Jamie Lee Curtis and Mariska Hargitay Debate How to Pronounce Los Angeles

Leave it to two Hollywood legends to spark a debate over something as simple as a city name.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Mariska Hargitay recently sat down for a conversation and found themselves in a surprisingly passionate discussion about the correct way to pronounce Los Angeles.

For most people, the city’s name begins with a sound that rhymes with “Boss.” However, Curtis revealed she pronounces it differently, saying it in a way that rhymes more closely with “Gross.”

Hargitay immediately challenged the pronunciation, leading to a playful back-and-forth that quickly became one of the most memorable moments of the interview.

While neither actress appeared genuinely upset, neither was willing to completely back down from her position.

The exchange has sparked discussion online, with fans weighing in on regional accents, family traditions, and whether there is really only one correct way to pronounce place names.

The debate may never be settled, but it certainly provided viewers with a funny reminder that even Hollywood stars argue about the little things.

And now the question becomes: How do you say Los Angeles?
