Are Irish and British distinguishable?

[Bigsaul]

Is there any British who can't pass for Irish and vica versa?
Does someone like Colin Farell pass in Britain?

[Engliñol]

If we can fake the accents then we can fool each other into passing as a native in one another's countries. There are however some stereotypical "looks" associated with the different constituent countries and regions of the UK.

Colin Farrell could pass as British, Kit Harrington, David Tennant, Tom Jones, Pollyanna MacIntosh, David Mitchell, and even I don't look too out of place.

Colin has a Scottish vibe.

There are some distinctive types. For example, Jonathan Sexton looks very distinctly Irish:


And Mary Berry looks very distinctly English:


But for the most part, the peoples of the British Isles are very similar to one another.

Can often tell if they are group photos. Irish often have Broader more robust but softer fleshier faces. With Longer Philtrums (gap between nose and mouth), Shorter broader noses. Slightly bigger ears. Hair is slightly more curly, much more redheads and slightly more people with black hair. Skin in also more Rufous.

Genetic distance is very small but so is the English-Dutch distance and you can usually distinguish. However I doubt you can any more as so many British people are off partial Irish descent.

See inside for some examples

Spoiler!

Luke and Pat McCormack look extremely Irish even though I think they are half English




Their English teammate Callum French (blonde one) also looks quite Irish but passes as typical in both




Jamie Vardy Is a good example of someone who looks more English than Irish but wouldn't look strange in Ireland


Charles Dance (Lannister) looks extremely English but not at all Irish

True Mary Berry looks a lot like my grandma who’s also English would you say she looks more Anglo-Saxon/Germanic?

Very much so. It is a look I particularly associate with upper-middle class English people, and tbh she'd look rather atypical features-wise even in Wales or Ireland (probably passes more easily in Scotland though).

Clearly Germanic input but also possibly higher neolithic, its probably similar to some looks you get in Belgium, West Germany, South Dutch, NE France. Although there are plenty of Keltic Nordids in Denmark.

There is variety in all populations and not all Irish people look a particular way and English also have a variety of looks.

I can do tons of these links. I don't know if you can tell apart an Irish crowd from an English crowd though.

Would you say she’s Phenotypically Hallstatt or Anglo-Saxon ? I’d also assume she passes all over Scandinavia right?
