None of them can pass in Southern Europe. Their facial features are 100% North-West European.

[Avgvstvs]

Why him more than the others?First of all, they all look Northern and nobody would guess them as Southern euros BUT since the thread is about choosing.... I'd say Charlie Hunnam could maybe pass as very odd Italian or Spaniard.... Maybe he's the one who isn't properly 100% unable to pass as atypical. According to my own experience, light Italians and light Iberians still look different than him.

And do any of the actors pass as Greek?:)

[Bougnader]

None of them

[Tooting Carmen]

Just to point out (if needs be so) that, while they are certainly lighter-than-average, they're still a lot more common for the British Isles than are darker types such as Aidan Turner, Kit Harrington, Rowan Atkinson etc.

No, almost all of them are Keltic Nordid & Brunn therefore they only pass wherever there are Anglo populations.

Yes, inasmuch as one can even generalise about these things at all, the average Brit would be something like Jeremy Kyle, Hugh Grant or Jude Law.

Sean Bean, Simon Pegg and Kris Marshall could reasonably pass in Spain, Italy and Balkans.Yes, some strong Alpine types might resemble Simon Pegg, without the British Isles vibe.... I've seen some italians who kinda resemble him, way less British looking of course.

Charlie Hunnam has a Med characteristic and perhaps might pass in Spain.

Sean Bean can pass in North Italy or the Balkans. I've seen that look in the Mediterranean and as well as in Turkey.

Do you think any of them pass easily as White Latin Americans? I'm on holiday in Miami atm, and not even the celebrities on Univision and Telemundo look like that.

Why not? they have soft/fleshy features and could reasonably pass as light southern Europeans or white Latin Americans.

I have natural middle brown hair, and I’ve been to England quite a few times. Most people I saw were more dark blonde, or light brown at most, but I guess that also depends on how you define the hair color spectrum.

None of them. Sean Bean may pass in Northern Italy, Basque region or Balkans, but that's all.

[Duffmannn]

In the North of Italy it is possible to find people of Germanic aspect and aspects near the north.

People from Alto Adige-Süd Tirol are germanic themselves, so it´s logical they have a germanic aspect.

[Duffmannn]

Well, they can pass in a very strict and unusual way.

There are even Nordic Spaniards-Italians-Greeks. I know people of Nordic aspect from Cadiz, a boy from Sicily, other from Abruzzi, and a greek boy from Epirus; referring about the southernmost points of mediterranean Europe. But they less than 1% of the population, they don´t fit so much in their villages. They have nicknames as "El guiri" o "Il biondo", for example.

I´m referring only about extremely Nordic looking people, not about blondes-redheads of mediterranean aspect.

Personally I think they don´t fit in most southern Europe except in the most northernmost places as Northeast Italy (Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, Friuli), Val d´Aosta, Asturias, Galicia or Minho; and they even would fit as atypical in those places, except Trentino-Alto Adige that is a germanic region proper, not a mediterranean one.

[Tietar]

None of them. Sean Bean may pass in Northern Italy, Basque region or Balkans, but that's all.

Basque region is not mediterranean Europe, look for a map

5 and 6 (Laurence and Charlie) could pass at least as uncommon here.
Others are very atypical / rare to be honest, except Sean, who could pass in some little towns innter the country which have an important % of volgian-german descendants (although he is british, I perceive some german vibe in him), and Paul who could may be pass among some welsh descendants in Patagonia, but in the cities, included the capital in a crowd they look very rare and probably people think that they are foreigners for sure.

Lombardy is also a region of Italy with Germanic influence.

I dont know your opinion you, but I think Paul would pass better as a descendant of Germans or even Scandinavians in Argentina than Welsh-Argentinan.
I imagine the Argentinian Welsh with aspects similar to this one.

For Greece, none or extremely atypical. And it's not about hair and eye colour. If it was only about hair and eye colour, they would pass, yes. But exclusively for features, no, they don't at all.

We're not talking about hair and eye colour. Light-eyed and light-haired individuals amongst Greeks aren't rare at all or exotic at the least. They are ridiculously common considering southern Europe. But these particular individuals have features that are outlandish. At best atypical.
