He is Aragorn, what else do you guys expect from him? He is a king.
He speaks catalan because Aragorn and Aragon is almost the same thing
He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance.
True. He can speak any language
some call him Strider
Yeah, right!
He doesn't just speak the languages, he's using the correct inflections so well it appears native. That's very impressive.
Dubbadizzo86 Don’t know much, but his French not so much
@@hermanhelmich his danish is on point, aswell as his english, rest i can't judge.
His french needs some work but goddammit give the man a chance... 7 languages :o
Perfect Catalan
Yep, it's very impressive, but yeah, the French sounds more like if he was reading a text without really understanding what he says.
I don't know if you have watched one of the best trilogy ever made in human history or not, but this guy speaks elvish too, :D
Rifqi Main Gitar RoFl😄
👍🏼👍🏼😂😂😂😂
))))))
I'm pretty sure Aragorn could speak both Sindarin and Quenya, as well as Numenorian and probably a few other human languages x)
Very good and valid point! :)
Tolkien would have been so stoked to have this guy as Aragorn, I like to think.
He is very special. Actors are usually glorified through their roles written for them. Viggo is just a character in real life - you couldnt make him up.
Tolkien was a language guy himself. He spoke multiple languages.
@@Slashplite He MADE languages
I’m willing to bet he’d smile and be like “that well read, handsome chap? Yes, he’s just the man I envisioned.”
Rumors has it that Tolkien based some of his universe on Denmark, there's an island in Denmark called Hjelm and the sea that hugs the island is called Hjelms Dyb (Helms deep) not far from Isgård (Isengaard) just to name an example, so having a guy who's half part danish playing Aragorn makes me think you are absolutely right, not to mention that Viggo seems to be an uncrowned very humble king.
He seems like the absolute most polite and kind person ever
@Ted Love he’s from denmark
@Ted Love He is a ranger from the North

@@napoleonfuckeged5956
Det er sandt. Vi er ikke svensker. :-D
he is, very respectfull with everyone, every culture, country and everything
Of course he speaks seven languages: "He is Aragorn son of Arathorn, the nine and thirtieth heir in the right line from Isildur, and yet more like Elendil than any before him."
And you owe him your allegiance.
Who? This pants-wearing impostor? Real Aragorn worn no pants.
@@Hi-vf9wx he has it
Vandal Valo The real Aragorn is rotoscoped!
And you owe him your alligiance , b*tch”
Amazing. He even dresses in 7 languages.
Truly an underrated comment.
HAHAHAHAHAHA true!
lmfaooo
Mmm probably thats the secret!
@@theyliedtoyouaboutworldwar1944 If only. !
His italian pronounciation is almost flawless. There are hints of roman accent too. This man is a linguistic genius.
His Spanish is perfect. A very neutral accent.
@@nachodiaz2221 It's an Argentinian accent
@@nachodiaz2221 Not neutral... he said "sos" this is a variation of "eres" in the Rio de la Plata...
@@nachodiaz2221not neutral at all, is a very strong Argentinian accent.
one of the most underrated actors ever, the fact he has not won an Oscar yet is a joke .
He’s won best picture multiple times
@@WangMotions HE CAN NOT WIN BEST PICTURE CUZ HE IS AN ACTOR AND ONLY A MOVIE CAN WIN THAT ,GENIUS .
he was nominated for 3 Oscar ,never got one. Check your facts Professor 🤣😂
The Oscars are a load of wank!

@@Liam.2000 fun off peasant🤣
This guy would make such an intelligent & charming James Bond Villain
Totally agree!! It s strange that Bond movie makers don t think to him for that!
Absolutely agree!!!
I was going to say he already played one but that was Mads Mikkelsen
Villain? seriously comon...he's better off being a good guy
Id be more afraid of someone who is charming and intelligent. Kinda like Christoph Waltz. Christoph had what i call a _'malicious charm'_ to his character because it is intoxicating. charming, yet so very dangerous . him and Viggo have this aura of classy sophistication that are unlike any non-villan. James bond is classy, but his is more out of arrogance but that is how his character is supposed to be played.
Excellent English, excellent Spanish, excellent Danish, excellent french, excellent Italian, passable Arabic, good Catalan.
A true polyglot.
How do you know if they're good? Do u speak these languages?
Arabic passable dont know about the rest except english
Thanks for the review
Passable danish too. Although his heritage is danish, he has an obvious accent
@@TheSultanBo Ej, stop dig selv.
He speaks Arabic in the most difficult dialect, spoken in the northern west of African countries like Morocco and Tunisia…. Very impressive!
I know it's impressive, but a king needs to have this skill.
Very bad Arabic I don't regard him speaking Arabic at all, his dialect is not understandable.
@White Boy god bless him for it :)
@White Boy this is not true, man
@@Bekltuvanetko i bet you speak less shit for people to undestand.
@White Boy nah bro it was 100 billion
Viggo is scary intelligent. What a renaissance man
He is not, most European can speak several European languages. He probably doesn't know much Arabic as well.
@@MotraZotra LMAO, why are you so butthurt. He's speaking Arabic in this very video. In addition, speaking seven distinct languages, regardless of what they are, is a considerable achievement. Especially when they are not all romance languages. English, Arabic, Danish, and Catalan are all very different than the latin-based languages. Certainly he's by no means the only one who can do this, but it certainly does take a prodigious talent - especially when it's not his actual job
You don't understand words. There is a reason between knowing a language and speaking a few sentences.
Most European speak several European language, it's not that special in Europe.
Orale Butthurt.
I was kind of expecting him to speak English, high elf, wood elf, dwarf, ancient numenorian, Mordor orc and Misty Mountain goblin
He speaks Danish though.
@@TheGrmany69 I don't think that sounds like elvish at all
And he did
Orc and Goblin aren't supposed to be spoken, they are supposed to be killed. :-)
Isnt't Misty Mountain in the Nice Guys?
Okay, true story. Down here where I'm from, they filmed part of Captain Fantastic. Viggo was at our local co-op and a friend of mine who speaks fluent Elvish decided to approach him since they were both shopping there.
So, my friend walks up to where Mr. Mortensen was speaking with some folks and signing autographs. He takes a deep breath and says in Sindarin "Man erin, Aragorn réd -o Arathorn, aran plural erain or erein -o Gondor", aka "Good morning, Aragorn son of Arathorn, high king of Gondor."
Mr. Mortensen turns around grinning from ear to ear and says back "Man erin na cin, too, nin mellon."
Amazing!
Deep geek.
This gave me chills.
The fact that he does not only speak fluently, but also with barely noticable accent & proper intonation surprises me
he has a strong accent in French and English
@@danielracovitan9779 he doesn't really have a strong accent in English. It's not an American or British accent, but it's very neutral.
@@danielracovitan9779 No, it's wrong, his french accent is very very good for a foreigner.
@@danielracovitan9779 he's a native speaker of English, his mother was a US citizen, and he was born in New York. He lived in his early childhood in Venezuela, Denmark (his father was Danish) and Argentina, but from 11 years old onwards he lived in the US, in NYC, until he graduated from the university. Then, moved to the UK, Spain, Denmark, and back to the US.
So, NO, he has no foreign accent whilst speaking English.
Unless you speak those languages, there's no way for you to know.
Viggo is pretty high on the list of most interesting people in the world.
And he does tons of different things. Painting, writing, photography....
He's the embodiment of a polyglot
He's so fucking underrated
Totally.
I agree!
Not only does he nail the languages, he nails the accents too.
exacto, eso es más importante que los sonidos que emitas
Cierto, con el italiano, parecía un tano con su entonación Un capo.
Ironically its only his danish dialect thats impossible to place.
Luis Grasso si, soy italiano y su acento es casi perfecto, un grande actor
Right!
Let's see: Speaks multiple languages, can act, a musician, he's good looking, a nice guy! Yep, he's not missing anything!
also a poet! and animal whisperer
I'm starting to imagine that the Duolingo Bird is an actual creature in Middle-Earth.
It's Gwaihirs cousin ;)
it's called an owl
He stalks my dreams
The duolingo bird actually sent the eagles to help everyone get home so they didn't miss anymore lessons.
@Outrageous Accent! not yet but i bet its coming. You can learn Klingon, for example.
My wife must never see this clip - she already loses her shit over this guy, but to find out he's THIS intelligent just takes it to another level.
Haha awesome! She has good taste! 😍
Show her clip and then slip on a Viggo face mask, and then say a couple of lines in French, Spanish or Italian... Enjoy being her Placebo Viggo!
argentino papa
I'm pretty sure he knows swedish too, even if it wasn't in this clip. so no, don't tell her he knows at least 8 languages lol

that's dissapointing to hear. You should beat her into submission so she only loves you.

Can't do math though
@@Maxxplayne John Snow know nothing.
Longue vie au roi
I speak 3 of these 7 languages and can confirm that his pronunciation is without a doubt flawless!
It’s almost like he physically morphs into the Nationality of the language he’s speaking! Incredible!
Oh my god! I just mentioned that in this comments' section before reading this! Since I speak Spanish I noticed immediately he seemed to instantly turn into an average working class argentino 🇦🇷
Random his Spanish is beyond perfect and I’m so impressed I love him so much 😍♥️
El lo mentioning alguna vez, que cuando joven vivió en la Argentina
@@LuzMaria95 tanto como beyond perfect no, no es para tanto 😅 he speaks like lower middle class barrio argentino. Usted está es enamorada 😛
@@IRosamelia very judgmental of you. So somehow if you have more money then you speak better Spanish? You sound like a stuck up European Argentinian, you want to be Spanish so bad, but you're just Latino American like the rest of us, the best accents come from poor people
he even manages to be funny in other languages. That means he knows the language pretty well, and the culture of the people that speak it. Always liked him, but more impressed now
Good point. I knew my Japanese was getting pretty good when Japanese people started laughing at my jokes.
Agreed, very hard to be funny in another language! I hope I am funny in French now, Idk haha.
This doesn’t even include the Russian or the elvish he knows....
А чё сразу русский-то?
Or the Elvish Russian.
@@bobdole7127 you mean Ukrainian?
@@musanthrope Yes. Yes I do.
Next he'll be speaking klingon.
Remarkable, even his mannerisms change with the language.
His Spanish is absolutely perfect. I thought he was Argentinian the first time I heard him.
He grew up in Argentina actually :)
His danish is very good as well.
+Possumlove dansk 😉
@Possumlove he's not a Dane. He's American by birth and he's more Argentinian than American or Dane by heart.
@Teal'c undeniable logic...😂😂
I speak 5 of these 7 languages and can attest that he's absolutely flawless in all of these! *motivation to practice*
Yeah I was about to ask I don’t speak any of these languages I speak Persian russian armenian and english but I don’t speak these languages so I was curious to know at what level he is speaking that’s all
@Ted Love "By the way, Y O U ' R E means "you are", Y O U R means YOUR!!"
"I can't even believe I even thought about getting back together with you! We are SO over!"
I’m fluent in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and can order in German. But this man’s language prowess is off the charts. Bravo bien hecho.
@@pierrebidkhanian3135 Regarding diction and meaning, he's flawless in both Spanish (Rioplatense accent) and Italian (standard). I don't know about the others.
the arabic was actually terrible but sweet of him to try
His Russian in "Eastern Promises" was near flawless. Even though he isn't fluent, his ear must be incredibly sensitive. Also, I don't know any elves personally, but I'm sure they would say the same of his elvish.
I've heard he's spent months traveling in Russia incognito. He believes in Stanislavsky method acting
@@MariaBelova I can totally believe that. Full immersion. And it paid off!
Was always one of my favourite actors. Very talented. He is linguistically very talented. 🏆
what a back handed compliment
I speak elvish and his is flawless
No matter what language Viggo speaks, I love his voice-so calm and down to earth ❤
his Spanish is perfect. With an Argentinian accent. Impressive guy.
jajajajaja
He lived there as a kid
I don’t speak Spanish but actually thought to myself that he does sound similar to many of the Argentinian’s I’ve heard over the years such as Javier Zanetti
He grew up in Argentina...
Es Argentino
Would you expect anything less from the Dunedain?
Seriously though, Tolkien would have loved him. His lifes work was the study of languages.
Such an underrated comment. Tolkien truly loved it.
*Dunadan*
when you are a ranger that travel the lands for hundreds of years, you pick up some languages
not hundreds but decades
good one! thx
@@maxie4937 no hundreds is correct, he was the descendant of Elros and was blessed with long life, not immortality but long life of hundreds of years, in the movies he is 87 by LOTR folklore
@@KrazieSevin You are correct if we are talking about life expectancy of a Dúnedain. In fact, Aragorn lived until 210 years old. But we are talking about how long he has been traveling the lands being a ranger, hence the correct answer is: few DECADES.
Maybe he owns an antiques shop too.
I heard him on the French radio once he had absolutely no problem doing the interview in French
I love his Argentine accent when he speaks Spanish.
He grew up in Argentina so it comes naturally...impressive coupled with his other dialects.
Is his first language. They left Argentina when he was 12 years old.
@@sebassanchezc-1379 given that his father was Danish and his mother was American, he probably grew up speaking those 2 languages at home and then spoke Spanish in school
@@TykusBalrog he never left "culturally' the country. He's a complete fan of his Club San Lorenzo...he's always updated with the jargon of football, politics, ordinary people, he's promoting Argentinean/Spanish language artists...also he's a prankster and with his anecdotes it's difficult to know what is truth or invention..
@@sebassanchezc-1379 we were talking about what languages he spoke. I don't doubt that he probably feels mainly Argentinian and American.
Duolingo would make a fortune sponsoring this guy. He even speaks Elvish.
Lol
More like they would spend a fortune

He speaks 7 languages and looks 15-20 years younger, than he actually is ( 61 ) ...
What? 61? Really?
That's his numenorean blood.
An inmortal true King
It's cause he is a Dunedain
@Im wearing tights that I borrowed from your mum. Not like that ... He still has full hair and tide skin on top of his vibrant aura.
His Spanish is perfect and his accent is from Argentina.
jaja, es que es argentino XD
@@Oo-Angel-o0 He is from New York from a Danish mother. He lived in Argentina, though.
@@marcosgomezolivos No. Es americano de madre Danesa. Vivió en Argentina. Resalto su acento porque no siendo latino (ni Argentino), su acento es impecable.

@@claudiorodriguez7661 jeje es verdad... pero vivió solo 2 años en EEUU y luego casi toda su infancia en Argentina, por eso se puede decir que es practicamente argentino. XD
Aragorn: speaks spanish and catalan
Gimli: that still only counts as one.
Not at all
Spanish and catalan are very different. Comparable to Spanish vs Italian or Spanish vs Portuguese.
Thats the best comment I ever seen
@@dimitarberbatov3752 You flatter me.
@Jesse Montgomery Speaking of 4 year old's, does your mom know you're using her computer to post insults that were old before you were born as if you just thought of them?
He is absolutely amazing to speak so many different languages, what a great actor too!😊
Wow his Spanish has absolutely not one hint of
English accent. He could sound 100% local in argentina
No he isn't
If you read his wikipedia, hes lived a bunch of different places in his early life. Hes danish-american and has lived both places for longer periods of time, as well as attended school in argentina. Wouldnt say his culture is argentinian. Hes very much a citizen of the world.
and actually in france or italia too xDD
@@RJMacReady1 I wouldn't say he is culturally Argentinian either but he visits the country quite regularly and had filmed a few movies in Argentina too. I would say he feels pretty close to the culture. When he is here, by hearing him talk you can notice how familiarized he is.
English is his mother tongue but his native language is spanish. HE grew up speaking that language. Just check the videos on youtube, he said clearly "my brothers and I never spoke in english together before moving back to US". It's like jennifer lopez her mother tongue is spanish but not her native language, because she speaks english pefectly but not spanish.
What do you expect from Aragon the heir of Isildur, king of the Dunedain, aka Estel aka Ellasar.
Aka Strider!
aka King of the North
Elessar* ;)
True that.
Aragorn.......
Reminds me of Christopher Lee. He could speak English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili, three dialects of Urdu and also a little bit of some other languages. So damn impressive this people!
German also
@@amandah.3083 not true. He’s said a couple of words it doesn’t count in. And I doubt about russian cuz I’m russian and never witnessed his fluency in that language in spite of searching for this
...and Swedish actually!
wait, what??
Was not aware. Have just caught up with on YT. Thanks!
Impressive. He sounds so natural in all of them too. That takes a lot of effort.
The most impressive part is, that in both spanish and danish he speaks with a distinct dialect native to the region. From the danish part it's quite clear that he speaks in a western dialect, but tries to speak standard danish. Very impressive.
it takes effort and also willingness. most people are either too lazy to try and speak accurately [they do enough to get by] or simply don't care out of lack of respect. that is sad because people are SO appreciative of the effort and why would you want to miss the op to build a bridge to others?
Not only he speaks those languages, his accents are all spot on!
You speak all those languages as well?
@@peterryder7941 The French is structurally good but the accent is far from standard French. It sounds like a Spaniard speaking French. There's nothing wrong with that, I'm just remarking upon it.
@@Galactusz007 Not all.
@@peterryder7941 Bordewijk is way too severe. I'm from Belgium, speak French as a 2nd language and have lived about 4 years in a largely French speaking neighbourhood with a French speaking partner. A native speaker will surely find him out but really his accent is way better than "a Spaniard speaking French". My French is more fluent than his, still not perfect of course, but I find his accent rather amazing. I have Spanish/Catalan relatives and I speak Portuguese, so Spanish is not too far away. As far as I can tell, his Spanish accent is really good, which in itself is not so difficult as Spanish is a phonetic language. His English ... I let the audience judge. The folks of the north are usually pretty amazing at languages and accents in particular. His Danish is native and his Arab ... I can't tell.
His spanish is from Argentina and the accent which is very typical is remarkable, he sounds like an actual Argentinian, most impressive. His french is comprehensible but doesn't quiet sound like a native. But man, I'm always impressed by people who speak so many languages, I only speak 3. Struggling with Russian.
His Spanish is Argentinian Spanish, and it is flawless. His accent is impeccable -- if I just heard him, I would think I'm listening to an Argentinian. I mean, WOW! You gotta love this guy.
It's amazing.....aside from English, if you're foreign and can speak a persons native language they automatically think you're a great person.
His American English is also flawless, sounds like a native speaker. I'm sure an American mother helped. But 6 other languages is almost too much to fathom.
@@sunsetsam33 I'm guessing identical twins. lol
@@James-nv1wf LOL. Good one. The old magician's trick people never think of.
@@sunsetsam33 You forget his native language is Danish and English due to his childhood where he lived in Denmark for years learning and studing due to his parents being danish one of them.
Viggo's father was Danish and his mother was American and he spent many years of his childhood in Argentina. He also lived in Denmark for two periods of his life. He is fluent in English, Danish, Spanish, and French. He is semi-fluent (conversational) in Italian and Catalan. 54% of Europeans speak two or more languages.

@@florecitadelcampo13 In Denmark where i live i think from the age of 65 and under atleast 90 percent speak two languages.
@@alanpetersen5061 Belgium: we're expected to speak at least three languages, sometimes four. Usually we speak either Dutch or French + English fluently, speak French or Dutch conversationally and some of us can speak a wee bit of German as well.
wait only 54% percent of europeans speak their own language plus english? That sounds like a low percentage. Here in sweden where I live, everyone can speak english, and many people I know speak it well too
@@Jens9807 the older generations don't speak english that well evetywhere in Europe for example in Czech Republic only 20-year-olds and younger than that speak it. I understand that it sounds weird that all the people in Europe does not speak english or some other second language because I'm a Finn and I speak Finnish, English, Swedish and Spanish.
Dude speaks perfect Spanish. He made a movie in Spain, “Alatriste”. Great movie, he spoke with a very convincing Spanish accent. You could not tell he was not Spanish.
Yes very unteraded movie alitriste
Yeah, He lived in Argentina for a long time as a child, that's why he knows Spanish perfectly
His native language is Spanish, since he lived in Argentina from the time he was a toddler until he was 11 years old.
Obviamente el español que él habla es rioplatense. Ha hecho otras películas en español además de "Alatriste", como fueron "Todos tenemos un plan" de 2012 o "La Pistola de mi Hermano" de 1997.
Ayo,his Spanish isn’t of someone who learned Spanish as a 2nd language , but of one who was born in a Spanish speaking country. That’s insane
He lived in Argentina as a small kid
Good that he didn’t forget the accent after all this time
Eso es así.
He lived in Venezuela and Argentina.
He lives in Spain for several years now, and his life partner is spanish, so it influences for sure. Beside his lingual talent
I'm Catalan and he speaks catalan so good. And his spanish with argentinian accent is nice.
What is Catalan?
@@felecia9878 it’s a language that is spoken in Catalonia, a Spanish region. It has the same origin than the French , Italian and Spanish languages.
@@felecia9878 Catalonia is the wealthiest region in Spain. It starts up north from the border with France and goes all the way down the eastern coast down halfway between Barcelona and Valencia along the coast. While it's western border is 150km inland from Barcelona and borders the region of Aragon.
Catalán es un dialecto del español
No lo es. Son idiomas distintos aunque son relacionados.
I've read that he said he was most comfortable expressing himself in Spanish and it does sound like that is the language he was most comfortable with here.
He spoke Spanish with an Argentinian accent. I thought it was excellent.
It appears he partly grew up in Argentina

And a great actor also!
Sounds like Middle-Earth to me. Don't they play music and share poetry there? :D
@@promenadeable ahahah so true
*8 languages, he can also speak elvish
There are two Ennorean Elven languages: Quenya, a derivative of the language spoken in Valinor which is also the language spoken in Lothlorien. The other, and most widely used is Sindarin: the language spoken by the Sindar.
This video only showed him speaking 7 languages.
9 languages*
Allegedly. I've heard that he can speak a bit of Swedish too. Wouldn't be surprising, since it's very close to Danish. ;)
True dat 😂
10* also a bit of norwegian
He was observed in a U.K. pub speaking fluent Gibberish after finishing a whole bottle of Jameson's.
Gibberish that became gaelic.

Lmao
Yup, "The Fifth Element", apparently that line wasn't scripted ...

Lol I always reference this irl

I love that movie 🤣
I'm Italian and I can say he speaks a perfect Italian with NO ACCENT, it's incredible
His accent is barely noticeable in English, he's got an ear for linguistics.
His Danish is amazing too. Almost no accent... hehe!
No accent in spanish either
Beh oddio adesso non esageriamo... Si sente l'accento straniero.. Resta comunque bravissimo per un non madrelingua.. Anche perché conosco italiani che parlano peggio di lui !!
but his french is terrible. I don't think he actually speak french, he is just reading, you can see it at his eyes.
He always sounds so polite!
Not only beautiful, polite, funny, talented but also multilingual!!!! Wow I’m really drooling…..
I study Spanish for 10 years, travel to Central America, become a Spanish teacher, and marry a Hispanic woman.
He speaks Spanish for 30 seconds and I realize that I’m not fluent enough to understand the hell he just said. I’m going home.
Don't be harsh on yourself pal. 😂😂😂
Well, that's the catch with spanish. If you are not a native speaker, just learn the spanish from 1 country and stick with it.
Because he doesn't speak spanish, he speaks argentinian 😂
@@ArmyEnergyGum Wtf... They do speak spanish in Argentina and just like every latin american countries they are accents according to the region you was born in
Don't be harsh on yourself mate, this guy lived in Argentina for a long time when he was young.
It’s a beautiful thing to be that smart.
Gifted is a better term.
Well, I guess he's smart, but not necessarily more than average. Easy learner though, and interested in languages, that he must be.
Ja tack, easy learner equals intelligent, dipshit.
@Cholestroll Whatsamatter, you a slow learner and made the connection?
@@barbarosatmaca3318 I didn't say it was equal.
I’m definitely NOT showing this to my girlfriend!
Rest assured, she's seen it before 🙃
lol probably a wise decision. He's the only guy of anywhere near that age that I like
@Stimulator7 yes
I definitely DON'T have a girlfriend!
@Stimulator7 Why do you have to be so negative?! He doesn't want to show it to his gf bc she'll make him learn seven languages for their "nightly act" ;) if you catch my drift.
This is so impressive! I'm going to guess Viggo has no trouble memorizing his lines for a movie.
He speaks Russian too. The guy is a fluent polyglot
What is "russian"?
@@therondo6116 Русский язык
And he looks different in each language too.
Also speaks swedish:)
If you mean Eastern Promises, then it's hard to understand his accent. I'm Russian, I don't think he speaks it fluently
He goes beyond the standard case of someone speaking e.g Spanish and also French, Italian or Portugese on top of that. I was amazed to see he even speaks Arabic. The guy is a genious
"genious" ? lol
How many languages do you speak?
Theo D fucking RIP that guy 😂😂😂
gienjiös
@@tdhd not even my own perfectly
This man also speaks Orc, Dwarf and Elf. Amazing.
everasheron I bet elvish but dwarf and orc I have suspicions
And also speaks Jeringozo
and Troll!
@@lorddeath6300 He definitely spoke the Sindarin and Quenya dialects of "Elvish" but likely did not speak Khuzdul (Dwarvish) or Black Speech (Mordor Orcish) fluently or at all. Using Black Speech in anything other than an academic context was stigmatized in Arda because of its association with Morgoth, its creator.
@@AblemanSy Trolls did not have their own language, instead using Black Speech if they were from Mordor or Westron (English) otherwise.
Orgulloso de ser de San Lorenzo y haber vivido y filmado en ARGENTINA!! Mas orgullo para nosotros de Argentina que venga 3 veces al año, como el mismo lo dijo. Y poder gozar cada tanto de su presencia, Un hombre Único!! MARAVILLOSO ACTOR... ARTISTA Y MEJOR SER HUMANO. Abrazo desde Argentina.
Daaamn , he speaks a perfect italian, i'm sincerely impressed
And perfect spanish too, i'm from Argentina.
His english is simply divine, im from the United States.
His elvish is also perfect. I’m from Rivendell.
@@Saiibot ok, you won :P
@@Saiibot love it! 😂♥️👍🏽
He's got an impressive Italian, I haven't seen many foreigners speak that well
He grew up in Argentina. The Argentine Spanish has a slight Italian-esque rhythm when spoken. Lot's of Italian influence in Argentina.
@@lissandrafreljord7913 he has also a southern accent
Spanish and italian are very similar languages and he speaks spanish perfectly
@@lissandrafreljord7913 Yet Spanish is NOT Italian, so...
Meanwhile, me, only can say "Cazzo" XD
How has he not been a Bond villain? He would be all time great
Wow you're totally right! What the hell ..he would be amazing as a Bond villain for so many reasons, even if the franchise itself is nose diving quicker than you can say "shaken not stirred".
How did they miss that? Moreover I didn't think of it either. He'd be up there with the likes of Mads Mikkelsen and Javier Bardem.
A Spanish Main villain who isn’t just a puppet .. love this comment we have to start a petition .. get Christopher Nolan to do a bond trilogy or even one movie with Viggo as the villain but we’d need a really good bond and a really good script to lure Viggo in
Nolan Bond standalone film with Daniel Craig again, and Viggo Mortensen playing a very influential and powerful Danish warlord. Something fearsome!
Comment of the year my man so fukn true
UNREAL HOW HE CAN SPEAK all of them *PERFECTLY*
Why do I feel like he's speaking every language he knows with a strong Elvish accent?
Mustafa Uğur Etike Because he spoke Elvish with a strong Viggo Mortensen accent.
He lived in Argentina, that’s why he has a perfect Argentinian accent.
JXEditor 😂😂😂😂
His danish is excellent as well. You can actually hear what part of Denmark he lived. It's completely fluent but a little diluted, you can still hear the american in there in some places because he rarely speaks danish obviously. He basically sounds exactly like a danish person who has spend many years outside Denmark, speaking american english. Pretty crazy considering he didn't live in Demark for that many years.
JXEditor Viggonian?
Producer: So how many languages can you speak in?
Viggo: *Yes*
Viggo: *SI*
Viggo: *Oui*
Viggo: نعم
Viggo: Да
according to the elvish translater Yes translates to "uma".
Wikipedia: "Upon graduating, he lived in England and Spain, then moved back to Denmark, where he took various jobs such as driving trucks in Esbjerg and selling flowers in Copenhagen"
Crazy to think that he has just been a random dude, and people on the streets in Denmark have been seeing a random truck driver (and some has bought flowers from him) without knowing that he's one day gonna play one of the most iconic roles in movie history.
Well no wonder.
He was trained as Strider aka Aragorn had beed trained before taking the throne of Gondor
That's the best way to learn, when you are forced by life to do it to survive.
arctic 1878 He’s still just a human being. Definitely still just a random but hardworking guy in my eyes.
Wrong! He learned spanish because he lived in Argentina and Venezuela when he was a child, his accent is even argentinian ... The fact the he speaks spanish not necessarily means he lived in Spain.
A true polyglot! Amazing! One of my favorite actors!
People who unliked this video was jealous of him!
Well they don’t have a “ boring” button. ☺️
@@esterhudson5104 if it was boring why wouldn’t they just click off
You are right.
Are you mixing unliking with disliking?
Exactly
Not only does he speak 7 languages. He speaks them incredibly fluently!
@Abu Qital English, Danish, Spanish were on point
The catalan was invented
@@DanishCamp So were the French and Italian. Certainly conversant.
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi Is French was really good. But I wouldn't say fluent. Almost.
Well, yeah. If you speak a language, that usually means you're fluent at it. :'D Chump-ass bitch. Get smart. :'D
Viggo speaks Danish: ordinary man
Viggo speaks French: oui oui, look at my weird cap
I think it's a law that you have to wear a beret while in France.
@@86thsamurai haha weird urban legend.. its same than if you speack eng you must be FAT

The French accent can be really hard to nail
😂😂😂😂
He speaks 7 languages? 😱👍😭I’m so impressed by this dude! Why can’t there be more guys like him! 😩💜😍
His father was a diplomat so he lived in different countries growing up. 🛣
Micky Sanchez can you imagine how many best friends from each country he has growing up lol
His father was danish and a poor farmer. His family lived in NY, but moved to Venezuela and before Argentina just becuse his family poorness.
@@dias9469 not true... His father was a diplomat.
@@mickysanchez5511 where are you getting that information
Rivendell must have been a nice place too.
There's something very sexy about a man who is skilled in speaking many languages.
you mean sexy like in "his tongue is versatile" ?
Translates, there something sexy about a rich man.
Duly noted. =)
I can speak Hungarian. :D
@@marimeis6265 classy and rarer, perhaps because one can use only english as the essential language for *practical* uses since we have limited time to spend learning non-essential ones?
His Argentinean spanish sounds like he actually thinks in spanish, but they all sound impeccable
he was raised in Argentina but not in Buenos Aires; I think in one of the provinces, that's why he uses "he hecho" (have done) rather than "hice" (did).
Estas equivocada Victoria, el acento es Argentino y porteño, criado en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, en el barrio de Boedo, por eso es hincha del Club Atletico San Lorenzo de Almagro.. Igual que el Papa Francisco.
Marcelo Giongo, hola, nooo...🤦....Vieggo siempre cuenta que desde 2 años vivió su niñez en la provincia del Chaco y Formosa....luego estuvo en la provincia de Buenos Aires....y que el siempre fue de San Lorenzo...el Papa es del barrio de Flores y aún el es de San Lorenzo....si bien el club del equipo de fútbol viene del barrio de Almagro....los socios o fanáticos no quiere decir que es requisito vivir o que hayan vivido en la Capital en el Barrio de Almagro....son de San Lorenzo porque lo sienten....yo no nací en el barrio La Boca pero soy de Boca porque la siento....Paz y Bien.
Ethel Arduino, ante la duda estuve googlendo y al parecer solo estuvo poco tuempo en Chaco y luego se mudó a la Ciudad de Buenos Aires hasta la separacion de sus padres, sí equivoqué el barrio, hubiera jurdo escuchar por él mismo que vivio en Boedo, pero según La Nacion (www.lanacion.com.ar/190123-viggo-mortensen-un-argentino-en-la-tierra-media): ."....este neoyorquino de nacimiento vivió su infancia en nuestro país, en los barrios de Palermo y Saavedra (salvo una corta temporada en el Chaco), hasta que a los once años partió junto a sus padres de regreso al gran país del Norte. ...." . En una entrevista que le hacen en TN 'Tiene La Palabra' el mismo dice que regresa con su madre y hermanos a Nueva York por la separación de sus viejos.
Pero el caso es que sí vivio en Buenos Aires (de ahí su acento porteño, ¿como sino?) corrigiendo lo dicho por Victoria M. Saludos.
Marcelo Giongo, hola, gracias por corregirte está vez buscando la información correcta y no estaba tan lejos en lo que dije...creo que estaba más serca que tu primer comentario...gracias...ahora ya sabes que no es necesario ser del barrio de Almagro para ser fanático del Club San Lorenzo.....Paz y Bien.
I was not expecting his Spanish to be good. Turns out it's amazing, the same level as any other native speaker.
When it says He's speaking in spanish, actually He's speaking perfect Argentino.
Argentino perfecto
Es decir el castellano. 😀
La lengua de los dioses.
El hombre más porteño del mundo
@@laurac1101 español italiano y frances, mas porteño que el mismo buenos aires

He actually speaks more than 7.

@@UGuessin I am and will forever be madly in love with Christoph Waltz❤️
Waltz know the sounding, but i think he just speaks german and english
I speak several of the languages Viggo is speaking, and he expresses himself effortlessly. I am seriously impressed.
He would be a perfect for the witcher role resembling Geralt of Rivia.
He does look a bit like Geraldo Rivera when he's grown a mustache.
You said it all
Damn!! never thought about this. he would be best choice instead of Henry Cavil
@@MLATX512 only in 2000-2003, now he is too old
@@goodgood9147 geralt is supposed to be old looking
He speaks fluent Danish, English, French and Spanish; he is also conversational in Italian, and understands Norwegian and Swedish. He has stated that he was raised speaking English and Spanish, and sometimes feels more comfortable expressing himself in Spanish.[27] He also has some knowledge of Catalan; twice, when receiving a prize in Catalonia, he made a short speech in Catalan. - Wikipedia.
Yeah, I was going to say - his Spanish is spot on. Has an Argentine accent and everything!
He also has a really good Russian accent as well in the movie Eastern Promises
you forgot the most important language, he is also fluent in elvish, the one Tolkien created for the lord of the rings!
Ho also understands German, speaking it a little.... He's a living translater machine!!!
He is Danish. so that's not exactly a shocker. Understanding Swedish and Norwegian comes with being Danish. Everything else is impressive. But speaking fluent Danish as Danish person isn't exactly an accomplishment.
My God some people have everything not only is he drop dead gorgeous he is highly intelligent.
How do you know his intelligence level? You don't need a high IQ to acquire a language. You just need to listen to it and read it.
The horrible story of a man that was forced to connect his youtube account to google+
Sorry I disagree
@Esperanza Lastarria I don't hate anyone, and you have no idea what his intelligence level is. Again, the number of languages you speak is not directly proportional to your IQ. There are droves of polyglots out there, you only need an interest, just like with everything else.
The horrible story of a man that was forced to connect his youtube account to google+ please get a life
@@gaildrake5940 How would you come to the conclusion that I don't have one? Same as you casually spewing statements about people's intelligence, based on false logic, I refute the logic behind those statements. You can't possibly know if Viggo is intelligent based solely on the quantity of languages that he speaks. And you can not accurately discern if I have a life or not based solely on my previous comments.
when he played lalin in Carlitos Way his Puerto Rican accent was on point
well...he was raised in Argentina the first years of his life, he comes from a Danish family, he has lived in the States and now he lives in Catalunya. That's the minimum someone has to do when living in a place: learn its language. And, apart from that, a couple or three extra major languages to be understood even further....brilliant
and there's people in my country that have lived here 60 years and REFUSE to learn the official language lmao

@@gabrielesolletico518 Non mi impressiona che parli il danese, visto che sui padre è danese. Per il resto, veramente bravo
His Spanish as well!
Real Nova you should watch, if you haven't already, "Green Book". He NAILS the Italian American accent of New York (I think it is Brooklyn but I am not sure), even the smallest details. It's really amazing.
He was reading in Italian, we don't know if he actually speaks Italian. His pronunciation is not that bad, but not good as well.
You know that dude had trim just waiting for him wherever he went.
