Can Tuomas Holopainen pass in southern Europe?

[Regnera]

I think he looks a bit S.Euro in some photos.

I'm basically Southern European genetically (I have a Tyrolean/Trentino great-grandad tho) and our pigmentation and overall type is similar. He could easily pass imo.

Seen him twice..... If he passes, he does as atypical. There's a Venetian guy I know similar to him somehow

Looks nordic, of the baltid variety, to my eyes.

What's weird on that?

He is Finn/Finnic ... one with long & dark hair (plus has dyed his hair even bit darker)

Eastern Finn from here.

Oh, sorry. I like their music too (symphony metal). Have seem them several times.

Holopainen is quite interesting person ... still living in country side (middle of nowhere) ... likes J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy books, likes Donald Duck stories etc. :)


Do you like these?

As atypical maybe, but I really think the pigmentation throws things off here. If he had blonde hair and blue eyes, nobody would even think about placing him outside of the Nordic countries.

I'm not a classification expert, but to me he looks more Nordocromagnid (Nordo-Borreby maybe?) than East Baltid. Holopainen has softer features even though the face shape is comparatively robust - not sure what I'd class him as, but I'd definitely place him in the Northern half of Europe over the Southern half.

[Laag]

Definitely no. He looks very Scandinavian.
