Could Sakis Rouvas pass as a dark Pole?

[Sikeliot]

Yes or no?

If someone told me he was Polish I wouldn't question it, but I'd like others' opinions. He is on the lighter end of the Greek spectrum. When I posted him last time some people thought he looked Italian.

More Spanish or Italian than Polish.

He looks off, my answer is no.

Where would he pass besides Greece?

[Faklon]

Passes better in the Ionian and Adriatic coasts imo.

[Roy]

Where would he pass besides Greece?

Italy, but he looks very Greek in my opinion.

[Sikeliot]

Italy, but he looks very Greek in my opinion.

People said in another thread he looks Venetian.

[Mans not hot]

Nope.

[Sikeliot]

Nope.

Where does he pass besides Greece?

Italy.

[Sikeliot]

Everyone seems to think that, so I'll just accept it I guess. :lol:

[Queen B]

He is not on the lighter spectrum of Greeks :picard2:
He just have lighter eyes.Nothing more.

His eyeshape is typical Greek (big-almond eyes), his nose is the uber-typical hooky Greek nose, and he is relatively short. He is super typical Ionian , actually.

[La Misse]

I don't know if he could pass in Poland but he looks Italian. btw nice voice and he dance really well

[Ianus]

He doesn't look Poland. Why now do you have the obsession to slavicize Greeks?

[Hellenas]

He doesn't look Poland. Why now do you have the obsession to slavicize Greeks?

Because he is part Polish/Slav himself. Sakis Rouvas is from Corfu Island, Slavs never went there by the way. Why always a Greek with light eyes must be a non-Greek is something I don't get it, like there were no light eyed ancient Greeks. According to this logic Cretans must be half Venetians as well.

[JeanBaMac]

He could pass as an eastern Slav rather than a Pole. He looks like Belarusian singer Dimitry Koldun.
Eastern Meds/Pontids are more common in Southern Russia, Belarus and Ukraine than in Poland.

[Sikeliot]

Because he is part Polish/Slav himself.

Yes.
People tell me that it's not just my Sicilian side that makes me look Greek (my dad looks more Cypriot or Jew than he looks Greek), but that I am both part Sicilian and part Polish combined that does it.
