She’s beautiful.
She’s full European.
No such thing as being “european”
If you mean “white” like the american racists whenever they use “european” as a synonym, sorry but “indigenous european” doesn’t always mean white.
Welsh people are English.
No they aren’t you menace
I came here to look for an explanation of her name. Is there no information on where Zeta-Jones came from?? Is it just a made-up stage name??
Her middle name is Zeta, after her grandmother. Catherine combined her middle name with her surname.
of course she looks mixed,I’ve seen several hispanic and part-asian women with these features
She’s Welsh and Irish, 2 of the groups with the least admixture since the neolithic…less than .o5% non European ancestry.
She doesn’t look mixed. She looks very welsh. I have a friend who’s welsh and looks like her.
and she doesn’t look Asian either. Small eyes are common in several parts of Europe.
btw… Hispanic isn’t a race, its a culture.
anyone can be Hispanic. Like white, black, Asian and most commonly native American. The stereotypical Hispanics that you see are mostly native Americans.
She looks like she has some Asian or Native American in her. I’ve never seen a Welsh person that looks like her.
Calling native Americans hispanic is whitewashing them.Any real native in Latin América would call itself in that way.They are brainwashed when they arrived to USA..The sterotype of hispanic in Usa is ridicolous.Hispanic is consideres a white european word in Latín America
Spaniards aren’t white you little american.
Similar to Italians and other southern europeans they have north African admixture genius boy. Thanks to this thing called “geographical position” nt every EUROPEEEEEEEEAN is white.
@ Henry Builder This assessment is not correct: Historically (i.e. pre-1950’s), the northern Spanish are most genetically associated with haplogroup R1b-S116, which are similar to the Gauls (sometimes called “italo-celtic”), this is why they closely resemble the Irish (e.g. height, near porcelain skin, straight/sharp nose, large skull with frontal lobe that sits prominently over the eye, etc.). The southern Spanish are haplogroup i2 and J (usually J-M304), which are not white.
@FLASHP01NT lmfao white and Northern Spaniards aren’t like Irish and other Northern Europeans trust me I’m a European from Europe and I still live here since my birth and I see every Europeans from every countries the Northern and white Spaniards can be a bit similar only to dark haired and dark eyed Irish and Brits but in the little version because they’re very short like 5″2.
No no compared to us Italians they look only like our Southerns like me because us Southerns come mostly from Arabs and Northern Spaniards from Aragon, Castilla and Catalan regions from North Spain, the white Italians on dark hair and dark eyes and white skin you see on American media are simply Northern-white Spaniards.
@FLASHP01NT You must’ve never seen an Irish person in your life. Basques and Northern Spaniards do not resemble Irish people in the slightest. To insinuate that is laughable. Irish people have angular skulls, pale skin and light eyes. None of those are present in the majority of Northern Spanish people.
Zeta-Jones’ ancestry is primarily Welsh and English, like most people from the South of Wales. Her English ancestry is well documented. She obviously has more English in her than Irish.
Vanessa Hudgens = Catherine Zeta Jone’s daughter.
I don’t really see the resemblance only that they both have dark hair.
I agree,but the nose of Vanessa Hudgens has a mixed race shape
Except Catherine is a lot prettier than Vanessa. Hudgens reminds me of a Pug.
