    Light-haired Turks tend have an ambiguos look, in my opinion.



    First guy looks like a vaguely-admixed Latin American, second guy is quite pan-Euro.

    It is true that Americans and Australians have distinctive looks to one another.
    Out of these the ones who could pass as typical “Anglo Americans” would be:

    Lincoln Lewis, Debra Lawrence, Zima Anderson, Kyal Marsh, Nell Feeney, James Spencer (not as typical but still can)

    Probably because Australia is (or rather used to be) a kind of "England overseas", whereas the US is much more of a unique mixture of things.

    That would be a likely explanation. It seems as if American Anglos are mostly Keltic Nordid, I didn’t see as many in your post however Debra Lawrence looks like every Anglo Americans grandmother lol

    A higher number than average in this set don't look especially typical IMO, more like stock actor/model looks or something else, although more regular Aussies would possibly look even more distinct from Americans.

    Quintessential Aussie men. Do they look that un-American?

    That makes sense as American actors are also not a good representation of average Americans lol.

    I’m genuinely curious now though.
    This is my dad when he was younger. He’s mostly Anglo and Irish, would be typical in Australia?
    He has a typical Anglo American look.

    That's principally because Hollywood usually gets its male actors to undergo horrific diet and exercise routines in order to bulk up and strip off. In Britain, however, we don't have anything like this same obsession with muscle, although for sure it is changing.

    No, but I think we've established there are slight perceptible differences, especially in groups. Hunter was more discernably Australian/British to my eyes, and Irwin was a bit odd anyway.

    15 of them looks like regular Scandinavians.

    And there are some people who seriously cry their mother fucking ass about the Germanic admix in English people ?
    Maybe they are just haters who hate Brits and try to messup their heritage or something
