Born Quote by Gwilym Lee

“It's funny because when you're a Welshman living in England, you always get the mickey taken out of you for being Welsh, and then when you go to Wales with an English accent because you were born in Bristol and grew up in Birmingham, they say you're English. You can never win.” quote by Gwilym Lee — Download Open image
