George Lopez is an American comedian, actor, and television personality. He was the host of the show Lopez Tonight from 2009 to 2011.
His father, Anatasio Lopez, was a Mexican emigrant, from Nayarit. His mother, Frieda, was born in Los Angeles, of Mexican descent. George has a daughter, actress Mayan Lopez, with his former wife Ann Serrano.
George’s paternal grandparents were named Francisco Lopez and Josefa.
George’s maternal grandfather was John Hernandez (the son of Pedro Hernandez and Raphaela Vargas). John was born in California, to parents from Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.
George’s maternal grandmother was Benita N. Torres (the daughter of Alfonso Torres and Manulea Mares). Benita was born in California. Manuela was born in Santiago Apostol, Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico, the daughter of Lucio Mares and Maria Guadalupe Héras. George’s step-grandfather was named Refugio Gutierrez.
A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Lopez Tonight (2009) stated that George’s genetic ancestry is:
*55% European
*32% Native American
*9% East Asian
*4% Sub-Saharan African
The exact accuracy of the DNA tests on Lopez Tonight has been questioned by genealogist Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak.
Most Mexicans are part European because of the Spanish conquerors, that’s why most Mexicans are called Mestizos (Eurpoean and Native American mix). Dark genes are dominant; that’s why Jessica Alba, for example , looks very ethnic even though 85% European. My friend is Eurasian and looks Hispanic because Hispanic people are mixed (and beautiful : D) George is a good looking guy.
George is good looking? Really? He looks really ugly to me!
Maybe Your Just Jelouse ! It Seems That U Dont Know How You Look Like Cuz Problably EveryTime You Try To Look In The Mirror It Always Seems To Brake ! Get A Life !
No I’m not jealous. I’m actually considerably much better looking than George.
4% black lol is more believable than 55% european
I don’t know about the 55%,but the 4% is very believable.Since Africans have been there since Europeans have shown uP
I’d believe 55%. There’s a lot of biracial people who are 50% black and 50% white and you’d never think they’d had white blood in them. So why can’t the same go for someone with George’s background? Genes and probability go together. It’s just chance, and the more mix you are, and depending on how many generations you’re mixed, the greater the chances are that you and your full blooded sibling might not look alike.
But genes, a very complicated matter. Whereas there’s also an explanation as to how some siblings come out looking alike. But that’s too complicated for now.
:-p And that he’s 4% african is not a shock.
To Adriana
Hey sista,How are you?I know the 55% was on the money,I just wasn’t concern about it right then.It’s just that Mexicans in the North of the country don’t know anything about their African Heritage.I was reading and article the other day and a college professor in Mexico states that he didn’t know until 7yrs ago.I thought how sad that was until I remember the avg black person in the states couldn’t tell you 1/10 about what black people have done in the past ;all they know is (slavery,malcolm x,and Dr.King)
he’s sooo funny
Lol….He Is!
European can also mean Spain or Spanish.
50% European? Yeah, sure. I don’t believe it, he is full Native/Indigenous.
Well Believe, And Please No Ignorance….
Just Know That Genes Work In Strange Ways!
to mary: ur a whore he can be europan spain spainish his genes just won over the naitive skin but the facial feactures are soooo europeando ur research asshole.
He’s not anything close to a full Native American. I know a Mestizo when I see one. George Lopez has European admixture all over him. Just like you’d probably call Obama just black despite him having 50% European ancestry.
