More websites that just copy each other. I think this was on the IMDB originally, and from then on it went.
You won’t be able to find an actual article/interview where he mentions it.
True!
Im determined to get to the bottom of this.
go ahead then but more than one site has claimed he is 1/4 asian but if you prove other wise please correct me
this might be because his mother abandoned him when he was 10. there fore he may be reluctant to talk about his mother let alone her heritage
if you can find a better one or can prove me wrong please let me know
Ooooh so he really is 1/4 Asian. Interesting.
