One of the founding members of the iconic band KISS, Gene Simmons was born in a Hungarian Jewish family. His father Ferenc Witz and his mother, Flóra Kovács taught him to speak Hungarian. This video is a proof for this: Gene speaks Hungarian in the first seconds of it and from 3:16.

He even sings in Hungarian with his mother, for example in this video.

Jennifer Garner learned a sentence as well. She says: ‘ez nem lesz probléma, beszélek magyarul’ which means ‘that won’t be a problem, I can speak Hungarian’. Then she adds that her grandparents taught her. We suppose that it is true only for her role. Anyway, her accent is really cute.

Robert Pattinson said ‘köszönöm, hogy csendben voltatok’ to his fans when he was leaving a shooting location in Budapest. His sentence means ‘thank you for being quiet’ and the fans really appreciated it, as you can hear in the following short video.

Sylvester Stallone changes for Hungarian in his 1978 film F. I. S. T. by asking his partner if he speaks Hungarian (‘beszélsz magyarul?’), and the answer is: yes I do, better than English (‘jobban, mint angolul’). In the last seconds of the video, he also says ‘ahogy akarod’ which means ‘as you wish’.

Mariska Hargitay, the Golden Globe winning actress known for example from the series Tequila and Bonetti, Law & Order and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU) can introduce herself in Hungarian and speaks with the Hungarian reporter Tamás Frei by using some Hungarian words in their English dialogue. She must be a really nice lady!

And our favourite: Freddie Mercury sings a Hungarian folk song, Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt with the crowd at Queen’s concert in Budapest, 1986. You can read the English subtitle, but the feeling is more important... you will have goosebumps, as we did, for sure.
