    To me, he looks like native americans. I know he is spanish but I can t accept that he is totally mediteranean.

  5. Rachel Vasquez says:

    He doesn’t look full European, he reminds me of Taylor Lautner. Is it possible that he has some Asian or Amerindian ancestry?

    • SpaniardIam says:

      No, it is not possible. Nadal ‘s family comes to 100 percent in Europe. His ancestors were never in America . Nadal seems Amerindian but he is 100 percent Spaniard.
