He is half Portuguese (mother), and almost half British with some distant German (father). Some pics of him:

Do you think he looks more Portuguese, British, or more like an even mix of both? discuss...

Neither. He looks more eastern European.

I can see some Portuguese influence but more British imo.

He gets more of his looks from his father, he had an almost Lappid phenotype. I also agree with Shelati, kind gives an Eastern Euro vibe.

In between. Looks more French than anything else.

That's his father???? He looks very Eurasian. Very odd look for a western European. :confused:

No kidding just yesterday I was watching a movie he starred and I said to my husband that he reminds me so much of my uncle (italian + iberian mix) and wondered how could that be possible. I didn't know he was half portuguese, now the resemblance makes sense.

Which means... more white American looking than white Brazilian, his vibe is not the most common around here.

I was not even aware that he's half-Portuguese. Actually he has a very British look to him.

No, not really. He looks British.

IMO he looks rather Portuguese ( or pan-Iberian )

So, voted 2nd option


P.S. Great Actor BTW

Just because he has blue eyes? I could easily see him passing in both Portugal and Brazil.
I actually know a White Brazilian of Iberian descent who looks quite similar to him!

Nothing to do with his eye colour, but the vibe.

He could pass as white Brazilian, but he gives more of an American vibe to me.

His mother is of Portuguese descent only, she looked quite British or French as well

I can definitely see the Iberian in him.
He absolutely wouldn't look off in Portugal although he's on the lighter side.

i think he looks North Italian- he has this Alpine facial feature with a small Med head

He has a South European hair color.

to me he looks absolutely nothing Eastern European and looks very Anglo, actually rather specifically British

I have been to Venice and the people had long faces on average and were not Alpine at all

It depends on the region. My friend's dad is from Trentino and has strong Tom Hanks vibes. There are many Alpine people in his family too. I think Venice would be a little different given its location and proximity to the Adriatic Sea.
