Christopher has stated:

…My father emigrated from Norway back in the ’50s. So he’s a Norwegian lad and I still have all sorts of wonderful family in Norway. I went to university in Oslo and learned the language. So I have a rusty, rusty Norwegian that I get to exercise on a regular basis with my dear father. Most of our conversations are in Norwegian. And then when I speak with my family in Norway, it’s almost always in Norwegian as well, so.
