Bluey star reveals drastic change producers considered to lure US audiences that could have ruined worldwide hit for good

One of the stars of Bluey has revealed that the Australian made hit was almost 'Americanised' in order to win over a Stateside audience. Performer Megan Washington, 38, who voices the character Calypso in the animated series, said that the show's creators once discussed whether the Aussie hit would have to be re-done with American voices to make it more 'acceptable' for U.S. viewers. The performer, who voices the character Calypso in the animated series, said that the show's creators once discussed whether Aussie accents would have to be replaced with hit with American voices 'The biggest sort of takeaway creatively has been just how inspiring it is that they’ve stuck to that idiosyncrasy, and they’ve really maintained the identity and the very unique character of the show,' she said. Washington revealed the shocking behind the scenes controversy during an appearance on KIIS FM 97.3 breakfast show Robin and Kip More than 3.4 million fans tuned in to watch the last three episodes of the global hit across the five major metro centres and regional areas via broadcast TV.
