The picture is horible . He usually doesn’t look that weird.
He is spanish but it is true that he does not look spaniard at all (i am spaniard myself and i am entitled to say so).
he looks mestizo. In fact he looks plain native american. They’re are some native americans that look like him.
I know
He isn’t Native American.
NO. 100% ancestors spaniard.
He does not look Mestizo or native atall, he looks different but DEFINTLEY NOT NATIVE OR MEXICAN.. ) If he was, why does he live in Spain and his ancestors have ONLY lived in Spain or in Europe? lool
He’s 100% from Spain or other parts of Europe. Come on people.
To me, he looks like native americans. I know he is spanish but I can t accept that he is totally mediteranean.
Well, better learn to accept it, he’s 100% Spanish or other euro mixed, no Native, no mestizo.
He doesn’t look full European, he reminds me of Taylor Lautner. Is it possible that he has some Asian or Amerindian ancestry?
No, it is not possible. Nadal ‘s family comes to 100 percent in Europe. His ancestors were never in America . Nadal seems Amerindian but he is 100 percent Spaniard.
