I honestly pegged him for multilingual. His pronunciations in English come across as very French to me, and being a Francophone gives you that rolled 'R' sound that makes Spanish sound legit. Just my theory lmao

@@GuitarQueero1 I don't know where you know French from but the rolled R isn't characteristic of French speakers, it is a characteristic of Italian and Spanish speakers that's true but the French can't roll an R to save their life lol.

@@GuitarQueero1 that's why I said I don't know where you knew French from cause here in France I promise you people can't roll Rs at all it's crazy, maybe it's part of the reason you guys have a better accent in English than we do
