He looks Haitian.
Wrong post or just trolling? I came here because my sister rent the worst movie I ever seen: Rock of Ages. This guy was cast as a white boy not as a black person in the movie.Everyone think that I look like him(my friends and family). Only I have blue eyes and my hair is lighter. I though he was Spaniard. I am a white dutch man. Never been call black in my life.Hiatian people may be white. Little did I know.
He looks fully white, his parents were clearly of European ancestry. White Latinos.
no he doesn’t. he clearly has native influences
WTF, He looks white. I look like him and I am Dutch. Yes, I am consider good looking.There is a reason why he was cast as a white guy in an American movie.After looking at the comments I thinking most Americans confuse race with nationality or have never travel outside there own country.They are many people who are consider white in the USA but are obviously mixed people(Kim Kardashian) and are not consider white in Europe.His facial feactures are of a white person.
He’s MOSTLY white. But all “white” Latinos have non-white blood.
All white Latinos have non-white blood. Latinos classify their race based on skin colour because obviously they know nothing about their racial history, as Latin-Americans are so mixed up these days. If a Latino has white skin and white facial features, they’ll classify themselves as white regardless of how much Native American or Black ancestry they have. A Castizo or Latino of 1/3 Native American ancestry could identify as white depending on how European they look.
there’s no such thing as “white skin”, skin tones of the white race vary significantly. White in regards to skin tone is used metaphorically and the term now is branded towards particularly ethnicities and phenotypes of the “caucasian” race. White skin is non existent as is black skin, if you wish to refer to white people with rather light skin the word “fair” is often seen as appropriate.
I am agree. He is “criollo” that means of Spanish ancestry at least 7/8, so he is white.
correction; his eyes are green and his hair is dark brown (brunette)

His eyes are brown! They are the same color as his hair.

J.J’s eye colour classifications are bizarre.
Diego Boneta looks like Mitt Romney (who also had a Mexican father).
NO, his father is not ethnically MEXICAN. He is WHITE, but was LIVING in Mexico. He DOESN’T have MEXICAN blood in him. He is WHITE as freshly fallen snow.
OH and I forgot to say that he doesn’t look like Romney whatsoever. EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! What an insult to Diego. Diego is hot and Romney is ugly as hell!!!!!!!!
I know all about Mitt Romney’s ancestry. But to deny that he looks like Diego is madness.
WHAAAA? I didn’t know that….
correction; his eyes are certainly not brown, my eye colour classifications are not bizarre they’re just extremely accurate because I’m actually taking time to look these celebrities up on google images and zooming in on large pictures in order to see their true eye colour rather than going off small distant pictures that tell nothing, a person with green eyes could look blue in distant photos and a person with amber eyes could look plain brown in distant photos, this guys eyes are most definitely not brown, they’re green or at least a forest green (green w brown)
But his eyes look brown to me.
correction; well they’re not brown they’re green, look the celebrity up on google images and zoom in
Green eyes are like Robert Pattinson or James Wolk. Boneta doesn’t have them.
correction; why are you arguing a point that clearly doesn’t need to be argued, his eyes are not brown, they’re green or if you prefer forest green (green w brown). As for james wolk yes his eyes do appear to be green and they are quite pretty but if you zoom in his are actually blue with brown around the pupil, no ones eyes are solidly green, however eyes can be solidly brown and Diego’s are most definitely not. I’ve noticed quite a few people lately back lashing at my corrections like I’m some loser who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, it’s quite uncalled for
I am starting to yearn for those days 8000 years ago when everybody in the world had the same eye color.
I think you’re gonna have to go back more than 8000 years to when everyone had virtually black hair and eyes, blue eyes and blonde hair along with all the other colours resulted from mixing have been around longer than 8000 years
You may have to go even further back than 8000 years. Lol
As I understand it, blue eyes are a genetic mutation that first appeared about 8000 years ago, in the area that is now southern Bulgaria. Before that, everyone had the same eye color.
The mutation for blue eyes occurred 6,000 – 10,000 years ago. Read about it here.

Averages out to 8,000!
Yes. I was backing up what you said with the article.
Ethnic, I wonder if you could crop the picture, please? Otherwise it shows up badly in featured posts.
He’s cute!
