Marvin Jones flexed his impressive bilingual skills by doing an entire live interview in Spanish

Being interviewed by someone is hard. You’re being put on the spot — especially in sports. The questions you get asked are immediately following some sort of action and you have to answer on the fly. That can be a difficult thing to do.

Now think about what it’s like to do it in another language entirely. That has to be tough, right?

Not for Marvin Jones it isn’t. Following the Lions season-opening win against the Chiefs on Thursday night, the wideout actually did an entire interview in Spanish after the game.

Yes, seriously. The whole thing. And he was really good at it, too. It was so cool to watch.

Initially, this might actually catch you off guard. What is Marvin Jones doing speaking Spanish this fluently? It’s super cool, but also kind of surprising.

It shouldn’t be, though. Jones has actually been putting in the work on his Spanish for a while. Back in 2016 in an interview with MLive, Jones talked about how he was teaching himself Spanish and brushing up on what he learned in high school.

 “I took Spanish for two years in high school, and it’s just something that is very useful, especially in today’s time. There’s a lot of Latin people in this (country), and they’re growing at a rapid rate and stuff. I grew up around a lot of Latinos and stuff like that, so just to know a language — just to know a language so that when I come across somebody who speaks Spanish, I can directly connect with them. And that’s pretty cool, you know what I’m saying? It’s pretty cool to learn another language, and I want to travel and go to other places where I can conversate with the locals.”

It looks like all of that hard work paid off. Everyone was so impressed by this.
