Blood Diamond/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fake Nationality:
    • Danny Archer is a South African with a Rhodesian accent played by American Leonardo DiCaprio. He pulls it off |much better in this one.
    • Djimon Hounsou is of both Beninese and American nationality and plays a Sierra Leonean fisherman.
    • YMMV on Leonardo's accent. Danny Archer is supposed to be an English-speaking Rhodesian, and yet he has an Afrikaans accent. Although this could be because Reality Is Unrealistic as most non-South Africans find it difficult to distinguish from an RP "British" accent.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Jack from Titanic is Danny, his boss is Imhotep, his contact in the diamond company is Tony Blair from The Queen, Sarah from Labyrinth is Maddy, and the dad from 7th Heaven appears at the beginning and end of the film.
