I thought he was full Irish.
Why, do you know any Irish who look like that?
He’s got an African nose/mouth.
Yes i think he’s full European descent but his nose and mouth look odd. If he was darker no doubt more people would see this.
How exactly? Africans are diverse and you’ll find all kinds of nose shapes in Africa
I think I should be clearer. I mean and i think that user meant Sub Sarahan Africa phenotypes. And I don’t mean his nose is common to SSA people. I just mean it looks like it could be influenced by SSA genes.
I still stand by my belief that if he his skin and hair was darker more people would ask if he’s mulatto or quadroon.
Again, he’s probably just English/Irish in ancestry but it doesn’t mean his features can’t throw people off..
He has Cro-Magnon features. Many people in parts of Northern Europe have those pseudo primitive facial traits: broad noses, square jawlines, very light pigmentation. Like this guy:

I don’t know.. I mean Liam Hemsworth looks cro magnon to me and his nose still looks whiteish.
Okay I admit Rupert is probably full white but I’m not the only one who didn’t think this so I guess he’s pretty ambiguous looking.
I still think Brian L MAY be mixed even though I’d say his phenotype may be more cro magnon imo his nostrils still make me wonder as Rupert, Liam, Neal don’t have nostrils like his.
He hasn’t got a broad nose – hes smiling!, his jawline isn’t square, its round.
Reminds me of Jack Nicklaus!:

It appears that he is 1/8 German. His great grandmother’s name is Winifred Alice Speers and Speers is a German surname.
I believe Winifred Speers was the daughter of Alexander Speers and Ada. “Speers” can be an English or Irish surname.
Poor kid. Left with the name Rupert Grint.
