Black Irish

[Kazuma]

danny o'donoghue looks sicilian... maybe he could pass in other regions but I can distinguish him as an average sicilian. Are you sure about his origins?
Cheryl Cole is partly gypsi right? anyway she could pass in italy
Farrell looks iberian
the Coors remember me a polish family
the Gallagher brothers looks quite pan european in my opinion, my first guess could be germany/france or even italy
C.Z. Jones has some slavic/eastern vibes (from Poland to Bulgaria)
Butler and Tom seems central european

Black?

Cheryl Cole before plastic surgery:




No way she is "Irish & English".

C.Z.Jones from Wiki "Catherine Zeta-Jones was born in Swansea, Wales, on 25 September 1969, to Patricia (née Fair), a seamstress, and David James Jones, a sweet factory owner.[2][3] Her father is of Welsh descent, while her mother is of Welsh and Irish ancestry.[4] Catherine's middle name, Zeta, came from her Greek immigrant grandmother,[5] who was named after a boat seen in Swansea Harbour.

Simon Cowell is of Jewish descent.

Some more examples:

Roy Keane - Irish









I think he could easily pass as being Croatian or Greek.

George Best - Irish





I think George could've passed as Spanish or Italian.

Robbie Williams - English







Robbie looks like he could pass for being a southern Italian.

Frank Lampard - English





I think he could pass as being Croatian, Greek or Italian.

Vinnie Jones - Welsh & English









He looks as though he could pass as being Italian, Russian or Croatian.

Those dark British Islanders are chosen for exotic historical roles it seems. Like Alexander the Great and Attila the Hun.

"Black Irish", who coined that term? Sounds stupid.

It's a very old term.

The myth is they're descended from the Spanish Armada sailors after their defeat in 1588, who were considered "black" eg Moors.

Cheryl Cole: Irish & English:

Catherine and Cheryl could pass in Greece, they are the beautiful version of a very common type among us
