Ok I must say I thought he was mixed. Not sure with what but definitely mixed. He has portrayed different races in movies and he looked the part 100% wow. But I love him as an actor and he’s very attractive :-)
He definitely looks like he has Asian ancestry.
Yes, I think he was partially Asian too.
