Thanks Latino Italiano for backing up my comment about megan. I’m glad you see what I see and your comment wasn’t ignorant at all, it was very interesting.
Anyone who has (good) eyes for spotting mixed-gene people can tell right away that Megan Fox is not totally white. You can see the Native American in her to an extent. Megan Fox even admits it herself that she has Native American ancestors. I always thought Angelina had mixture, no matter who says otherwise. Her father can deny it all he wants, but he hasn’t done a DNA test on his wife, so he’s not exactly a good source of information on the subject. Many Canadians and Americans alike have Native American ancestry mixed from 100-300 years ago. It might not show STRONGLY since it was probably only once or twice, and the rest of their ancestors are white… but the mixture is still there. You can see the exotic change in them. Even many Russians are mixed with native blood! You can tell, especially the ones with black hair; but they’re also mixed with a decent amount of Semitic blood, as well, not only European, but Middle Eastern.
So, she most likely did get her lips from native or even a black ancestor. There are white people in the U.S. who’ve had 1-3 black ancestors and never knew it until they did a background check on their family tree; any many with a little African blood shown in their DNA, but they do not know this until they’re tested.
Unless you’re from Europe, especially northern Europe, like Sweden or Norway, then you’re most likely mixed to a small degree with something else.
I have very full lips like Angelina Jolie, as well, but my mouth isn’t wide like hers. My lips look at little thicker than hers because on a horizontal my mouth is ‘shorter’ not wider like hers.
My lips look very similar to this girls’ lips:

Almost exactly like that, only in the middle on my top lip, it has a sharper curve to it, not as flat as hers. I am a guy though, and I do not wear lipstick (I’m straight), but they do get shiny like that if I’m wearing chap stick (always…). ;)
The ladies love the full lips for kissing and… uh… other things. *wink*
My father was half Cuban and half Puerto Rican. My mother is half Sicilian and half Neapolitan (Naples, Italy). I’m mixed, but I look pretty Semitic, with my “Roman nose” and thicker, black eyebrows, light olive skin tone. My eyes are oval. My full lips most likely come from an African ancestor I must have had in my family tree. I also have Native American in me.
enuff said, If you think she has a Native American look to her I cant try to persuade you to think otherwise. I dont really think she does. Just my opinion.

and I do agree with mystery person, Megan Fox does have a cacausian/native american look to her.
That’s not true ethnic, yes there is a theory about how the native americans migrated from asia via a frozen land bridge to alaska and then through out the american continent and maybe a very small number of modern day natives have an asian look, but native americans have evolved away from the asian appearance because native americans have different skull formations and skin tone etc. It just goes back to charles Darwin’s study of species and the fact that evolution occurs.
