Actually, earlier yesterday he was interviewed on Univision in Spanish and his Spanish is shaky. Selena GOMEZ barely speaks any Spanish at all and J.Lo (and Marc Anthony) are also in the shaky category. The original namesake Selena (the subject of the movie, the one shot dead) also was shaky in Spanish.

Two hilarious movie scenes:

from (Born in East L.A.?) : Cheech riffs, "Mexican Americans!1 We've come a long way!1 We go to college now. We major in SPANISH. ----------------- And get B(s)!1"

from Selena: Selena's father is dishing advice to the band member young dudes: "We (Mexican-Americans) have it rough!1 The Mexicans in Mexico hate us over there, the (gringos?) hate us over here!1 We have to know who Vicente FERNANDEZ is over there and who Frank SINATRA is over here!1 And who (Cuban talkshow host) Cristina is and who Oprah is!1"
