Celebrities sharing the same heritage:
I always found it hilarious how Slater didn’t know that he was Mexican (or at least embraced his Mexican side) until the college years. Then again, A.C. Slater was originally meant to be an Italian character so the writers never really changed his ethnicity for awhile.
Anyway, Mario Lopez is beautiful and has the cutest dimples!
Why the heck does everyones keep saying ” he’s mexican, I would’ve never guessed.” What’s the big surprise?? He’s mexican and gorgeous!!! There are plenty of good looking mexican guys…
Omg he’s Mexican who would have known but idc he’s sexy as hell!!!!
I knew he was Mexican! I was arguing with my mom about this because she thought he was Puerto Rican…
Jeeze, ppl! It is SO obvious Mario Lopez is Mexican! I guess I can tell b/c I’m a Latina! But really ppl have no clue.
He looks a little like MMA fighter Diego Sanchez.
