Do these Swedes have an accent at all?

What do you think about some of the Swedish Hollywood/soap opera actresses who have become famous the last couple of years, is their English good? Do they have an accent at all?
I'm talking about girls like Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe in Days of our Lives) or Malin Akerman (Lila in Heartbreak Kid, Tess in 27 Dresses, Juna in Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback) or Helena Mattsson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1998498/).

Yes they do, but Scandinavian people seem to lose their accent.

There are a number of Scandinavian football players in England who have lost their accents and taken on regional dialects.

Search youtube for interviews with Jan Molby and Peter Schmeichel for proof!

Wow, really? I can't hear their accent. It's like you will find an accent if you're listening hard enough but then again, I don't know. Malin was raised in Canada btw.
Sadly, I couldn't find any interviews on Youtube with Molby and Schmeichel.
