Yeah the story is that the Picard family fled France to England during WW2 and that's why he has an English accent

Picard is so bad.

While possible, the chances of his family losing that accent and gaining a french one after generations (10 gens?) would be incredibly high.

His family must be one of those die hard, "it's transparent aluMINIUM!" British exiles.

Yes, Tom Hardy blamed Nemesis for his career troubles after it flopped.

It wasn't that. Hardy's performance as Shinzon / not-Picard was one of the most widely derided parts of Nemesis--it was called out in a lot of reviews in the UK--and he took it very personally, spiraling deeper into alcohol and crack addiction to the point that he was borderline suicidal. It wasn't until he cleaned up (and Refn came around with Bronson) that his career rebounded.

He didn't blame the movie so much as he took its failure as a personal failing on his part.

Huh, I remember people singling out Hardy's performance at the time as one of the few high points of the movie.

No, like, they fled to England during WW2 and then settled there and Picard's dad decided to move to France when Picard was 10. Chateau Picard was abandoned and they returned to the ancient family home.
