Thought he was Spanish, the ones with light features. They look like that. Something exotic about his face.
A cute gay man btw.
Spanish people don’t have blue eyes they look like Saudia Arabians.
This guy looks like a Siberian Husky.
See what I mean!:

I was going to say, Irish all day long! – he looks exactly like Irish footballer, Robbie Keane.
But then, they say, that the Irish and Germans have a similar look.
Roughly speaking, his paternal grandfather’s ancestry is Scottish, is paternal grandmother’s is Irish/English. His maternal grandmother’s ancestry is of German ancestry, and his maternal grandmother is of of German, English, and Welsh ancestry. Somewhere, there’s remote Dutch ancestry.
His paternal grandfather had a lot more things than just Scottish.
Where did the Scottish and welsh ancestry come from. I read the English and German on this page. Are you going by surnames?
I’m going largely on surnames and Dallas is a Scottish name.
Wow you got some incredible information on his ancestry. I always wonder what his ancestry was. I would not have thought German on english. I figured he was dutch, some Croatia, Russian ancestry. Just my guess because he has that dark hair looked but light eyes and pale skin complexion. Even tho many English people have those same traits. Germans and english mostly have the brown or blonde hair with blue eyes tho. I guess I expected him to well have more different European ancestry than he does.
His ancestry is absolutely typical for a white American. Maybe a little heavier on the German than many.
I know that. I just said I was expecting something different. Not German but maybe Romanian… something more southern Europe. French… I also thought Dallas was his stage name lol.
