Trust me marion cotillard is the typical french girl, the majority of french girls look like her, but i admit that she is beautiful !!!
I don’t think she could have an other ethnical group, but maybe she has “jewish” blood northern african jewich or central europe jewish) but i don’t think so, i think she’s pure french lool
I think some French look more Latin than northern European. I guess it depends on where in France they are from. Marion does have an intriguing look about her.
French is a Latin based language so would she not be Latin in that context?
I know some French people consider themselves Latin.
? You’re embarrassing yourself ethnic because Latin is NOT a race, or ethnicity. IT is a language, the root language for French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, and Portuguese. I speak the Latin language. By Latin you mean Latina or Latino ethnicity in her (from Latin America). Please do your research, furcifer.
French people are northwesterner Europeans in a huge majority. 20% ot French are more southern European, in southern region. French are celtic, germanic and roman. Latin is linguistically. Some feel culturally latin but not latino as latin american people. Marion looks very average french. However they are also blonde french or more southern looking in Provence or occitania region. France is the carrefour of western Europe. Then french generally look like they’re neighbors. Very diversed.
Latin is linguistically. It’s not a race. French are celtic, germanic and roman.
im not sure lol:) Maybe Arab or something? My dads french and he said france has a little arabian bloob in there, or maybe shes just white with a tan lol, http://www.fanpix.net/picture-gallery/449/1453449-marion-cotillard-picture.htm
and ive noticed french ppl look kinda “exotic”. Do you think so?
French people doesn’t have arabian blood. Except the French who are originally from Northern Africa. French people are north Western European. Celtic, germanic and Roman. It’s literally depend the region they are from. Blonde or brunette, blue eyes, green or hazel. Very fair skin to more olive skin. Marion is not tan but she used make up.
Really like what?
I always got the thought she was something else.
They are look nothing exotic at all. They are just typical Western European… some who looks exotic aren’t pure french or european. Have you ever seen a map? French people is not a race, they can be celtic, Roman, German, flemish ect… it’s literally the carrefour of Western Europe.
