Crowther was a reporter and news anchor at France 24 in Paris before relocating in 2011 to Washington DC. He often shares videos of his coverage of happenings in the US and across the world in different languages.

The television and radio journalist was born in Luxembourg to a British father and German mother.

Seasoned and versatile journalist

He describes himself as a journalist who handles news in areas of US diplomacy, foreign policy, politics, and current affairs. In 2020, Crowther was caught up in a shootout while doing a live broadcast near George Floyd Square in Minneapolis.

The video from the anniversary of Floyd's death captured the sound of over 30 gunshots as people ran for cover.

"One minute of reporting from George Floyd's funeral in Houston. In this order: German, Spanish, French, English, and Portuguese," he tweeted.

Public reactions

Crowther's multilingualism left many in awe, with many praising his unrivalled ability to master so many languages fluently. Most of the viewers admitted that they were not even aware that there is a language called Luxembourgish.

"As a person who can barely speak my own language, this is very impressive," one of them commented.

"Oh my God is this man married?? If he's not where can I submit my application?" said a female admirer.

"This guy is probably some kind of part-time super spy and you're just brilliant," a third one indicated.

One even joked that the journalist should be eligible for six paychecks given that he does the work of six people at the same time.

The child prodigy also learned to count up to 40 in Japanese in less than 24 hours. His 30-year-old mom, Jazelle, from South West London, told the Mirror that he was able to grasp new information easily from the age of five months.

She recalls her son watching a phonic video on her phone on YouTube:

''He scrolled to the videos at the bottom and clicked on a Japanese numeracy video,'' she said.

The London-based early childhood education teacher disclosed that he listened to it once, became fixated, and asked to watch it again.
