Bradley Cooper: more Irish or South Italian?

[Sikeliot]

Father is Irish, mother is Italian American of Campanian background.

To me he looks just Irish.

Irish.

I think he may have Jewish ancestry way back.

[Sikeliot]

I think he may have Jewish ancestry way back.

Why?

[SkyBurn]

He looks North Italian IMO

[YeshAtid]

Nah, southern italians look similar

[Sikeliot]

He looks North Italian IMO

Many times, Irish/Italian mixes come out looking French.

I don't think he looks fully either but I would more quickly guess Irish than Italian, based on what Italian Americans look like.

For the record his mother's side is half from Campania and half from Abruzzo. So they're not like, Sicilian or Calabrese or anything.

[Amun]

Irish without doubt

[singular]

Keltic Nordid more than the rest, especially around the eyes and nose. Looks a bit like Bear Grylls.

[Driven Mind]

Jewish vibe indeed

[Sikeliot]

Where are people seeing the Jewish look? It must be something from his Italian side but still he looks North European to me.

[Útrám]

More Irish. But he has the air of an upper class WASP, that'd be my first guess right away.

[ABest]

I'd say he has elements from both of his ancestries, but if I had to guess between the two I'd say Irish.

[Roy]

He also look like Ralph Fiennes (eyes the most)

[Sikeliot]

I'd say he looks both Irish and Southern Italian, but if I had to guess between the two I'd say Irish.

Irish and southern Italian don't look alike.. unless you mean you see elements of both.

Maybe his eyes could give off a mild "Jewish vibe". I'm not talking about the eye color but about the eye shape and the eye area in general.

But really, he doesn't look Jewish.

[ABest]

Yes, that's what I meant. I think he looks Northern Euro mostly but with some Southern Euro characteristics.

[Sikeliot]

I don't actually see anything Southern European in him at all. He could very well be Keltic Nordid and fully Irish to me.

But he couldn't be full southern Italian.

Bear Grylls looks like Totti, not like Bradley. They are both Norid IMO.

Cooper looks a lot like this Campanian soccer player.

[HillY35]

The Jewishness expresses itself in the nose, and kind of generally all over in a minor way. It is, as somebody said in this thread, something of a "vibe." Furthermore, I see something of a self-loathing element to this person that used to exist, and a bit of cocaine use in his past.
The "WASP" look someone referred to is nothing more than a college education showing itself, probably fraternity-membership too.

[Sikeliot]

^^ That Campanian soccer player can pass in Ireland too.

[Sikeliot]

If he is naturally a redhead like his older pictures appear

http://bp0.blogger.com/_SgD9gx5cBvQ/R_91woi1pLI/AAAAAAAAEes/JOmScQSFiYQ/s400/Bradley_Cooper+20.jpg

then I definitely think he looks North Euro.

[singular]

Bear Grylls looks like Totti because they both have that Dinaric element, but Totti is pred. Noric-CM, and Bear is pred. Dinarophorm Nordid common in Ireland and England. While Bear is dolichocephalic, Totti is obviously not.
