      FAMOSOS MULTILINGÜES
       

      El mundo del cine es multilingüe. Muchos actores y actrices de Hollywood hablan diferentes idiomas porque tienen orígenes diversos. Estrellas1 hispanas populares como Penélope Cruz y Javier Bardem hablan inglés y español, porque son españoles y trabajan2 en los Estados Unidos.


      Otras tienen habilidad para aprender idiomas: Jodie Foster habla francés y Gwyneth Paltrow habla español.

      Algunos3 profesionales del cine son totalmente bilingües por el origen de sus familias. La actriz y productora de cine Sandra Bullock habla muy bien alemán. ¿Por qué? Porque su mamá es una cantante de ópera alemana.

      Y algunos tienen orígenes diversos y habilidad para aprender idiomas. Natalie Portman habla cinco idiomas: sus lenguas maternas4 son el inglés y el hebreo, pero también habla español, alemán y japonés.

      El actor estadounidense Viggo Mortensen habla inglés y danés, porque su papá es de Dinamarca. También habla perfectamente francés y español, porque vive en Barcelona. Y habla un poco de italiano, noruego, sueco y catalán.
