His parents were born in England, both of them to Italian parents. Luke is pictured with his parents here.
Luke has said:
My dad’s half of the family are all Sicilian, and on my mum’s side I’m Neapolitan, so it’s an interesting mix. I’ve been to Sicily once, and to Naples about five or six times. I’m really proud of my Italian heritage.
Luke’s paternal grandfather’s surname was Pasqualino.
Luke’s paternal grandmother’s surname was Femmenile.
Luke’s maternal grandfather’s surname was Monteforte.
Luke’s maternal grandmother’s surname was Giglio.
I really think his mom lied about his dad’s identity lol. It is true that some (not all, just some) Italins are dark but definitely not that dark. He’s cute, by the way.
Is he considered white in the UK? I think he’s usually cast to play White roles.
Here is his father, second from right:

His Father Look Normal.
what the hell is “normal”
He looks Pakistani.
Since when is P@kistan! offensive? Strange considering how my comment is being moderated because I used that word.
Since my comment is being moderated for whatever reason, I was trying to say he looks P@kistan!
I agree, I thought he was of some kind of Middle Eastern or Southwest Asian admixture. He could definitely pass for one. I first saw him in Skins (UK) and Showtime’s The Borgias.
@Jason. LMFAO IKR? His REAL dad is probably Indian and she had an affair while she was married to his supposedly “Italian” father. I mean it’s very clear he is not just Italian!
I don’t find him attractive at all, I think he’s odd looking.
A lot of Sicilians tend to be dark… it’s like the southern most part of Italy
never seen a Sicilian who looks like him..
I agree….and i am sicilian!
He looks like he could be Indian but I have several Italian friends who are Sicilian and they look just like this, everyone thinks they’re Hispanic or Indian. Also places like Naples and Sicily have heavy North African and Arab influence so that might be it.
sometimes, as in the picture above, he looks more exotic than the most exotic southern italian. This tall guy looks Indian, totally different phenotype from Arab and North Africans. I suspect some South Asian mixing since there’s a large community in Britain.
Luke’s grandparents are all Italian immigrants.

Give me a break.
Why do everyone keep insisting he looks like he has Indian blood? Have you seen Pia Toscano? She’s fully Italian and looks like she has Indian blood, but she doesn’t. In fact, if you look up on the history of Italians, the native Italians actually looked a lot like Luke and Pia.
Never in my life have I seen an Italian that looked Indian. His mother should tell him that his “father” is not really his father.
Everyone on this site says he looks half Indian. Here is the url to that site.

Yes, but each person on that site is dumber than the next (whoops).
Can you please do a page on Phoebe Tonkin? Is she Aborigine?
Oh i am so sorry. I never ment to be rascist, my older friend thought that his surname is spanish. I later rescearched and i foundout that his surname is not spanish-mexican. But i also found out that one of his grandparents were remote spanish. i am sorry if i upset you about this
