Claire Danes' Son Speaks a Little German

Such a great actress. Love her on "Homeland" !! She kills it at being Carrie

[anastasia]

I love both Claire and Hugh! They are great!!

[mayrag]

I love how down to earth is she's always herself 💖

[thorstenfricke]

i just saw Homeland! All actors are amazing. Claire is so great

[benj]

It's kind of sad to see the comment section. I, like Claire, have a very hyperactive disposition. I can not help it, it's just the way I am. So to everyone saying she's annoying and should tone it down, well that might not be in her control. Cut her some slack.

As a native german speaker it's an absolute pain in the ass hearing claire prouncing german words :D. Almost all americans speeking German on TV sound like a screaming nazi or at least a rude person- i guess they do it on purpose, don't they?

It's so nice to see the real Claire Danes happy and healthy with a wonderful family so I can remind my subconscious that Homeland / Carrie Mattheson isn't real.

[msrainbowbrite]

i cant imagine why her and leo didnt get along lol

[LordShvttle]

Warum denken Amis dass die deutsche Sprache so schwer und außergewöhnlich ist?

[TheOriginalOneBehnzoE]

Claire Dane is an phenomenal actress love the series homeland 1 of my favoites

[SneakySteevy]

Fallen is the perfect name for him.

I love Claire.

Would be funny if he did the whole saying every kid learns in kindergarten.

"Piep piep piep, wir hab'n uns alle lieb, und wünschen einen Guten Appetit. Jeder ißt soviel er kann, nur nicht seinen Nebenmann. Hat er sie dann doch gefressen, Zähne putzen nicht vergessen. Guten Appetit, haut rein."

In English: piep, piep, piep, we all love each other and wish everybody "Enjoy Your Meal". Everybody eats as much as he can, but not his neighbor. In case he did, don't forget to brush your teeth. Enjoy Your Meal, tuck in.

:D That sounds so strange, when translated to English.

Don't get why people don't like Claire Danes, i think she's adorable! Love her!

[AnnaBePunkt]

I don’t get why Americans alway shout German words so harshly in talk shows. This wasn’t supposed to be comedy, so why do that? Maybe the words are more harsh than english words but you don’t have to accentuate that, you can just say the words.

[katharina]

I love it when english speaking people speak german 😂😂
Btw there are so many german words used in english and i feel so excited everytime i see one 😂😂

[TheRealBit]

Yes, Jimmy, we want to hear even more baby stories from celebrity guests and you after hearing the same stories all over again for the fiftieth time. Seeing annoying baby pictures on facebook isn't enough, late night entertainment has to be full of it too apparently

[Artsaveslives]

Daang people really dont like her. Maybe she Spoke like that cause she was nervous

[Lynxchillin]

She sounds like Ronda Rousey when you just listen.

[AvidEric]

Her "German voice" sounds horrible!

[Jonny]

OMG it’s so cute!!!🤩😍 I’m from Germany and it’s so crazy!!!
