I though he was Italian, Spanish, Portuguese or Greek for sure. He could even be Iranian. I never guessed those mixtures. However, Europe has a lot of Middle Eastern people especially in England so being English means nothing on its own he would need a dna test.
… what the hell did I just read?!?
he’s just 1/8 English. Also the massive immigration to England is a post WWII phenomenon and it concerns more the South Asia region or the West Indies, not the Middle East.
Another dark Irishman.
He’s not an Irishman, he’s just 50% Irish.
