He is one of the few Nordic men that I find really beautiful, the average nordic men have effeminate traits and he dont have it.

According to you, now Northern Europeans/Nordics are not white. They have Mongoloid admixture. Sami, right?

They are white, but not “pure” as they say. I’m against Nordicists, and Eurocentric people like you.

What about the Vikings? By Nordic I’m presuming you mean Scandinavian. There are some burly Scandinavian men out there. All regions have varied people. There are even Norwegian and Swedish people with dark hair, brown eyes and olive skin (shock and horror).

I agree whole heartedly with the guy who said Paul Walker looks Nordic rather than Anglo.

You are spot on, infact here’s a Swedish footballer who could pass as Paul Walkers older brother or father, Olof Mellberg.

Marc March 31, 2011 at 6:05 am: not long ago BBC did genetic tests in Britain.They tryed (and wanted i guess) to find genes of Vikings there.And they found it just in Orkney islands .lol,even Anglo-Saxons left a little trace at east and south of England.Just look at the genetic map! Difference between Irish and English is very little.

Why Swedish footballer could pass as Paul Walker? i’ll tell you.Cause Scandinavia was populated at neolith from west of Europe.

I am actualy quite curious about Paul, he must be one of the few Irish that decended from Vikings. From their brief time in Ireland.

Cause to be completely honest with you? Paul Walker does not look Celtic or Anglo Saxon at all, or even typical German for the matter, he looks Nordic, Scandinavian.

Plenty Swedish people look just like him but not a lot of Irish, English, or Germans look like Paul walker. Paul had to have some Viking blood at one point!

Paul is not English, He’s Irish & German American so no one needs to fix the mistake, i think you guys are confusing him with Tom Welling who is all 3 of those things.

Its pretty ridiculous to assume someone’s ethnicity just by the surname of their mothers, some of you clearly have trouble understand that lots of Americans change their surnames to make them sound more “American” espeacialy Greeks, Germans & Italians but its not unheard of for Irish, i assume that his mother is the German one since his father is Irish that could mean his mother simply had some weird long German name and changed it you cannot always go on the surname’s of people espeacialy when it comes to America. My friend is a full blooded Russian but he does not have a Russian name he has a Scottish one because his parents wanted him to fit in to American society more.

Irish people are geneticaly distinct from Scots & English mainly due to the fact Ireland has not had as much immigration through the years and have remain distinct for hundreds & hundreds of years they’re almost like the Basque in a way. This can also explain why there is a higher concentration of light blue eyes and or red hair in Ireland. Blue eyes are a recessive trait and being that Ireland has not had many foreignors to come in as England did you get the picture. You can usualy tell someone is of Irish descent just by looking at them not only because of the crystal blue eyes but the fact they usualy have roundish faces (Olivia Wylde) and softer features than English & Scots one of the main reasons you can pinpoint an Irish person better than you could an English or Scot is because of that genetic distinction they have.

I can’t believe you guys are fighting over a no talent, non acting pretty boy like Paul Walker, honestly there are literally tons of other better looking Irish-Americans that CAN actualy act that you could fight over and claim rather than this loser. I personaly would be ashamed to call him Irish-American. We have so much better, literaly tons, some of the best actors America has ever put out, we don’t need to claim this Z-lister lol.

@ Janae

You are right about the blue eyed part, dunno about the blond part though, but its true, more English people have dark eyes than Irish people, most Irish people have light blue eyes, its apparent in most Irish American actos of either full or partial Irish heritage.

Megan Fox – Light blue eyes
Paul Walker – Light blue eyes
Patrick Dempsey – Light blue eyes
Cilian Murphey – Light blue eyes
Pierce Brosman – Light blue eyes
Matt Dallas – Light blue eyes
Olivia Wilde – Light blue eyes
Chris Evans – Light blue eyes
Mark McLachlan – Light blue eyes
John Travolta – Light blue eyes

There’s also this half Italian/Irish model who’s name i forgot who has those light blue eyes.

There are a few with dark eyes like Collin Farrel or Josh Hartnett but yeah, Blue eyes are more common in Irish people, I too (partialy Irish heritage) have light blue eyes. Its so common that i usualy just ask people who have light blue eyes “Are you Irish or half” and they go “Yes” lol

There are quite a few Irish Americans with green eyes too Chad Michael Murray & Lindsay Lohan come to mind.
