To go through the incredibly complex upbringing of Mortensen’s childhood is something we’re not doing, but what you need to know is that Mortensen speaks more than a few languages due to moving around the world.

Mortensen fluently speaks English, Spanish, Danish, and French. Additionally, he’s proficient in Catalan, Swedish, Italian and Norwegian. Even more impressive is that Mortensen is an avid writer of poetry, AND writes his poems in English, Danish, and Spanish. He’s even claimed in some interviews that Spanish is a more comfortable language for him to “express himself.”
