[Rouxinol]

In my opinion, yes.

[Joso]

No.

[JMack]

More as Italian but I guess he can pass in Iberia too.

Italian from the south or north?

[JMack]

Italian from the south or north?

Both. There are some South Italians with Nordocromagnid features.

I don't think a half dane-half north american individual passes very well in any part of southern europe. In any case here is an approximate type from Portugal:

[Latinus]

As atypical maybe.

Viggo Mortensen he interpreted a third Spanish if he was chosen for that must be for something.

Probably because he speaks spanish. Apparently grew up in Argentina.

[Ruggery]

As atypical maybe.
It would be the most logical.

[Smaug]

Not the most typical, in my opinion.

[Ruggery]

Probably because he speaks spanish. Apparently grew up in Argentina.

If he grew up in Argentina until he was 11, he has a very good relationship with that country.
But their appearance for me seems Pan-European at least for Western Europe.

Its appearance is not extremely Nordic or Scandinavian.

[Ruggery]

Not the most typical, in my opinion.

Agree

[Morena]

Barely passes, IMO. He would pass as atypical. It would probably lead to him being featured here in a classification thread.

he loons quiet north italian agree

[Morena]

he loons quiet north italian agree

That's what I always assumed he was. :nod:

[Ruggery]

That's what I always assumed he was. :nod:

North Italian?

[Morena]

North Italian?

yes, growin up I always assumed he was either North Italian or half Italian. I would have never guessed him as Spanish but I wouldn't have a problem with him playing one on TV. There ware more egregious casting sins, like casting Sean Bean as an Italian. >.<

[Deneb]

Yeah, as a tourist.

[Ruggery]

Yeah, as a tourist.

Tourist Scandinavian?

[Deneb]

Tourist Scandinavian?

I think so, isn't he Danish?

[Megamind]

I dont think so but maybe. He looks more N.Italian

Sean Bean It seems more Italian than Viggo.

It's half Danish half British (English)

[Rouxinol]

Yeah, as a tourist.

As a tourist, yes, if he was the typical Scandinavian. But his rough CM features and dark skin let him mingle in with the people and pass more or less unnoticed. Actually, as to skin pigmentation, he might even be darker than many.

In this pic his face is very un-Iberian tbh. Much more passable in Italy than in Iberia imo. But his facial features aren't common anywhere in South Europe.

Most of the ''northern'' influence in Iberia is Atlantic-like and he has a very un-Atlantic face.

[barkoo]

As atypical maybe.

He'd probably be perceived as quite atypical in Italy, over Spain he can easily pass between 2/3 AM with a mask on, and over non lightened desert streets. I think he'd pass as a native that way.

[JohnSmith]

He looks Pan-European.

[Token]

Marginally.

[Knight Slayer]

He looks very Northern European, especially in his jaw. I don't think he passes, typically at least. Bean has an even worse chance of passing, honestly. Both are very Germanic looking although Sean has more unaltered Nordic admixture because of his status as an Anglo-Saxon.

[Ruggery]

He looks Pan-European.

+1

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

He wouldn't be typical.

[Knight Slayer]

0 Mediterranean admixture here.

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

he loons quiet north italian agree

He doesn't tbh. Looks what he is, Scandinavian.

[Knight Slayer]

I can't comment on the country itself but I've never in all my 30 years seen an Italian American who looked like Mortensen or Bean. Those guys just have a unique NW European look that can't be placed anywhere else. I don't think Viggo is pan-European at all. Jaws like that rarely happen anywhere else in Europe but in the North.

[Segred]

He lives in Madrid and I have seen him at the supermarket several times. He could maybe pass as quiiiite atypical, but he’s way hotter than the media in any country, that stands out.

But have you never seen an Italian from Italy like him?

Really?

[Knight Slayer]

Never been to Italy, only seen Italians in pictures or in films, and I've never, ever seen an Italian man who strongly resembled Viggo. Butt chin and all. That's a Slavic trait, actually.

[Segred]

Really?

Yes :) And he maybe could pass a bit more now that he’s older I think. Not at his prime.

I always thought that his nose is quite common here and not in the north either imo.

[Awesomedy]

Viggo Mortensen is a mixture of Keltid + Atlantid + Faelid.

Yet Viggo Mortensen imo is not unpassable imo (unlike some Scandinavian and Baltic/Eastern Euro types), there's a minority with similar looks, only Portuguese examples:

But it's true that jawline is uncommon and combined with lighter pigmentation even less. Most Portuguese light types have a gracile structure.

This chef is pretty much as nordic looking as a Portuguese can look, very rare type, but exists nonetheless:

https://cdn-static.denofgeek.com/sites/denofgeek/files/styles/main_wide/public/4/40/sean_bean.jpg?itok=wB7inwbySean Bean looks quite Anglo-Saxon but you can find North Italians with similar look overall but generally light north Italians look different....let alone average North Italians.

About Viggo, I think he doesn't pass in Iberia, he looks Northern euro imo....

He may not pass but not all Spaniards have med admixture (?)
