Neither of them are or if they are, they aren't full ethnic french mind you but still.

Gal Gadot. I remembered people thought her surname name was French because they pronounced it with a silent T (Gal Ga-do) as opposed to the Hebrew way with is just Ga-dot.

Adriana Lima (Claims partial French and Swiss which could be French-Swiss but never specified).

Troian Bellisario (she can speak French fluently and though her mom she has Louisiana Creole roots which includes partial French ancestry).

Yes, they can.

Ana and Adriana's sort is fairly common in Northern parts (not sure about Brittany, though).

Also, none have typical French surnames.

Thank you. Do Gal and Troian look too "exotic" as in its obvious that they're ancestry is somewhere else or no?

Not necessarily.

I see Gal's sort populating the Southern parts (coastal cities, but also Corsica).

While Troian could actually pass anywhere, to be honest...

I agree with Gal. As for Troian, I'm no expert on France nor am I french in ancestry but that kind of surprises me. If in theory she claimed to be full French in ancestry I personally would automatically assume she'd be from the South/Coastal areas in the South, but that's likely bias kicking in because I'd say she's Dinarid-Med and I'd imagine that phenotype being more common therre.

I think Adriana Lima and Ana Beatriz Barros don't look very French, but the other two can pass. I am not familar with the French so I may be way off.

Frankly, I'm not sure either. I could have made the same assumption as you, if I didn't see already people like her in the North. She is very alpinized, but all of them are... However, it is because she is more Dinarid than Gal that I would place her also in more Northern and also rural parts of France.

They can pass for sure. Those rugby players from SW France Tooting Carmen posted look more exotic than them tbh and I doubt anyone there questions their Frenchness.
