One of the great myths of anthrofora is the notion that British and French people look almost if not exactly the same as each other. While it is true that most could pass fairly easily in each others' countries, at the same time a significant minority do not.

Tilda Swinton, actress


Lewis Moody, retired rugby player


Some examples of French people who do not easily pass as Brits:

Thomas Hollande, son of ex-President


Celine Dion, Quebecois singer
