Question Celebrity learning English accent ???

I'm desperately intrigued to know as how long the following people took in learning new accent, particularly those who learnt broad British English accent.

Who did they take their lessons from & how long it took them to learn their new English accent ???

>> Mike Myers (American to English)
>> Renee Zellweger (American to English)
>> Gordon Brown (Scottish to English)
>> Pierce Brosnan (Irish to English)
>> Colin Ferrell (Irish to American)

I particularly like Mike Myers' British accent (as in Austin Powers movie).

Similarly, I'd equally be interested in knowing about other famous people (or even from non-famous or people around), learning new accent, be it be learning a particular "regional" or "national" accent.

Any response would be greatly appreciated.
