Jimmy Page

[Electronic God-Man]

I thought he always looked normal back in the day. Now of course he looks part Asian...

Here is a clip of him when he was much younger. Plus, it's just really cool to watch him play at that age. Wait for his little interview at the end.

his mother's background is Irish, and his father English.

English actor Dudley Sutton...

It seems to me that the older he gets, the more Irish he looks.

That's exactly it. Irish aging is quite peculiar and striking.
It's happening with my mother, who's only 1/4 Irish. More and more like some Agnes or Bernardette every year, much to her chagrin!

Genfluss explained it best.

I can't remember if his mother or father had some Chinese or Japanese ancestry, looks quite apparent. Some sort of Sinid/Keltid/Faelid mix I suppose.

Come now, Tref! This look is very common.

See our Manchester's Terry Christian for another extreme variant:



Striking, but fully Irish;

My personal novice opinion? I would like to see some evidence supporting the suggested Chinese ancestry. He could very well be, but there are also logical arguments supporting his Irish ancestry.

Until then, the jury is out.

Who really gives a shit is he is part Chinese? He's still mostly British/Irish.

Fuck it, I say. Dude's a stellar musician.

And I HATE Led Zep!

I know this thread is quite old but I just want to confirm that Jimmy Page has no Asian ancestry. His ancestry is English and Irish. His Irish ancestry is from his mother Patricia Gaffikin.

I think he looks a lot like Irish guitar legend Rory Gallagher. They could be brothers.

[Vesuvian Sky]

When he was younger he looked somewhat Mediteranid or dark Irish.

Now he looks kinda Alpnid.

One of my fav guitar players though, still got my Les Paul after all these years and a copy of Houses of the Holy.

He's an amazing musician. I love Led Zeppelin. There are no Rock Gods like Jimmy anymore.
