I interpreted it just like Doghouse Reilly, but then again I'm not sure. Very good speech, though, so the few mistakes don't matter.

According to filmbug, the actor Jean Reno speaks multiple languages,

"Reno, who spoke only his native Spanish, for the first 11 years of his life, speaks fluent French, Italian, English and Japanese. He divides his time between the South of France, Corsica, New York and Los Angeles."

Dolph Lundgren.

According to his own website, on the third question he answered "Well I speak Swedish and English of course, then German, French, Spanish, Some Italian and Japanese. There you have it!"

Apparently, he's IQ is 160, which certainly may have provided some help to his language skills (although that doesn't mean a high IQ is a must for language learning though)

Alanis Morissette. Her Dad is French-Canadian her Mom is Hungarian. She speaks both. I did read an article she did in French. She also wrote and recorded a song in which she sings in Hungarian (it's called "Mercy", on her greatest hits collection - and really really good!).

Anyone else impressed with Christoph Waltz' ability to switch effortlessly between English, French, German, and Italian in "Inglourious Basterds"? I was!

I know Jodie Foster is fluent in French, because she was in the French film Un long dimanche de fiancelles and did a pretty good job.

Also, I know that Penelope Cruz speaks Spanish and English, of course, and I think maybe French and/or Italian.
