He recently moved to the US to pursue a career in acting.
And now one year on, Christian Wilkins is apparently starting to pick up an American twang.
In a video posted to Instagram on Thursday, the 29-year-old slipped in and out of his adopted US accent.
The nepo baby, who is the son of Australian TV legend Richard Wilkins, was heard explaining the Starbucks cup sizes to his father.
‘A grande—it’s a size named after Ariana Grande because she actually was the CEO of Starbucks at a time,’ he joked, all while slipping between his Australian and American accents.
‘No it’s not the large which actually really doesn’t make sense because it does mean large. A venti is like the large,’ he added.
Responding to his father’s question about why the grande size cup wasn’t the largest, Christian said with a Californian twang: ‘It’s because Ariana Grande is bite-sized.’
Christian moved to LA in April 2023 to find acting and presenting roles.

However, his dreams hit a snag last year thanks to the SAG-AFRTA strike that brought Hollywood to a standstill.
Christian joined the strike himself, and attended a protest with Australian actor Luke Cook outside Netflix headquarters.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph during the demonstration, Christian said: ‘It definitely wouldn’t have been my choice example of a time to move here but it is also kind of amazing to be here and see how the community has banded together.’
Last year, he told Who magazine he hopes to secure opportunities in Hollywood.

‘I’ve always wanted to be an actor or a late-night TV host. That would be a dream… so let’s try and manifest that and see if it happens.’
The fashionista made a name for himself walking red carpets with his father and briefly tried his hand at acting in the series Eden.
Considered one of Australia’s fastest growing influencers, Christian landed a desk job at Channel Nine straight out of school.
He now has over 45,800 followers on Instagram and brand deals with Golden Gaytime, Vida Glow, Mecca and Sunglass Hut.
