Found this watching German videos,

I'm pretty sure this kid is natively fluent in 4 languages.

I want to take a guess and say he's a native German speaker?

German, French, English, and Dutch.

Ahh, I was wrong... Though he said he was British, here he explains better...
And in the continuation of that video, he also says he doesn't speak those languages...

Oh man that's awesome. It was pretty funny too. I wonder if he is trying to learn any more languages?

Also shouldn't this be in the Polyglots forum?

Wow, his German sounds native to me. The Dutch segment is a little harder to assess since it is a string of provocations, but it could be native as well. His Bavarian/Austrian accent sounds reasonably accurate. No surprise that he grew up in those countries.

He says in one of his videos that he is German and moved to the Netherlands around 5 years old, which is where he learned to imitate accents (from foreign films). He later moved to Scotland.
