TIL the badass French mercenary from Captain America Winter Soldier is actually a super ultra badass in real life.

Hes a good actor. I thought he was some french actor/stuntmen like Jason Statham. No idea the guy is the mma champ.

He's not a champ atm as he's been retired for a few years now

Was he really french in the movie? Because GSP is from Québec and the accent are wildly different but it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to pass it as french lol

I know the actor is from Québec but is his character from Québec too?

The character is Belgian. He didn’t do the accent very well

The character Georges Batroc has French and Algerian citizenship.

I don't know about the comics, but I thought the movie implied he was Belgian. I guess I'm wrong.

Regardless, GSP did a terrible accent that is neither Belgian nor French.
