    Correction, HER EYES ARE HAZEL

    • J.J. says:

      correction; her eyes are actually different colours but they’re still both green, so her eye colour should be listed as green (one eye grey/green, and the other green/hazel)
      her eyes are similar to mila Kunis.

        OK she has an eye green and the other is hazel but most oft he times (specially in potos) her eyes look hazel and Mila has Green-Brown eyes.

        • Gaby says:

          i mean Green-hazel eyes

          • J.J. says:

            i think you are mistake like most americans as to what hazel eyes actually are. Hazel eyes are light brown in colour with tints/glows of golden, orange and red tones basically an eye that resembles the colour of a hazelnut hence the word hazel, a good example of true hazel eyes would be Catherine zeta jones and Natalie portman. The true definition of hazel eyes has been known throughout Europe for centuries in fact the very first reference to eyes being described as the colour hazel was by William Shakespeare in which he was comparing a womans eyes to the reddish brown colour of a ripe hazelnut. In the past hundred years or so North Americans have started misusing the term hazel by inaccurately calling any green and brown or multi-coloured iris (blue, grey or green with brown around the pupil) as the colour hazel which doesn’t make sense as a hazelnut doesn’t have any blue, grey or green colouring.

            Her eyes are most definitely not green.

  3. J.J. says:

    correction; her eyes are green and her hair is dark brown (brunette) (dyed black) I think it should be listed

  4. Alice says:

    “Northern Irish” are still Irish Follers and should still be included as just Irish. I can understand if you want to use the term “Scotch-Irish” for the people that colonised the US a couple of hundred years ago but the term is American. Also a lot of Northern Irish are of Irish origin and not Scots.
