show why she needed to be dubbed. It's odd, though, because there are plenty of films in between where her voice was seemingly fine, and she does those ads these days and everything, but what do I know?

As Conan O'Brien says, you couldn't make this stuff up. Why would you? That would be stupid. To hear Andie's original take of her famous line at the end of the film, click here. You may need to turn the volume up, since the sound quality is not great.
