The true anglosaxons looked like this not like nordics

No, these phenotypes generally represent pre-Anglo-Saxon Paleo-types.

Yes, mostly different pre-Indoeuropean neolithic waves from the North-Atlantic-Mediterranean region.

Exactly.

Anglo Saxons were tall blond light haired people with blue eyes they typically looked Nordic like Keltic or Anglo-Saxon a subtype. Anglo Saxon is just term a cultural one dealing mostly with White American/Canadians of British origins regardless of their ethnic makeup. The people posted don't look Anglo at all.

Looks typically Norman not Anglo-Saxon (I think you're associating Anglo-Norman Aristocrats with Anglo-Saxons).

Sean Bean is often given as an archetypical Anglo-Saxon type



Both Normans and Anglo-Saxons have a similar ethnic makeup anyway (mainly Danish).

Normans are much more nordic looking than the guy I posted, they should be pretty extreme types. This guy is super germanic, very saxon, not so much nordic. If you look at some pics of people in nw german areas many are close to him.

Danes have a lot of other influences that are nothing like saxon, they are really a lot different and much less distinct - more mixed. Sean Bean could pass as Danish but he is not by any means the most saxon looking guy around.

Guys he posted are also all saxonlike except maybe second one, he just chose ones with darker features. They are all germanic, you don't have a butt chin if you are not. Clooney has a bit of paleo irish basquelike input but not that strongly. People judge way too much on coloring when this can change in one generation very easily.

Since about half of English DNA corresponds with modern German and Danish DNA then we have no reason to suppose that the AngloSaxons looked any different to modern NW Germans:



Or at least to 1980s Germans

True, but some Germans are Germanized Baltic people like the Prussians.

They are pretty anglo saxon but a lot has happened to damp it down. Some of the older dudes in NW germany are even more obvious examples.

Normans aren't mainly Danish. True story.

Normans should be more like northumbria types, lots of tronders and other pure scando types.

Viking + Frank = Norman

The Franks, like other West Germanic tribes, is thought to have descended from Denmark

Obviously there was some Gaulish and Breton admixture too. Vikings were Norwegian/Danish.

The founder of Viking rule in Normandy was Rollo

Rollo was a powerful Viking leader of contested origin. Dudo of Saint-Quentin, in his De moribus et actis primorum Normannorum ducum,[3] tells of a powerful Danish nobleman at loggerheads with the king of Denmark, who had two sons, Gurim and Rollo; upon his death, Rollo was expelled and Gurim killed. William of Jumièges also mentions Rollo's prehistory in his Gesta Normannorum Ducum, but states that he came from the Danish town of Fakse.

So both the Franks and Normans ultimately descend mainly from Danes.

As do the Anglo-Saxons themselves
