As a German I can Attest that Sandra’s German is flawless and she even has a dialect that’s typical for the Region her relatives live.

Viggo Mortensen speaks 7 languages!! He should have definitely been on this list!

You could have included Christoph Waltz. He speaks German, French, and English so flawlessly that he even played roles speaking those languages.

I met Vigo Mortenson in Mexico City at a local dentists office. He was waiting for, what I assumed was his friend, and I was waiting for my brother and we had an pleasant conversation in perfect spanish. He was THE nicest actor person I've ever met, second goes to Eva Green, when I recognized him I said "Are you Mr. Mortenson" and his response was "Por favor; Viggo" then we talked about sports, the city, local restaurants etc; All in spanish. As he was leaving we shook hands and I said, "My brother is never gonna believe me" in english and he realized I was also a polyglot and he goes, and this is a direct quote, "you little rascal!" and "bis spater!" and as he's leaving out the door I go; "pas si je te vois an premier" and he laughed out loud as the door closed. Great memory.

Viggo Mortensen!! Absolutely should be No. 1. He doesn't do just interviews in multiple languages, he does movies

Sandra Bullock even speaks in the dialect of a certain region in Germany. Very impressive.

Christopher Lee who could speak Italian, French, Spanish, German, and English fluently. He also had moderate proficiency in Greek, Russian, and Swedish plus was conversationally fluent in Mandarin and had some background in Latin. Just one of the things that made him such an incredible human being.

Jodie Foster is the person who most impressed me with her language skills. Her French is flawless. She could easily pass for a native speaker.

'We are excluding interactions that took place in the artists' native language...' first entry, Timothee Chalamet, and describe how he grew up speaking the language, and spent summers with his grandparents in France. 🤔

But if timothée is half french and has french citizenship, surely that counts as a native language since he is bilingual because of his french father? so surely he shouldn’t be on this list if you’re excluding people who spoke their native language in an interview?

If you go to any tourist attraction in the Netherlands or Belgium, the tour guides will ask for a show of hands to see which language the tourists speak. And they will talk to all of them in their own language. it's incredible to hear them flipping effortlessly between Flemish, German, French, English and Spanish!

Nyongo have such a beautiful voice. It sounds even more hypnotic in Spanish 😍

Sandra Bullock speaks 97 % perfect german with a cute frankish accent

Tom Hiddleston was not speaking modern Greek, he was reading classical Greek, specifically Elektra by Euripides as it seems - which is just as amazing, well done!!

Sandra Bullock's German is really good. Far from perfect, mind, but leagues better than most foreigners who speak acceptable German (for a foreigner). She's on the level where she's actually not mangling the language. And she actually has a regional accent, Franconian.

Tolkien spoke 19 languages, 4 of which he created himself 🙏🏽💯

It’s a crime not to put Viggo Mortensen on the list. He speaks (even acted) fluent Danish and Spanish, conversation French and Italian, I feel like these videos often put the most well-known celebrities on the list and ignore the others is quite a letdown.

Connie Nielsen is a polyglot who speaks 8 languages: Danish, English, French, Italian, German, Norwegian, Swedish and Spanish. She and Viggo should be on this list.

It always amazes me how impressed native English speakers are by someone who speaks another language than their mother language fluently. I feel like everyone else is ahead of you in that regard lmao 😂

I have some serious respect for multilingual speakers, its so incredibly difficult and yet they do it anyway. My great grandpa immigrated from the Philippines, he could speak Tagalog, Filipino, and Spanish. Upon working as a laborer he learned to speak Mandarin and English. Its always fascinated me

Mariska Hargitay is not on this list and that’s a damn shame. Because she speaks like 5 languages fluently. Her dad was Hungarian, so she learned English and Hungarian simultaneously. Then learned Spanish, French, And Italian as a teenager. She’s spoken all of them on SVU.

Sorry, but Viggo Mortensen and his Spanish (in perfect Argentinian accent) will be for ever my number one.

Thank you. The Sandra Bullock origin is well known here in Germany. But you have forgotten one of the greatest of all time. Sir Peter Ustinov. Okay, he has unfortunately passed away so long ago. But I would like to remind everybody here of him. He learned a total of eight languages, six of which he spoke almost fluently. He spoke English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Russian fluently, as well as some Turkish and modern Greek. He was proficient in accents and dialects in all his languages. Ustinov provided his own German and French dubbing for some of his roles. R.i.P. Sir Peter Alexander Ustinov (born as Peter Alexander Freiherr von Ustinov)

Sandra Bullock speaks 97 % perfect german with a cute frankish accent. Shakira also speaks body language really well ️.

Sandra's German is amazing As a German I gotta say her pronunciation and wording is on point

This video is basically saying that learning a second language is only cool if you're American. Immigrants and other people who learned English as a second language deserve just as much credit!

How could you forget Natalie Portman who knows English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Hebrew, and German?

Gwyneth Paltrow's Spanish is flawless. Her accent is also very impressive.

They should have had Christopher Lee on this list. He gave interviews in Spanish, French, German, Italian and others. (and I think he was fluent in Tolkienian Elvish and Dwarfish)

I appreciate that Colin Firth maintains all his little "ehh, erms" when speaking Italian 😆

Lupita sounded so great! I was amazed she’s such a talented lady I just loved hearing her speak spanish

Im so glad that there are celebrities that speak other languages. The world will be alright now.

I speak a little French, but I could never even imagine doing an interview like some of these people. If you learned to fluently speak another language, then respect!

Lupita’s accent in Spanish is super cute as it has a bit of African on the tone 😍

Don't forget Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee. He was fluent in English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish. "Moderately" proficient in Swedish, Russian, and Greek. And "conversational" in Mandarin Chinese. As always thank you all so very much for the videos. He did interviews, entire movies, and even sang in multiple languages.

The most impressive actor I have ever seen is Viggo Mortensen; I met him at LAX and he was having conversations in French, Italian, German and Spanish with multiple people. I speak these 4 languages and I have a slight accent, but Mortenson was seamless is his dialogue.

this list is cool but let’s also shine light on how actors who aren’t from the english-speaking world giving interviews in perfect english are also very impressive

“Excluding an artists native language” Dual citizenship and grew up in a bilingual household KINDA makes French his native language 🤷🏼‍♀️ just saying

Sandra Bullock is truly amazing at whatever she does.

Gwyneth Paltrow sounded so natural. And the tone was different from her english voice. Very interesting :)

Viggo Mortensen is fluent in Spanish, Danish, and can speak French, Russian, and Italian to some degree. He also writes poetry in several languages. He belongs on this list!

As an Italian I can attest that Colin Firth's Italian is flawless. Thank you for make me notice he started using his hands too, to me it looks so natural I didn't think it was due to code switching

Johnny Cash once during a performance on Danish Tv, spoke Danish for quite a while. Me being Danish, Danish being very difficult in pronunciation and grammar. I was shocked by his determination and having practised so many sentences and those so hard, I understood everything.

In America, knowing a second language fluently is seen as a super power.

"We're excluding interactions that took place in the artist's native language." If they grew up in a household speaking the language, that's a native language. 🙄 Doesn't matter what country it was in.

Jodie Foster’s French is flawless.

As a French person born and raise in France I’m more impressed with Tom Hiddleston perfect prononciation of the French langage than Bradley cooper!

The more languages you speak, the more people you can talk to. It's amazing how people can change attitude if you address them in their native language. If you're young, you learn languages fast & relatively easy. Some people retain that capability later in life. And the more languages you already know, the easier it is to learn another one, especially if it's the same language family. I myself speak 4 languages. I learned them all in school, and with family, friends an neighbours, I spoke them. But why is this so amazing for celebs? Being an actor, you deal with language all the time. Most of them are pretty smart, too. So learning another one, especially if you grow up in an international environment, isn't that hard.

We need a Part 2 video including Viggo Mortensen, Anya Taylor-Joy, Natalie Portman, Diane Kruger, Mila Kunis, Ben Affleck who are absolutely amazing and fluent in other languages.

Fun fact- all of the Jonas Brothers are somewhat conversational in ASL. Their mother is an ASL teacher. There are videos of the Jonas Brothers (sorta…) conversing with one another in ASL onstage. Having said that, the majority of hearing ASL teachers don’t have as good of a grasp on ASL as they think they do. There’s so much to deaf culture. So, it’s best to have a deaf ASL teacher. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure Denise Jonas is great.

I have so much respect for stars who learn multiple languages. It helps with their appeal in different markets.

Will Smith said in Spanish, "You keep my wife's name out your mouth!"

Viggo Mortensen speaks Danish, English, French and Spanish fluently, as well as having some grasp of Italian, Catalan, Arabic, Norwegian and Swedish.

You missed Jody Foster. She grew up in LA, but she speaks French like a native. Absolutely perfect.

Can't believe Viggo Mortensen is not here.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is beautiful, charismatic, and an underrated actor. He has a niche for slaying roles based on true events. He really immerses himself into his character no matter the director. His French is a delight to hear even though it's not perfect. Also, #1 is someone who speaks a single language? BIASED! 🤨

Shakira is technically English, Portuguese, and French. Her native is Spanish.

As italian i can confirm Collin's hands are moving perfectly

Sandras german is so good, love it

How does Bradley Cooper make #1 just by being bilingual. That was one of the least impressive ones in my opinion. Hiddleston knowing like 10 languages is nuts!

If the criteria was that celebs using their native tongue weren't included, then none of the people raised bilingual (like Sandra Bullock or Timothée Chalamet) should've been on the list since both languages are native to them.

This list needs an update. The actor Bud Spencer worked in the Italian consulate in Recife, Brazil, where he learned to speak fluent Portuguese. Deserve to be in the next one.

I learned German when I lived there!! Loved it! So, I really enjoyed hearing Sandra Bullock!

Vigo Mortensen can speak anything.... You can make up a language, and he is already fluent in it :)

Jodie Foster speaks absolutely beautiful French. She should have been included in this list, too.

Bradley speaking french would melt any male or female french heart ❤❤❤❤

Bradley Cooper did a show called Globe Trekker, that's how I found out he could speak French. I think it's so cool that people can speak more than one language. One of my co-workers would teach me French but I never stuck with it.

Aren't Timothée & Sandra in the same category as Charlize? It is their native language from one parent, and both lived in France and Germany respectively for significant periods of time in their lives. Maybe we should compliment Charlize on her English instead LOL. Impressed with Tom Hiddleston being able to speak and read Greek, so much harder when the alphabet is not Romance/Germanic based.

Gwyneth has a very good Spanish accent and totally love that Sandra Bullock speaks German

This list forgot about Christoph Waltz. Shame!

Viggo Mortensen habla con fluidez varios idiomas entre ellos español xq es de origen argentino, debería estar en esa lista así como otros artistas que hablan muy bien otros idiomas, pueden hacer otra lista

Timothée Chalamet is the Cultured Softboi we love to watch. I love listening to him speaking in French. As someone who knows the language and teaches it, it’s nice to see it ♥️

Shakira should be at least #2. She writes songs in 4 different languages herself also!!

Miss Daniel Brühl, excellent actor who also can speak several languages flawlessly.

Timothy’s French is perfect

My dad was born in Athens, Greece and spoke 5 languages: Greek, Russian, Italian, German, and English. I was born in the USA and know 3 languages: English, Spanish, and Sign Language. ; )

My high school German teacher was from Czechoslovakia. He was expert in several Slavic languages as well as German. The Spanish teacher was expert in several Romance languages. Getting us students to the level of conversation fluency didn't seem to be the goal of the language curricula in those days, unfortunately.

So sweet when the person speak the language intrevistor's show how respect they have for the others cultures. Is kinda kindy :) I speak portuguese and learning english..

I was very impressed with Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds. He deserve this Oscar.

You forgot Audrey Hepburn who spoke French, Italian, English, Spanish and Dutch. As well as Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis who spoke English, French and Spanish.

FYI: When teenager, Gwyneth Paltrow spent a sumer in Spain, in Talavera de la Reina, as an exchange student. Years later, when she became famous, she wa named Hija Adoptiva (Adoptive Daughter) of the city. It's quite curious because when famous Americans learn Spanish, they usually learn Latinamerican Spanish, not European Spanish, as she did. And let me tell you that she speaks it greatly. Besides, it's quite funny how she ended going to Talavera de la Reina, which deffinetly is not one of the most relevant cities of Spain. I don't know... Is like if I ended learning English by going to the weirdest least imaginable placeof the US.

I speak Greenlandic, English, and Danish. I learned Greenlandic because my parents spoke it. I acquired Danish through my school education and living in Denmark. I picked up English through exposure to video games, music, movies, and its widespread use. My favorite language is English currently.

Wait a minute! You said that you were not going to include a person speaking their native language and immediately open with a person with dual citizenship, from a bilingual household speaking what amounts to his native language!

The interesting thing is that Sandra Bullock even speaks with a Franconian dialect, the area where she grew up. That is amazing. Not like the German one would learn at school.

So, Mojo excludes Charlize Theron but includes Timothee Chalamet? You can't have it both ways, MOJO!

So brave and courageous

I really like how I can understand most of what those actors actually are saying. Most of them use a pretty easy form of the target language. Sandra Bullock sounds a bit aggressive sometimes... haha (coming from somebody who's German himself ;-) but it's just the way she says some things... other than that it's a very interesting mix of NO accent certain words and very thick accent for others coming from her). Overall I really love her German voice! Keeping in mind, that all celebs not only have a lot of money, but also travel quite a lot and most of them have a good educational background... it's not really suprising that they can actually to a certain degree speak a second (or even third) language. From a non-english europiean perspective many people from a certain educational background speak at least English fluently (or fluent enough...) and a third language (french, italien, spanish, would be the classics... or for other people arabic, russian, etc.). So actually it's mostly english speaking countries where (sadly) too many people just don't learn at least a second language (if they are not raised with more than one). To put things into perspective ^.^

Colin Firth learning Italian as an adult for the love of his life is so romantic.

Wow Sandras German is absolut großartig Wahnsinn wie gut sie diese Sprache spricht 😂 Its great to hear her speaking German she's doing spectacular

Jeremy Irons speaks french too, not as well as Jodie Foster or Viggo Mortensen, but as well as Tom Hiddleston, who is very good.

Yes, it is very interesting that they can speak their other native language.

Surprised you didn't mention Natalie Portman. She can speak 6 different languages.

When I was living in Switzerland, Jodie Foster was interviewed on the French language TV & my colleagues were astounded at how well she spoke. Think she did the French Baccalaureate in high school.

The thumbnail is so eye-catching!

This may be the most american clip ever. "Breaking News! Apparently, there are other languages on earth now! And people who speak them!"

My first language was German, then English, then Hungarian. I rarely meet people here in the US who speak Hungarian, but it's always exciting when I meet someone who does!

So, you've included people who were raised bi-lingual and that's not the same as a native language??? I think they would disagree. Also, there are several who speak more than one or two languages - Viggo Mortenson comes to mind immediately - he speaks 4 or 5. Someone else mentioned Natalie Portman. But, they didn't make your list? The criteria for you list seems somewhat arbitrary - especially as Tom Hiddleston, who speaks several languages (including ancient Greek, ffs) ranks behind Bradley Cooper, who speaks one.

As a french guy I'm very pleased to know that Rocket speaks french 😁

Kevin Olusola from Pentatonix speaks near-perfect Chinese. He's done a few interviews with the group, and they're always blown away by his skill
