Do you think British Actress Amelia Warner and Ukrainian Actress Mila Kunis Would Pass in Spain??

[alnortedelsur]

I consider that the next two beauties would be, pigmentation-wise, very average in Spain and Portugal. They have about the same pigmentation as the Spaniard actress from my avatar, which is, in turn, a very average Spaniard.

That's the reason why I chose them, because their degree of pigmentation would be about the same as the average pigmentation for Spain and Portugal.

Of course, I don't negate that there are many Iberians who look like Antonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz and Rafael Nadal, AND there are also many blonde and/or blue eyed Iberians.

However, both cases are extreme segments of the Iberian phenotypic spectrum.

Average Spaniards (and Portuguese) are pale-skinned brunettes like the next two beauties:

British Actress Amelia Warner:




Ukrainian Actress Mila Kunis:





And for the records, I am not picking any Scandinavian looking famous women. I just selected two very regular pale-skinned brunettes with a very "mainstream European" look. So, any comment suggesting that "we pretend to look like vikings" would be completely out of place.

Kunis is ethnically Jewish which explains why she'd pass in the Mediterranean, no problem. The other one would fit too.

[GrebluBro]

both easily

Amelia Warner yes. Mila Kunis looks clearly Eastern European, so no.

Mila Kunis looks like a dark Ukrainian or Bulgarian.

Although I agree with most of what you said, I have to point out that Mila Kunis Jewish ancestry is NOT the reason why she can pass in Spain.

Despite her Jewish origin, she doesn't look MENA, east-med or anything like that. She looks very mainstream European, up to the point that she can pass NOT only in countries like Spain and Portugal, but also in Central, Eastern and Northern Europe.

Take Amelia Warner as an example. She is a Northwestern European brunette with NO Jewish ancestry. And she looks, pigmentation-wise, like Mila Kunis.

I know she looks Eastern European. I am just talking about pigmentation.

And YES, Amelia Warner would have more chances than Mila Kunis to be mistaken for a Spaniard, since British Islanders are very more close, genetically, to Iberians than Ukrainians.

Yes that's quite possible, although I do think Mila Kunis has a very Near Eastern-influenced eye colour of a shade which I've only seen in Bulgarians or exotic Ukrainians. I don't believe she can pass outside of the Balkans or Ukraine/South Russia.

Hazel is the second most common eye color in the world.

Hazel is the second most common eye color in the world.

And all hazel eyes are of the same shade?
