  2. alexgxo says:

    Handsome imo. I always thought his ancestry came from the north or was part german or British isles. I was right on the latter.

    • Trollshunter says:

      You always thought like brainwashed people then. Italy is not what is depicted in Hollywood and this guy can easily pass as fully Italian.

      • alexgxo says:

        I know that, there are tons of people listed in this site who are of Italian ethnicity and have blue eyes and so on. I just assumed that he was your typical American of British Isles/Northwestern European background. Obviously I was wrong.

  3. Blackbuddafly says:

    He has an “italian shape to his face” what is this cope here? I knew this guy wasn’t fully Italian almost right away. Italians usually have gracile features not robust. Guys who look like him in Italy are very rare. Italy is not THAT diverse as claimed. The majority of Italians are mediterranean.

    Don’t get confused by Italy’s celebrities. Italy uses similar tactics as Latin American nations. The whitest looking individuals are often chose as fashion models and soap stars, but don’t be fooled more Italians look like Ariana Grande and her brother type than they do this guy. I WISH most of them looked like him, but they don’t. They’re usually short, small framed and gracile.

    • Blackbuddafly says:

      Adding to that, people who look like him are more likely to be found up in Northern Italy aka the not so mediterranean area as he can easily fit in Germany, France or the British Isles more than he could most of Italy.

      Ariana Grande looks Mexican as you said, her HALF-brother is more passable as Italian. About “Don’t get confused by Italy’s celebrities. Italy uses similar tactics as Latin American nations. The whitest looking individuals are often chose as fashion models and soap stars”, Europe is NOT South America, that’s complete bulls**t. Btw David Giuntoli looks like: http://ethnicelebs.com/roberto-bolle

    • Trollshunter says:

      Ehy idiot troll, someone already told you that Italy is not S.America and not even Hollywood. The majority of Italians don’t look lika Ariana Grande at all and are not gracile Meds. Most Italians could easily fit in France. You are probably a multisocks idiot and spread idiocies that anyone with an IQ of 30 could easily debunk just by looking at an Italian team or our politicians. Giuntoli is also quite typica from the regions he partly comes from, Tuscany.

    • NOTREALLY says:

      damn this is some of the most tinfoil conspiracy theories I’ve read in a while
      “Italy uses similar tactics as Latin American nations. The whitest looking individuals are often chose as fashion models and soap stars”
      LMAO
      yeah man, there’s a whole plot to make a perfectly white country look….whiter
      Jesus Christ, it literally takes 2 google searches to see how the Italian populus looks like.
