Apparently, he's quite bright, so it's not all that surprising. In fact, considering his academic record, it's a shame that he went into acting! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

According to The Onion, this has not been an easy road for Dolph Lundgren. Read on.

Its not a shame he went into acting, if he does what he loves then thats what matters. ^^ acting isn't just for those who can't do maths :P

True, but perhaps if he hadn't gone into acting and became an academic instead, his contributions to the development of human society might have been more substantial... ...then again, I do like most of his films! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This list is very incomplete. Viggo Mortensen (from The Lord of the Rings) speaks fluent Spanish and Danish in addition to English. Kevin Rudd, the prime minister of Australia, speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese. Sam Sullivan, mayor of Vancouver where the 2010 Olympics will be held, can read and speak Cantonese and Punjabi. Tommy Lee Jones, American actor, speaks fluent Spanish. The interpreters at the UN are usually polyglots, like Claude Piron (who speaks at least six languages), and then there are hyper-polyglots like Stuart Jay Raj and Ziad Fazah who are fluent in over fifteen languages.
