He was great in Dunkirk, too bad he never did much after that. Very unlikely that he is full english, most modern day white english people have some degree of other british isles “ethnicities” in their recent and relatively recent background. Really very feel people born in England over the past 200, 300 years are REALLY english. The safe bet os that he also have some scottish, irish, and maybe more distant welsh descent.
*the safe bet is
Mother’s last name is Jones. Isn’t that usually a Welsh last name?
