Fans praise Catherine Zeta-Jones for using her Welsh accent in new series
This will be Zeta-Jones's first major screen role using a Welsh accent
Catherine Zeta-Jones has been praised by fans as she uses her natural Welsh accent in an upcoming thriller series.
The 56-year-old Hollywood actor returned to her hometown of Swansea, where some of the filming took place for Amazon's Kill Jackie.
A trailer released on social media gives viewers their first glimpse of the show, as well as a snippet of Zeta-Jones using her Swansea accent.
The Oscar-winning star plays Jackie Price, an extravagant jet-setter who is trying to stay anonymous after escaping a "dangerous past as an international cocaine dealer," according to Amazon Prime.
One fan said they loved hearing the "queen of Wales sounding Welsh".

Bilbao, Lisbon and London were also used as filming locations.
Zeta-Jones is known for an array of previous roles including Morticia Addams in Netflix's Wednesday, and an Oscar-winning supporting role in Chicago.
