Obviusly, the italian side did not came out strong in his appearance. He looks classic anglo-american/WASP.
Looool he’s atypical Anglo-murican wasp he’s white Portuguese, white Spaniard and white Southern Italian of Northern Spaniard root.
He looks Southern Italian.

Dude, no idea how you can come out with such weird comments.
whats weird about my comment lol just giving my perspective based on personal reasearch and experience just like pretty much everyone here… to me he really does not look italian at all his facial features and hair colour(light brown) and texture are all more common in NW Europe not SW , many of you guys buy that Taylor lautner and Johnny Depp are nearly full NW Euros despite the fact that they look way ”darker” than Adam, and dont even get me started on Alicia Vinkander and Simon Bird… Its really not that absurd saying what i said when you look what the many british/irish/german/dutch/french american actors with the same physical characteristics of him
You’re the master of trolls here mr clown!
Light brown hair and light brown eyes are common in all Europe, me a native Italian living in Italy I repeat he looks for sure a Southern of real ancient Northern Spaniard root, in fact he looks a white Northern Spaniard and white Portuguese too I saw many Spaniards and Portuguese tourists in my country I met a Spaniard guy who is his doppelgänger.
Depp, Lautner are clearly Native Americans Lautner is partly Spanish too for us Euros they’re not like us due to their features and color, Vikander and Bird are Arabs. Nationalies don’t make races.
To make it clear, French aren’t Northern Europeans but Central Europeans like Germans, Swiss, Austrians.
He looks to me like an American of undefinied background. To say he is classic anglo-american/WASP sounds a bit ridiculous. He does not strikes me as Italian (if such thing even exists given the heterogenous looks you find) but I can see a vibe in him (his hair colour is not unusual at all too).
@jonas
nah he looks Italian

A te Lundman ti fa una —–, vero?
E allora fai una cosa, riscrivi te l’antropologia (la biologia che tiri in ballo sempre è altra roba) che Lundman o Coon (da Harvard…non istruito vero?) erano dei fessi. Intanto usa la punteggiatura che è dura stare dietro alla ——– che scrivi. Se Scott è Berid e Hopkins è Dinarid, allora la terra è piatta davvero.
Saluti.
His mom was Austrian in “Krampus” and he was French in “Hellraiser – Bloodline.”
I like this brown eyes. Handsome.
Mary Hervey was Scottish.
