Would Keira Knightley pass as German or Iberian better?

[Sikeliot]

How typical would she be in each place?

Isn't she English? She would fit in England perfectly as brown eyes/hair are actually rather common there.

[rich86]

Iberian....I thought she had delicate Iberian features before I knew that she stated that her dark Scottish looks come from Spaniards of the Spanish Armada.

[Sikeliot]

She's English. But I think that the English looks tend to go in 2 directions.. Germanic looking, or Iberian looking. So I wanted to know which direction she falls in.

The common roots between Iberians and British people go back way further than the Spanish Armada.

[poiuytrewq0987]

OK, my princess. :D

Then it is Iberia, definitely as she'd look rather exotic in Germany.

I know but in an interview she stated that her looks specifically come from Iberians of the Spanish Armada.

I don't know how credible this source is, but it gives reference to it

Maybe she just doesn't know history very well ;)

Picture of her brother

[Sikeliot]

He could be Spanish or Portuguese easily.

[rich86]

I'd love to see Keira Knightley with a tan, but she's so beautiful pale that I couldn't ask her to change anything.

[aherne]

Iberian. She resembles Natalie Portman...

[Óttar]

:confused: Do you perhaps mean the ancient mediterranid strain common along the European coastline both insular and continental? I don't think there is proof that Spanish from the Armada settled anywhere in the British Isles. That is purely folk-mythology.

[rich86]

Supposedly those were her claims. She could have been trying to romanticize her ancestry by claiming to be descended from Spanish warriors of the Armada. This also might be a complete rumor for all we know. :lol: Unfortunately I have not found the interview in which she stated this and I doubt I ever will. :(

[Iron Will]

She looks Keltic-Mediterranid but I assume because she is from England people think she must be Anglo-Saxon, not true. Her Scottish features are quite embolden to me.

[Agrippa]

She could pass in both areas without sticking out too much, but definitely "better" in Iberia, since she should still look "somewhat" more exotic in Germany with that typical Western-Atlantic look.

[Winterwolf]

Voted neither. She doesn't have "typical" German looks, allthough brunettes are quite common in Germany, too, but for a typical Iberian she's too pale. She simply looks British to me. ;)

Anyway she's a true beauty!
The second pic with the dyed hairs looks bad; she's overwhelming with her natural brunette hair in the last pic.

[alzo zero]

She looks English.

[Comte Arnau]

Her face is very Iberian.

Her body, not so much.

[Rouxinol]

With makeup making her look tanned:

http://www.gossipgirlz.de/wp-content/keira_knightley_atonement.jpg

She would fit as Atlanto-Mediterranid.

Anyway, I think se pass well both in the Iberian peninsula as well as in where she comes from.

[Äike]

She looks more British than anything else. She's 1/4 Welsh, but that doesn't make her Iberian.

She wouldn't look like a native in Iberia, she would have better chances in Germany.

[Comte Arnau]

She wouldn't look like a native in Iberia,

Lol.

Obviously you mostly likely have never been to any of those places. :lol:

[The Journeyman]

Iberian fosho

[Rosenrot]

This guy would be exotic in german ;)

She's beautifull. And I guess she look more English then anything.

[Lábaru]

She is too white to be Iberian, I've never seen a white woman in Spain, in iberia all women are black olive skin, definitely can not be a descendant of one of the warriors afroiberos of the Spanish Armada.

[Äike]

Lol.


Obviously you mostly likely have never been to any of those places. :lol:

She looks British, now do the Western European British look more similar to the Central-European Germans than to the Southern-European Iberians?

[Comte Arnau]

Actually, Keira looks more Iberian than Catherine Zeta Jones, who is always given as a typical example of Iberian-looking Brit, I don't know why.

[Curtis24]

The "Spanish Armada" thing is myth...

[Comte Arnau]

Nobody says she doesn't look British. But saying she wouldn't pass as a native Iberian just reveals the fact you've never been here.

[Alvarado]

Iberian....I thought she had delicate Iberian features before I knew that she stated that her dark Scottish looks come from Spaniards of the Spanish Armada.

This is ridiculous, I still prefer the tales about Spaniards "negrifying" the gene pool of blond Guanches.

[Lábaru]

Sometimes you amaze me talking with logic and reason, agree, Catherine Zeta Jones does not seem Iberian.

I have seen more Spaniards(Catalans) than you think.

Catherine Zeta Jones is half-Italian...

[Jack B]

Yes a lot of people are quick to lump any Brit/Irish with a tan as some kind of Iberian (especially on the net) but I agree that many individuals like CZJ and Colin Farrell just look like darker Isles types most of all.

[Lábaru]

The "Spanish Armada" thing is myth...

Not a myth, we went to fuck and rape heretics women , not to conquer, 70% of the English have Iberian genes according to genetic analysis, primarily due to the sexual potency of our brave warriors of our Armada. Sean Connery, Zeta Jones and Mr.Bean son our black descendants.

[Treffie]

Catherine Zeta Jones is half-Italian...

Half Welsh - half Irish

[Ibericus]

Catherine Zeta Jones is half-Italian...
That's another myth, like the spanish armada one. CZJ is pure Welsh.

[Comte Arnau]

In fact, I've noticed that 'Brit swarthies' tend to have much more delicate features than Iberians, to a point that it's that delicacy which makes the difference. That's why something in CZJ, or Orlando Bloom, or Beckinsale... makes you think they are not Iberian. It's probably a personal appreciation, though. Not saying there are not delicate features in Iberia, tons of übergracile too, but... look different.

I actually always thought Orlando Bloom would look very typical for Spain, but otherwise I agree with you.

[antonio]

No wonder Bloom or KZJ would not pass well as Iberians, taking into account a trained eye is able to distinguish, to a certain extent, swarthy or fair people from different areas of Iberia.

Ps. Once at Faculty I tried to prove this point but I failed miserabely: my mates tested me with a motorcycle magazine including a list of young bikers and many of them were Catalonians, so I got screwed by the massive inmigration on Catalonia at mid XXth. :cool:

[Arthur Scharrenhans]

Catherine Zeta Jones is half-Italian...

No, she's not, as already pointed out. She could pass for Italian but I won't say she's got the most typical Italian look.

As for Keira Knightley, more Iberian than German, probably.

[Albion]

She's English. But I think that the English looks tend to go in 2 directions.. Germanic looking, or Iberian looking. So I wanted to know which direction she falls in.



The common roots between Iberians and British people go back way further than the Spanish Armada.

Yes, that's right. She has more of a Celtic (aka Iberian) look rather than Germanic I think.

[Arne]

I would like to have her stay here.
http://musicalroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Keira-Knightley.jpg
Could fit more in Romanic Influenced parts in Switzerland.

[Kosovo je Sjrbia]

she seems a very light Portuguese woman.

British Islanders are more robust than Iberians. The Paleo-Atlantid share some similarities with the Afalou race of North Africa.

Cut the bullshit, you don't know anything about English looks.

[awyr dywyll]

Iberian.She's half Welsh btw

[awyr dywyll]

She is too white to be Iberian, I've never seen a white woman in Spain, in iberia all women are black olive skin,
All black-olive skin? Ruth Beitia looks even more depigmented than Keira

[Ulla]

Much more Iberia than Germany.

[spanish catalan]

she is alpine then it is easy to spend it in france and northern iberian peninsula

[Armand_Duval]

In my opinion she could pass as an admixture of both, as an in between.

[JeanBaMac]

She looks more Atlantid than Alpinid.

[JeanBaMac]

She's mostly Atlantid/Paleo-Atlantid.
She can fit in Southern Germany, Austria or Switzerland, rather than in Northern Germany.

[aimar]

germany.
she has sickly pale skin.

[Volscian]

Germany and France
