What would you guess Penelope Cruz as if you didn't know?

[Sikeliot]

I've always wondered what people would guess.

[Rouxinol]

Looks like a very gracilized standard Mediterranid, or in other words, a pure Mediterranid with none to very low Cro-Magnid admixture, so a rarity as compared to other types. I'd guess her as either being from Spain or Portugal or Italy most likely, although she does not account to the most common or standard phenotypes of the Iberian peninsula, which tend to be less gracile and often have Cro-Magnid and other influences such as from the Atlantic Façade spectrum.

I ask because many on anthropology forums state that she looks atypical for a Spanish person.

Is she Gypsy?

Well, I don't think she looks "that" atypical when she's not overproduced but nor a typical one at all either from my knowledge, but I am not from there... To me she just looks as another type that occurs sporadically in the place she is from and I mean the whole Iberian peninsula, I could see her pass here as well, her lips would be a bit different though.

P.S. - Her eyes also give her a more eastern Mediterranid vibe.

Lebanese, she looks like a Lebanese friend of mine.

[arcticwolf]

I find her sexy, there is something about her. To me she looks Spanish, but I have no idea what typical Spaniards look like, never seen one IRL.

[StonyArabia]

Lebanese, Jordanian or Palestinian.

[Siberyak]

Many people in the usa thinks she is Mexican.

[Kalimtari]

Italian, no doubt
