English and Irish?
This has to be the worst joke ever.
No way that this woman is full English. I understand Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta Jones, Colin Farell and George Clooney, but no, this one is too much!
She is very beautiful of course. But that isn’t the point here. She looks like she has Indian ancestry (or at least Middle Eastern/Med). It’s too obvious.
have you seen her with no makeup? looks like a brit to me
She looks like a chipmunk with those cheeks.
Tons of white people have native or black ancestry. You can have blonde hair and blue eyes and be around 10% native, black or asian. There are almost no “pure” races anymore. Since technology and connection evolved, people travel and migrate from all around the world. Specially in the Americas there’s a huge percentage of white people who have at least 6-3% of ancestry of another ethnicity.
Stop being so whiny. “I don’t believe this! it’s a lie! They must be lying because i can’t see native american in them!!” Of course you can’t see it, the admixture has faded away after 15% or less.
She’s racially ambiguous.
