Hey guys!

Hope everyone is doing well today.

Here are four French celebrities with foreign ancestry. Can you classify them and guess what their origins are? (No googling!)

If you already know them please do not spoil the fun for every one :)

Number 1

Gianni Giardinelli French actor of "Italian origins". I'm not sure he even has French ancestry

I know, 3 of them are 50% French (one French parent + one foreign one) and the last could be of fully foreign ancestry

Three of them are 50% French for sure, the first one is always referred to as being of (enter nationality here) origins but I do not know if he has any French blood. His name is entirely foreign
