View Full Version : Christopher Lee

Classify one of my favorite actors, Christopher Lee. His ancestry is quite interesting. He appears to be somewhere around 1/4 to 1/8 Italian, through his mother Estelle Marie, the Contessa of Sarzano. The rest appears to be British of some sort. He's quite a tall man at 6'5" (195.6 cm) and is very progressive. Were he lighter, I've no doubt he'd be classified as Nordid, but given his pigmentation, I'm curious to see where you folks place him.

My Grandad was a dear ringer for Christopher Lee - to me at any rate.

Atlanto-Mediterranean with a touch of Anglo-Saxon, simply favoring the height and head length.

On the last picture I think he has some affinities with elderly Portuguese... like António de Oliveira Salazar.

Yes, his mother was of Italian ancestry.

He really rather reminds me of Roy Scheider in this shot.

In fact their profiles seem similar as well. Scheider's mother was black Irish, his father was of German descent, apparently.

Being from Western Europe pretty much means you're a descendant of Charlemagne.

If he's Atlanto-Med/Dinarid, could he be considered Baskid?

No. Baskid is supposed to be different phenotype. It's characterized by low (as opposite to Dinarid type), long crania, triangular face and beaky nose. It takes its name from ethnic Basque group albeit this type is also found among French or Spanish people.

Atlanto-Med.
This thread is full of misinformation. He is a pure Dinaric.

Looks strongly Parsi zoroastrian. I've seen a lot of them who resemble Christopher. Atlanto-Med with Dinarid seems correct.
