I had no idea she could speak German. She sounds more respectable in German. Maybe because she has the tendency to sound like a ditz in English. biggrin Or, perhaps she sounds like a ditz in German too? My german skills are far too crude to tell. biggrin She's adorable though.

I remember reading somewhere that one side of her family is from Germany. It's no coincidence either that she wore Lederhosen in "Miss Congeniality".

Yeah, I remember I was very much surprised when I saw that video a couple of years ago. Apparently she grew up in Germany and held both US and German citizenship until she was 18.

Yes, and Mila Kunis speaks Russian.

What's funny is this thread is in CH right next to Rick's "your biggest disappointments" thread, and I thought that appropos.

Yup, just like that basketball player who was married to Eva Longoria and was cheating on her.

I always felt she was daft for choosing him in the first place.

Charlize Theron is South African I think. No idea if she speaks Afrikaans, but I think she might...I think I read somewhere English is her second language. Wiki to the rescue!

Quote:
Although fluent in English, her first language is Afrikaans.She grew up on her parents' farm in Benoni, near Johannesburg. Her father died on 21 June 1991, after he was shot by Theron's mother. Theron's father, an alcoholic, physically attacked her mother and threatened both women while drunk. The shooting was legally adjudged to have been self-defence and her mother faced no charges.



Sigourney Weaver, an American born in New York, had a significant speaking role speaking French the whole time:

Her French was good enough I thought maybe she was originally from there, but I think it's more likely she learned the language from family or in prep school.

Gerard Depardieu's native language is French. I find that to be pretty shocking.

I rememeber reading that she smuggles sausage from Germany for a special holiday meal.

(So many comments on that one and so little time)

Karl Malden made fun of his nose before he died, even.

Agreed.
The outcome is hardly a shocker. Many women are stupid enough to choose the bad boy and then they're shocked when he doesn't change.
Still, he's the bigger idiot. Not only a hot wife but his meal ticket.LOL

Lol i guess you will speak the language of the country you live in, sooner or later ?
Ms. Bullock is living in Wildeshausen, Germany, since quite some time.

Huh, I had no idea about that. She probably didn't want to live in Hollyweird.

Re: Sandra Bullock - 01/12/12 02:36 PM

Ah sorry, was wrong:

Since january 2012 she now wants to sell her villa in Wildeshausen. She is 31 now and, after her divorce from Terenzi, now lives with her manager Florian Fischer in Berlin "Grunewald" (green forest).
There goes my dream (lol)

Huh? She's nowhere near 31 years old now. She's over 40! Where did you get that information?

Re: Sandra Bullock - 01/12/12 03:42 PM

You are right, forget all i wrote, she was born 1964

Lol i typed Sandra Bulllock and Google came up with Sarah Connor (why ?) - Connor's the one in Wildeshausen, now Berlin. Ahem.

"Sandra Annette Bullock was born in Arlington, Virginia, the daughter of Helga D. Meyer (1942–2000), a German opera singer and voice teacher, and John W. Bullock (born 1925), a voice coach and executive from Alabama. Bullock's maternal grandfather was a rocket scientist from Nuremberg, Germany. Bullock lived in Fürth until age twelve, where she sang in the opera's children's choir at the Staatstheater Nürnberg. Bullock announced on April 28, 2010, that she had proceeded with plans to adopt a baby boy born in New Orleans."

So she lived in Fuerth, Germany, and sure knows the language from that time -
Oops.

Maybe from that time. The place is confirmed as well though Fuerth and its surrounding come up with a "Franconian accent" (mostly ignoring all "hard" letters and rolling the "R" similarly to the Scots). The region offers the most distinctive densitiy of traditional beer breweries in whole Europe beercheers . Not necessary if all our girls would look like this Missus. She's lucky having missed the local accent though: she's clearly understandable. biggrin

Btw, did you know that 92% of Germans originate from parents who are professional rocket scientists? WinkNGrin

That explains the Blitz. biggrin

BTW, did she pronounce hundefriseur wrong? it sounded like she added an extra syllable.

She's absolutely correct. thumbsup She uses the original female ending of hundefriseur (...frisör) which is hundefriseuse (...frisöse) - the last "...se" being a full syllable.

It derives from the French designation. In Germany the French "coiffeur" is not in use for humans while ironically the French equivalent treating dogs "friseur" is where we go to get our hair cut.

Modern ending (since about 15 years) is "..frisörin". Woof!

I find it so hard to accept that she is 47. She looks fantastic.

Re: Sandra Bullock - 01/13/12 01:30 PM

I believe it. I would not believe it if you said she was 27 or 67, though.

She's most definately NOT German.

She's all American - just first generation (as am I).

Jodie Foster speaks French WITHOUT any accents... I was speechless the first time I heard her in a French interview.
Posted By: purolator

Re: Sandra Bullock - 01/13/12 09:33 PM

I knew she could speak German, but never expected it to be that good! Her German is on extremely lose native proficiency level here and definitely better than the German I know from some natives.

She definitely sounds south-German, Franconian could fit very well. I only noted two very minor mistakes concerning articles, and that is something which is ectremely difficult anyway.
