Does Daniel Craig look Baltic to you?

[Richmondbread]

He's a British actor, but somehow he could pass for Lithuania or Estonia or Lativa. The eyes , maybe?

This is his ethicity page. No mention of Balts in there

[Bigsaul]

From a superficial view yes. In reality no.

[Jana]

He looks Polish, Slavic for me. But in terms of classification he is Baltic.

[Mans not hot]

His mummy has been cheated by his daddy from Polish plummber

[Finnish Swede]

He looks Polish, Slavic for me.

... and that's why I never liked him as a 007 / Bond. He could have fitted much better a role of enemy (GRU Spetsnaz, FSB Spetsnaz, Navy Spetsnaz etc.).
.

[gıulıoımpa]

Every time some Bond movie with him is on T.V. my mother starts to talk about how she thinks he is not apt to the role of James bond and not as handsome as Brosnan or Connery or and rather looks like Plumber.

so given this statement I think she unvolontarily associate him with polish plumbers that are very common here, hence why she said that and I kinda agree he looks polish.

Bond should never be a Blonde.

looks 'Celtic' rather than 'Baltic' in my view

If he looks Polish, then he definitely doesn't look Baltic.

I agree. Bond always had clearly defined phenotype in books, and that is classic British North Atlantid (dark haired, blue eyed, pale skinned, just like author Ian Fleming)

My father always said he has face of good looking construction worker, also complained he looks too Slavic for role despite he is English.

[Jana]

Ironically, Croatian actor Goran Višnjić, who is a Slav, would physically fit James Bond role much better than Englishman Daniel Craig did.
He was seriously considered for role, but in the end he was not chosen due to foreign accent.

No he wouldn't . He looks more Slavic , IMO. Craig looks Baltic. Even though Craig is not Baltic or Slavic at all. He is mostly British and distant French.

[michal3141]

From a superficial view yes. In reality no.

True. Definitely not a typical Baltic - too much of Celtic/Germanic influence.

[Jana]

Craig looks more Slavic than Višnjić does, in terms of phenotype.

[Corded]

Looks russian to me

[Ayetooey]

He does, defo not typical here. And never made sense as Bond; he's too miserable, and too light haired. Bond should always be dark haired.

[Tenma de Pegasus]

I agree

Spetsnaz is not Polish though. And the real-life prototype of James Bond was a soldier in the Polish Army in 1920:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/jamesbond/9560403/Historian-reveals-the-Second-World-War-hero-who-inspired-the-creation-of-James-Bond.html

Quote: "In 1920, after volunteering to serve with the Polish army (...)"

[TheMaestro]

Dont worry bois, Bond will be black in 2025. In 2030 he will be gay, and 2040 trans.

[Peterski]

This is the real-life person who inspired the writer of James Bond novels:

https://secure.i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02348/Yeo-Thomas_2348127b.jpg

Craig looks similar to this real-life prototype. But not to the comic painting.

[Satem]

Inshallah

[Richmondbread]

It's height bigotry. They can't accept Daniel Craig who is a normal height at 5'10 to play Bond. Bothh Connery and that other bad actor guy were over 6 ft.

[Peterski]

He looks like Vladimir Putin, very Russian.

[Richmondbread]

He looks like Vladimir Putin, very Russian.

Yes, that's it. Russian. Def. not Baltic at all.

[Ülev]

:picard2:

[Peterski]

Yes, that's it. Russian. Def. not Baltic at all.

BOTH - Russian and Baltic, they look similar.

Also every Russian can pass in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Kaliningrad Oblast because this whole area has large ethnic Russian minorities.

[Ülev]

Baltic, Russian... he looks Kazakh!

[FountainOfSalmacis]

Yes, that's it. Russian. Def. not Baltic at all.

Isn't Putin baltid?

[Peterski]

Baltic, Russian... he looks Kazakh!

Every Russian can pass in Kazakhstan, Alaska, Siberia, Latvia, Kaliningrad, etc.

All of these are Russian colonies or former colonies.

[Richmondbread]

Slavs and Baltic peoples are nothing alike.

[Mans not hot]

Slavs and Baltic peoples are nothing alike.
Oh ok

[Peterski]

Slavs and Baltic peoples are nothing alike.

Riga, the capital of Latvia, is a majority Slavic city:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riga

"According to the 2017 data, ethnic Latvians made up 44.03% of the population of Riga, while ethnic Russians formed 37.88%, Belarusians 3.72%, Ukrainians 3.66%, Poles 1.83% and other ethnicities 8.10%."

Every Russian can pass in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania because these countries have huge ethnically Russian communities.

[Ayetooey]

Slavs and Baltic peoples are nothing alike.

True; Balts are more asiatic.

[Cumansky]

No, he look French

[Jana]

Slavs and Baltic peoples are nothing alike.

Balts and northeast Slavs are very, very close to each other.

[Mans not hot]

No, he look French
Fam, I can smell the vodka on his breath while he's going to sklep to get some Pierogi and Smetana for hangover cure.

Richie you have no clue in phenotypes and regions :D

[michal3141]

Balts and northeast Slavs are very, very close to each other.

True. Balto-Slavs and Balts are very similar. Basically children of Corded Ware -> North-East Upper Paleolithic.

[Papastratosels26]

Yes.

[FinalFlash]

Pierce Brosnan>>


And yes, Craig looks like he fits better as some type of Slav than a typical Brit.

[Richmondbread]

No, Slavs are darker and more ethnic looking.

[Richmondbread]

I'm usually pretty good at this. I can spot a slav from a mile away.

[TheMaestro]

You cant unfortunatelly, your only knowledge about those people are from movies like Air Force 1. And saying if its Russian therefore Baltic has nothing to do with him, is like saying he is a woman because he has balls and a dick.

[TheMaestro]

No, Slavs are darker and more ethnic looking.

There are 360 milions of Slavs wordwide and atleast half of them have light features, thats what youve said is false again.

[Voskos]

No.

[Zroota]

He definitely does look very Baltic. This is a Celtic look IMO:

Craig would stand out if he were standing with the above men. He looks very eastern European, like Russian or Polish:

https://www.indiewire.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/daniel-craig.jpg?w=692

[Laag]

Looks Polish

[michal3141]

No, Slavs are darker and more ethnic looking.

Slavs are diverse. Many different phenotypes.
Some are lighter, some are darker.
There are many Baltic looking Slavs.

[Insuperable]

No, Slavs are darker and more ethnic looking.

Yeah, dark and potato looking yourself.

[Richmondbread]

Yeah, dark and potato looking yourself.

I have a Germanic build.

[Mans not hot]

I have a Germanic build.
You look like a Jew.

[Richmondbread]

You look like a Jew.

If a Jew didn't look like a real Jew, perhaps.

[Mans not hot]

If a Jew didn't look like a real Jew, perhaps.
Ok, jew.

[tipirneni]

Closer to some russian kind like Oleg Vidov

[Anglo-Celtic]

He looks Slavic. He looks like a villain from an old James Bond movie.

[chociprasa]

Borreby skull with Kelto-Brünn elements, put him on face match sites and he will match with Kevin McKidd (who can pass for a robust Nordo-Baltid in some pics but is mainly Trønder). People also said that it could be Dinaric that gives him the Slav vibe but there are types other than Taurids that can have triangled faces, overall local Celtic elements dominates.

Estonians are not Balts.

Slavs are darker


Russians are blonder than Lithuanians.

Any other Slavic nation - Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians, - darker by a tiny margin.

Poles and Lithuanians look more or less the same.

Both brachycephalic Balto-Gorid potato heads.

Craig has some Baltid...
He is Nordid-Mediterranid-Balto-Alpinid.
