In a hilarious moment on the set of “Cold Storage”, Joe Keery found himself receiving a correction on his American accent, despite being an American. The film, which features a primarily British and Irish cast, hit theaters on February 13th, bringing together Keery and his co-star Georgina Campbell for this apocalyptic thriller.
While an accent coach was present on set to assist with dialects, Keery, surprisingly, did not need much guidance on his American accent. However, he still found himself being corrected at one point during filming. Despite both Keery and Campbell not being able to recall the exact line in question, they shared a laugh over the humorous situation.
Campbell recounted the amusing incident, where Keery had to clarify to the accent coach that he was indeed American and felt confident in his delivery. Instead of taking offense, Keery approached the situation with a positive attitude, describing it as “very funny.”
Known for his role as Steve Harrington in “Stranger Things” and his music career under the stage name Djo, Keery is no stranger to the horror comedy genre. In 2020, he portrayed serial killer Kurt Kunkle in “Spree”, adding to his diverse range of performances.
In “Cold Storage”, Keery takes on a different role as Teacake, alongside Campbell’s Naomi Williams and Liam Neeson’s Robert Quinn, to combat a deadly fungus threatening to spread. The narrative of the film presents a new dynamic for Keery, moving away from his previous creepy antagonist roles.
While Keery’s previous horror comedy ventures had darker undertones, “Cold Storage” offers a different twist as the characters work together to prevent a dangerous fungus from wreaking havoc. As the film explores this unique premise, Keery continues to showcase his versatility as an actor in the genre.
With its blend of horror and comedy, “Cold Storage” brings together a talented cast to deliver a thrilling and entertaining experience for audiences. Keery’s portrayal of Teacake adds depth to the film, highlighting his ability to tackle diverse roles in the industry.
In the world of horror comedy, Joe Keery shines once again, proving his talent and versatility as an actor. “Cold Storage” marks another successful addition to his repertoire, solidifying his presence in the genre and his continued growth as a performer.
