The “Durfee” line has an ancient French Huguenot origin.
Handsome for a Celt.
Good thing he’s not Muslim.

Not all Scots are of Celtic descent. And we DON’T all look the same. But as it happens there are lots of good looking Celts -Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Errol Flynn, and probably hundreds more, who have lit up Hollywood.
