Is that just a Dellorisation ?
did wonder the same. He's from Leytonstone, not Paris. I'm guessing its 'Lorrent'
How JL pronounces his surname probably depends more on how his parents pronounce it than on where he was born though doesn't it?
Oh of course yeah.
We're just guessing though. It's just less likely if he was born there he'd be pronouncing it that way, but of course it's possible, if his parents immigrated from a french speaking country or they just prefer that pronunciation. My guess is with his other middle names not being particularly French he'd say Lorrent but I have no idea.
I need to listen out for when they introduce themselves on BBCRB, I'm intrigued now. Although I imagine unless he's an incredibly posh footballer he won't be pronouncing the T at the end of his surname anyway, but it would be interesting to see where he puts the emphasis - the way Dellor does at the end as in loRON like the French or like us with LOren'
I'll listen out!
