He looks Mestizo
He’s not. He was born in Spain. A european country, Not inhabited by native indans. He’s European.
no he doesnt…just because someone has heavy eyelids doesnt mean they look mestizo he look full european
When Antonio left Europe to go to work in USA, he took the habit of sun tanning the skin. So it seems at times not white .But is European Spanish hundred percent.
Tanned or not, he is white.

hes pale
Oh my, I never really found him THAT attractive, but he’s SO HOT in the second pic with that beard and gelled hair. Lighter skin suits him, somehow too. He should stick with that look. :)
And yes, he just tans easily. His complexion is no darker than Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean). He is naturally light.
