The Top Ten
Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger is an Austrian-American actor, filmmaker, businessman, investor, author, philanthropist, activist, former professional bodybuilder and former politician. Probably the most mispronounced name in celebrity land. I just cannot say it! No problem with saying Arnold ot Arnie but "Schwarz..." whatever it is I can't say it and usually end up saying "Arnie Thingy" or "You know...that big man."
I know how to pronounce it, but I agree.
I'm gonna say the N-word.
DON'T!
Arnold Scwarzenegger.
Phew.
I agree haha

Amanda Michelle Seyfried is an American actress, model, and singer. She has appeared in movies such as Mean Girls, Mamma Mia!, and Les Misérables. Her work on TV includes CSI Las Vegas, Veronica Mars, and As The World Turns. " Say Fried"? " Sey Freed"? What IS it?!
