He is the son of Maria and Joe Sheehan. He added Adam as his confirmation name, becoming Robert Michael Adam Sheehan.
Robert’s brother, Brendan Sheehan, was asked about their heritage on Twitter. He replied:
Irish all the way as far as I know. :)
I think that was me Dee! He is definitely just Irish but I see people are already suggesting otherwise! You’ve got to laugh :)
Dee of course there was going to be a huge argument about him that is why i commented what i did it is funny and i also a fortune teller
Some people on this site think all Irish people have pale skin and red hair….it freaks them out when an Irish person doesn’t look like a leprechaun. I blame Lucky Charms ;)
Yes Anya hey what about the Coors should they be suggested on here or maybe not the people on here might have a heart attack from the shock.They think there is a big conspiracy theory about all irish not looking like leprechauns:)
Haha…that Lucky Charm bit is actually funny. LMAO! Still don’t think he looks Irish though. Some people on this site hate Irish. Not me, just don’t think he looks it. Most American people don’t have passports. It figures.
His coloring could be Irish for sure but the shape of his eyes and his facial structure are not. And Alice…I don’t want a big lecture please on how there are thousands of Irish people that look like him. You seem to do that on every Irish celeb that people question. It’s a little tired now.
No I’m not going to lecture. You are entitled to your opinion. Thanks for your feedback.
Alice you know you facts girl keep on going Bobatu just contradicted himself saying that people question any Irish celebrity who is not pale there are plenty Irish with his coloring they are gorgeous
I think Bobatu and Me are the same (racist) person. Irish people come in all varieties. I know someone who kissed Robert. Jealous!
Thanks Levi and Anya. There are plenty of different looks in Ireland and they are Irish for generations. It is the same in other European countries. Alot of people on these boards don’t seem to have travelled much.
Would just like to say I am definitely not ‘Me’. Can’t stand that ignoramus. Whatever Robert Sheehan is, he is good looking. Hate fools who mark down everyones comments so we can’t see the discussion any more. Racists.
I didn’t contradict myself Levi. And don’t be hinting that I’m ‘Me’. I think Me has about 10 different posting names on this site but I ain’t one of them. I know someone who can trace IPs so one day I might just expose them all. I think a lot of people would be surprised ;)
Ok Bobatu i believe you:)Sometimes you just do not know with this page.I do not mind if someone see things differently to me and i like to learn new things.But im sick of the same discussions on every celeb that is not ultra pale therefor can not be European it gets repetitive and boring . it seems it always that one user so i do not know how many name she uses.If you do not conform to what every one else say on here you are ostracized so childish.
sometimes this site really sucks ass
i can’t even see the discussion
i think it’s wrong that people who have a different opinion are flagged down for not agreeing
no other site allows that shit to go down except this one
that’s why it’s so juvenile
since you are so damn smart and know everything, then what ethnicity do you think he is?
He is not full Irish. No way.
Yes he is. Ask him!
have you met robert sheehan anya?
No but my friend has. He is from her hometown.
The first picture is obviously not of Robert Sheehan. I wish you could edit some of these posts.

Okay bvision, I’ll humour you. Here is a pic of Robert Sheehan. Take a look and tell me what features he has that you see as black?

If he is black to you then the majority of Europeans are black.

Sorry I’ve accidentally put a wrong picture in the above post.
What do those girls have to do with it?
Bobatu the picture was put in there in error. My other comments are awaiting moderation where I’ve apologised.
Actually the girls do look a bit like Robert Sheehan. Maybe he is part Romany.
@Bobatu Well nothing would surprise me. What do you think it is that makes him not look Irish to you?
I personally think Robert looks Irish. He just has his own unique look. Facially he reminds me a bit of another Irish actor Cillian Murphy. Cillian has straight hair and Robert has curly hair but facially I think they are similar.
He does not look like Cillian Murphy. In some photos he looks Latino, in others Romany or Kurdish even.
Well he’s not going to get typecast then is he? He can play any nationality which will be good for his career.
He doesn’t look black.
yea he does
I think you need new glasses
And bvision you need to go to Specsavers or you are color blind
no maybe you two need them, hes full irish but to me he looks like he has some black in him. whats the big deal?
It is repetitive any European with a tan color.is now part black what is the deal with wanting to claim people as part black i would love the see your information with the family tree of Roberts black ancestor and i will believe you til then no.None of his characteristics are black he says he is Irish so that is what i call him you say he is full Irish then you say part black that makes no sense to me.
dude…i never said he was black all i said was that he LOOKS half black to me and you act like i killed someone. Chill the fuck out sheesh. sorry i dont live in fucking europe so when i see a european with tan skin and curly frizzy hair thats what i thought. I found out that he is full irish and ive said that in my last statements, maybe if you got your head out of your ass you’d understand that.
he looks black to me too
this page is dumb
he isn’t famous
they put him up to race bait
bvision i will not take your opinion serious.with the comments you make around here .guaranteed everyone on here never heard of him before bar maybe 3 and the rest just googled him .any celebrity with any irish heritage seems to cause controversy people seem to be obsessed with them.
this is not a obsessive comment @ bvision?
@bvision how the poster “me” could be banned from ABF several times?his ip was banned. these trolls use several different computers.
maybe you’re right @bvision i just advise him-her to stop posting obsessive messages,if not people will think that he or she is the woman obsessed with white girls ; )
