Could Penelope Cruz pass in the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, and Levant?

[Sikeliot]

She is a classic Gracile Med type, and in many photos she actually does look very Arab, similar to many women Nabatea1 posts.

I know some people will get angry at this thread but to be honest if you showed me her and said she was from Saudi Arabia and she had a hijab on, I'd believe it. She is also similar to Queen Rania of Jordan.

[Tooting Carmen]

Maybe, but not necessarily the most typical face.

[Antimage]

sorry for off topic, but

is she really part cuban or something? somewhere I read that one of her parents come from latin america

[Sikeliot]

Maybe, but not necessarily the most typical face.

I'm trying to demonstrate that Gracile Med and Arabid are similar, the latter being a tropically adapted version of the former. I think if you take Cruz as a prototypical Gracile Med, you can see how this is true.

If you want to open this thread at least use her photos without makeup:

Even without makeup she still can pass in my opinion. Makeup can't make someone look a whole other ethnicity.. and the first photo she doesn't have makeup.

[Ibericus]

Nope. She doesn't.

[StonyArabia]

Yes she can pass in Iraq and Arabia she would not even bat an eye.

She doesn't pass at all, she looks quite Western Mediterranean. You just say this because you are biased by her ethnicity and the makeup.

Arabid is a tropically adapted West Med.

[ius semper]

I think that she could pass as levantine, but anyway, she wouldn't represent the typical levantine face as she doesn't represent either the typical iberian/spaniard face; in general spaniards are less tanned (IN GENERAL) and more altlantides.

[Hadouken]

no

the thing is : she is spanish so she can not pass and if she was Syrian but looked exactly as she does now she magically wouldnt pass as spanish

[Empecinado]

Arabid is a tropically adapted West Med.

Since when Arabia has tropical climate? Only Oman does.

is she 100% spaniard? Somewhere I read that she has 1 latin american parent

[ius semper]

Don't really know about if she's 100% spaniard, but I'm 100% from the ancient aragonese crown (old kingdom located in eastern spain) and that's for sure and I've light brown hair, pale skin and fair brown eyes. So, as I said some day, she could be perfectly 100% spaniard because there's not a standard looking for us.

[Trogdor]

I don't know. Maybe she could. But without makeup she looks a bit different. Just saying.

[Bloodsport]

Not at all.

MAYBE Lebanon because they have pan-Med types.

[Balder]

...

Make up does make her look MENA shifted even more imho.

[Empecinado]

Only a blind would find her without makeup as Arabid looking:

Her sister, Monica, has a higher chance but only in Lebanon.

(if you can find no-makeup pics please do).

[King Solomon]

She can pass in Lebanon, Israel, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, Armenia, Kurdistan, Assyria,and North Africa, Palestine. Can't see her in the Arabian peninsula.btw that's WITH makeup, without I dunno

[Roy]

I've seen many Iberian women which looked identical to Penelope Cruz. She's probably typical for darker spectrum of Spaniards.

Her skin could pass as dark spaniard, but not her face ( look at her nose ,looks 100% levantine)

[Smeagol]

Arabid is a tropically adapted West Med.

Not tropically adapted, but they are desert-adapted Meds, yes.

[Ctwentysevenj]

Probably could pass in the Levant.

[dawson]

The Queen of Jordan had plastic surgery. Cruz also claims gypsy heritage (not confirmed). Looks like another troll thread..

She pass better in Iberia imho... look meds.

[StonyArabia]

She can pass in most of the Mideast and Arabid included no one would think she is different for example, most would assume she is a local anyways. Now if she was a tall blond or redhead she would stick out and she is not.

[Jerban]

Seriously I don't think she passes in Arabia, her facial features are similar to Spanish girls I know. And from the pictures without make-up she looks like à regular Spaniard.

[Antimage]

First of all, she's atypical for Iberia. Second, she's not even dark. I don't understand the people that say she's dark, and the people that say there are many spanish women that look like her, her face is not common in spain.

[Smaug]

maybe it's an overstatement but i do really think she's far from being a common looking spaniard

She is very pretty even without makeup.

Yeah she looks very MENA. I personally never considered her to be particulary attractive.

I am not an anthro expert but by observation I find Penelope's ratio features not to be average. Her nose is not typical, despite of the fact that Spaniards tend to have big noses. Her mouth shape and the mouth-nose ratio is not very typical, rather quite distinctively individual. In terms of colouring and pigmentation, she is perfectly Spanish average though.

[wvwvw]

She passes better in Portugal than Spain. I always forget she is Spaniard

how can an hungarian know if she's "atypical"? talk about hungarians

Sikeliot is not happy if South Euro can't fit in Mena countries, that's his goal. Dangerous trolling

Bump

[ius semper]

Yes she can as she has muslim blood ( I think its her grandfather maybe)

[MinervaItalica]

Yes.

[JMack]

Yes. Passes unnoticed in all these places.

[FilhoV]

She is a Gracile Mediterranean and is very similar to myself I am Portuguese but unfortunately for Gracile Meds we have become this stigma for "woggienes" examples like Cruz, Xavi etc

Gracile Meds are common in Iberia not as common as Atlanto-Meds but we are widely represented.

Arabid types on average are desert adapted Gracile Mediterranids but there features are different

Cruz is pan-Mediterranean only "Arab" countries she passes is the Levant and genetically speaking people from that part of the world like Lebanon are overwhelmingly Mediterranean to begin with

She looks perfectly Iberian

What people fail to realize is that there is only one Mediterranean race and the Gracile Mediterranean is the Proto-Mediterranean

Look at the most Mediterranean place in the world's in Sardinia genetically speaking they are all majority wise gracile Med with some CM

[Odin]

Si.

[jmls]

Yes, she can. Just like any Gracile Med.

[Bigsaul]

On cherrypicked pictures yes, but on neutral pictures she looks district South European. The furthest east she can pass is Cyprus.

[RenaRyuguu]

I think in India more so she's fun like these songs


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBAj4nbdLEU

Even Mortimer said she was his own.

[Rocinante]

Maybe as a christian lebanese

[Zroota]

She can. Don't see why she won't.

[hecate]

i think she can at least in the levant

[chociprasa]

Yes.

Levant

[21993]

Gracile Med. I think she can pass in Levant and Northern Iraq but cannot pass as Gulf Arabian or Yemeni.

[Tietar]

pass the part of her gypsy legacy

Gracile Med. I think she can pass in Levant and Northern Iraq but cannot pass as Gulf Arabian or Yemeni.

Agreed.

[Corporate_Demolisher]

Not in Arabian Peninsula but definitely in the Levant.

[FinalFlash]

I see her passing in Iran the most.

[Voskos]

Palestinian Arab or Jewish.

[Eline_Shamoun]

Who wants to pass in the Levant anyway? Maybe when our GDP Per Capita gets above six digits, she'd like it. This won't happen anytime soon. There's wars, terrorism, bombs, etc., thanks to the pedophile religion of peace. Honestly, I think we should just completely ban Islam in our country and make an alliance with the United States and Israel.

To answer your question, yes she passes all over the Middle East, but I see her passing best as Armenian.

[Sasaolo68]

She can pass in Lebanon easily
