Jodie Foster should be number 1 on this list! I am French, I can testify that she’s the only one here being fluent and with zero accent 🎉

Molly Ringwald is fluent in French. Like Jodie Foster, Ringwald studied French at Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles. In the mid-1990s, Ringwald moved to France and appeared in a few French-speaking movies. Ringwald was briefly married to a French writer, Valéry Lameignère, from 1999 to 2002.

It’s good but not epic. Lots of people do that.

[@lucienoon7262]

@@HarFin123 what's not so epic about it also is that her french is basic/broken, I really don't get the zealousness of people wanting to add to the number of languages they speak at any level, I don't know about other ones but her french is riddled with mistakes and with very basic phrasing at that-

[@lamome07]

Jodie Foster should have been #1 on this list by far, her French is absolutely flawless!

[@willpower2565]

4:14 hang on, she said "chocolatine"???!!! In the south it's okay to say it, but in Paris or in the north of France, it's "pain au chocolat". Point Barre. I don't want a debate, it's been like this for ages and it will stay the same as we says it in our regions.

[@trinaq]

It's neat that two sixths of the Friends stars are actually fluent in French, with Matt definitely being better than Joey! 😂

[@ashleydowney1222]

It makes sense that Matt LeBlanc speaks French. His last name literally means the white.

[@bennymora3086]

It's ironic that Cameron from "10 Things" is infamously awful at French, when Joseph Gordon Levitt is fluent, even studying French poetry at university.

[@BigMacOsaurusRex]

Whatever they said, French sounds lovely to my ears.

[@jpjunk4789]

Jodie Foster has absolutely no french accent. Flawless french.

[@joguestin]

Jane Fonda speaks even better French than Timothée Chalamet. Audrey Hepburn speaks like Chalamet, maybe better (Chalamet just nails the accent). Jodie Foster and Diane Krüger are the best on this list! The others are complete jokes, but an e for effort

[@TheNameCannotBeFound]

6:00 Timothée Chalamet switching from French to English sounds like a lot of conversations here in Montréal, Canada. It's Frenglish all around, we switch between both languages like they're simply one language sometimes. I'll never get tired of it, it's so unique. Like a union between two worlds.

[@buggyimpact]

[@leonigama5597]

good job about doing Celebrites You Didn't Know Speak French from Top 10

[@larnacoeur3391]

Aren't you forgetting actors like John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons or Johnny Depp? Sportsmen like the cyclist Lance Armstrong or the tour de France winner Greg Lemond,

[@lucienoon7262]

Certain ones should be left out - sauf Jodie Foster, Timothée Chalamet & Diane Kruger - if you speak broken and/or basic French only (substitute any other language as people have a strong tendency to include any language as one of their spoken ones at that level these days) with a very strong accent, is that really speaking the language (I love Bradley Cooper, but saying he 'mastered' French would be a gross overestimation - well, while still being a lot better than most others on the list)?

[@iscovsmart7339]

Jodie Foster 1, Diane Kruger 2. Hugh Grant 3...

[@charlotter7261]

Kristin Scott Thomas

[@philippedombinou8589]

Yes , she speaks very well with a light charming english accent.

Including actors kirk Douglas , Anthony Quinn who spoke french quite fluently.

[@kracao]

[@AngelaGyetvan1]

You left out Lisa Kudrow and, surprisingly, Matt LeBlanc - which made his “can’t speak French” on Friends all the funnier.

[@obnoxiousoboe]

Robert Downey Jr. also knows at least quite a bit of French. He needed to learn it for some of his lines in the first two Sherlock Holmes movies.

[@lindildeev5721]

He just learnt a few sentences in French. I saw his French scenes and his accent was awful. He almost sounded like a German.

[@lauraramsey9000]

I saw on a podcast this week that the actor who plays Benedict in Bridgerton grew up in France and is fully bilingual.

[@tiphainemartin3811]

Thank you so much for this lovely pic ! A French 🙂

[@NoosaHeads]

Totally agree that Jodie Foster's French was as good as I've ever heard. I'd have to give Diane Kruger and Audrey Hepburn very honourable mentions. I wasn't impressed with Bradley Cooper's French. I'd call it serviceable -ie, good, but nowhere near accentless.

[@marvelfan8996]

Joddie Foster and Audrey Hepburn have excellent accent for an American!

[@andreabarrios5249]

Audrey Hepburn was not American, she was actually born in Brussels, Belgium. Her mother was Dutch and her father was British, so she grew up Belgium (where she learned French), then she studied in the UK and then moved to the Netherlands. Besides her native Dutch and English, she spoke French, German, Italian and Spanish 😉

In Canada, it is a requirement to have french classes in school. In the USA, i think its Spanish

[@ClassixMedia]

Two years of any language was required at my US high school and then if you wanted to continue thereafter it was an elective. And yes, I took Spanish but I stopped after two because I was just that bad at it. I wish there were subtitles so I could figure out what everyone was saying.
