    why won’t he admit that he has some english or something background as well?? he is HALF italian from her mother, being her surname salvatore, but his surname Henrie (which I can’t find anybody else with that surname) has to be english, scottish or something

  2. Smilelikeanidiot101 says:

    He definitley has another Europian background, scottish, irish or maybe not even European. He definitley is part Italian, but something else too.. Henrie is not an italian surname.

    I think he’s kind of ashamed of being American. He’s always bragging about being Italian and everything, but he’s only half italian, he definately has to have irish ancestry? probably? scottish perhaps. Henrie is not an italian surname

    He has to have another European ancestry because his surname is not Italian.
