Irish all the way as far as I know. :)
Looks like a North African with French ancestry.
You are the funniest troll I have ever seen. Do you know that some people get tan on purpose?
Lmfao, he’s definitely not fully white. His mother is lying to him, ijs….
have you seen the irish xD looks like any irish in ireland which makes sense because he is irish. and curly hair doesn’t mean ethnic haha.
Yeah there are so many black people in Ireland. Apparently every British person on this site with a tan is lying about their ancestry lol.
There’s definitely some Black in him. I’ve seen many quadroons that look like him.
NO.
He is what they call “black Irish”… basically dark haired and olive skinned people (Iberian looking). There are many People like him in Ireland, especially in areas such as; Cork and Galway (Western Ireland). He doesn’t look in any way “Black (African)”. Though, if he did have African ancestry (which he blatantly doesn’t), I am sure he wouldn’t lie about it.
Got any examples then? No, I thought not. Invented.
PS The Irish are reputed to be the whitest skinned people in the world – ever heard of Celtic skin?, which will not tan.
A great example is Colin Farrell, who is 100% Irish but looks hispanic. Also Aidan Gillen and Pierce Brosnan. They all come from East Ireland. All these people have naturally dark skin that tans and dark features.
it depends what you mean for hispanic. Juanes is “hispanic” but looks European, for example.

it’s typical for irish people to have dark hair, pale skin and pale eyes.. thats the overall irish look
why would he claim anything other then Irish.
even he is black blooded. or had a 4th generation black ancestry.
it’s celab ethnicity not race.. black is not a ethnicity.
just because you dont have any cultural ethnical significant history so you have to imposed your self- diluted self-centric race-centrist history prospective to other and normalized your self hating insecurity to others who have nothing to you or you to be claimed to.
(I, e he is hiding of his black ancestry)
just because you are One it doesn’t means others are like that..
