He’s in his 50’s too. That’s why Italians are the best white boys in my opinion. The others like the British or Germans age like crap in just their 30s.

Fuzzybear has always been a funny one D: The irony is though that the highest amount of black ancestry most likely occurs in Irish and English Americans along with other colonial groups. Black ancestry in whites is at it’s highest in the South of the United States which is dominated by Irish and British descendants. The British empire itself brought a lot of foreign DNA back to Britain, from India even. Brits like to bang the natives of the regions they conquer lol
@Cali
I may be funny, but I’m usually correct. Also, it’s not just Brits who like to do the horizontal mambo with everyone they come contact with. Italians have done more than their fair share,especially in the Southern States .like Louisiana for instance.
@ Greyface
WOW,I’m on your mind that much
I honestly thought he was Hispanic when I saw him in Winter Soldier. Guess not.
Well hispanics mostly get their looks from Spaniards, Portuguese, and Italians so that’s not so far fetched. Before mediterraneans Latinos were Native Americans and looked Asian/Mongoloid not mediterranean.
He looks like Ryan Seacrest.
in this pic yes
