He’s got an olive skin hasn’t he? In that respect he reminds me of another person from Northern Ireland, George Best:

I remember an Irish reporter interviewing Best – he said he looked more like an Italian than Irish! Didn’t understand it then, but now I guess its the Scottish influence (https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/aug/15/scotland-dna-study-project).
1 he does not have “olive” skin
2 he does not look like George Best
3 I doubt an Irish reporter said such thing
It looks like it to me. Bests look speaks for itself. And the reporter did write it.
How about Rory Best then?:

Jamie Dornan -> young Colin Firth. I think it’s time to stop trolling Northern Irish or Scottish people.
