In my belief it’s impossibile the jew poc l!ttletimmy is like him.
I’m sure l!ttletimmy is fine with his background. Pretty clear you’d sell yourself to look like this otherwise.
It’s impossibile because the way you two talk you’re plenty of inferiority complex and you fake to be Finn but you’re a disgusting spik.
It’s you who threw this guy in. We don’t care. You seem still obsessed with that Finn thing. Get over it
Orange complexion
He doesn’t even look Russian… lol
He played a Russian when he is Swedish LOL. I thought that was far fetched. Russians typically have dark brown air…
So do many Scandinavians. Blonde hair is not the majority of Swedens hair color. They are considered some of the blondest countries. There’s a difference in being considered one of the blondest countries and actually being mostly blonde which none of the Scandinavian nations are. Brown hair is most common even there.
Bullshit. Shut up.
Blonde hair is REAL Swedes, others are mixed.
Lol Thank you
explain why theres so many brunettes in sweden who are 100% swedish and some with brown eyes?
also explain why the women in the tv show “hollywood fruer” all admit to not being naturally blonde but using bleach? please spare me that “all true scandinavians are blonde” when any scandinavian will tell you otherwise except for people like you with a personal bias.
Russian typically have dark brown hair? LOL Maybe you meant to say Russian Jews. Russians are as light if not lighter than Scandinavians.
