Watched it last night, and TGV was as pretentious as always, breaking into Italian interspersed with English, but I still love the guy. 😃

Sandro is an incredible man, what a true classy gentleman.

I don't see being bilingual as pretentious. Especially when the person you are talking with doesn't speak English very well

As a Black Hispanic American I understand that being multi lingual tends to blend languages together subconsciously. It just feels natural. There is nothing "fancy" about Italian it's just another language. No one calls the lady at the nail shop pretentious for speaking Chinese. It's what she knows and how she is comfortable. Besides English is by far the most convoluted language so why not say it another way.

I’m billingual and it’s natural when you’re speaking with someone who speaks the same languages, especially a native-speaker of one of them. Sometimes you switch completely, sometimes you switch back and forth, especially when emphasizing something in either language — I personally wouldn’t call it pretentious, it’s often subconscious.

There's nothing pretentious about switching to another language in the middle of a conversation with someone else who is also fluent or a native speaker of this language, to explain a concept or use a phrase that is better at conveying an idea.

I do this all the time with my mother and she doesn't think that it's weird. I also do that during business meetings that are usually held in English to make sure than everybody understand what's going on. Beside, being able to follow a conversation in multiple languages can be fun sometime.
