She might seem a citizen of Spain or Italy than in France. She is a Mediterranean beauty anyway.
She’s Auvergnat, not Mediterranean. Having dark hair doesn`t make someone Mediterranean. All Auvergnats have dark hair but not all Auvergnats have Greek, Roman or Iberian ancestry. The Auvergnats are mostly a dark-haired Celtic people.
Audrey looks “exotic” like Catherine Zeta-Jones or Cheryl Cole.
This is a darker picture of her. She does have light olive skin, but looks very white.
@mandini76, Also can be Puerto Rican, Mexican, other hispanic (whom many are 1/4 Africans typically). If thats what some consider “white” in Europe ,thats a very broad scale. In the American South she would be heavily discriminated against
LOL.
@mandini76 , looks very North African. In America she would be judged as a non white for sure. Looks creole, French and African.
She kind of looks like a “whiter” version of Halle Berry.
Many French look like this. France is bordered by Spain and Italy, and many French people have ancestors from here, as well as Greece.
@mandini76 , Ive been around many greeks and Italians, this woman looks more ethnic than any Greek or Italian ive ever met in America. She could even be mixed Brazilian black/white like Sonia Braga

Ok. To be fair I googled more pics of her. When she is light er, yes she looks more Southern European and or French like, I agree. Ethnic celebs just put a darker picture of her.
