he clearly hasn’t green eyes, perhaps hazel, anywhere green!
his eyes contain obvious blue/green colouration, a hazelnut contains neither or those colours, look up a hazelnut and put it next to his eyes, tell me if you see a resemblance
He looks just asian to me
That’s because white genes and recessive. If you notice that when a person of color mixes with a white person, their children take after the non-white parent? Black and white mixes look black, same with Asian and white. Of course there are times when the child takes after their white parent, but most of the time the kids don’t look white at all.
Son of a b1tch, I meant ARE recessive*. This is why I hate using my phone, it fcuks everything up. I actually can spell and form correct sentences, my fcuking phone likes to make me look stupid!
He doesn’t look 100% Asian to me. Compare him to a pure Chinese person.
correction; his eyes are green, if you want to get technical his eyes are a blue/green with brown around the pupil which is why they do look brown in the website picture however if you look closely they have an obvious blue colour around the edges of the eye.
Here are some pictures where his eyes are obviously light and have strong green colouration;

correction; they are green, how about looking at more than one picture before making judement, I provided two large pictures where his eyes are obviously light
Yes I looked at them and his eyes are brown. Judging by a lot of your posts most people that are brown eyed are hazel and green.
Someone that has mid brown eyes is really just that and not hazel eyed like the majority of people are labelled on this forum.
These are green eyes

These are hazel eyes but I think you would call them forest green which is an eye colour I’ve never heard of.

incorrect, you like many others are clearly under the north American misconception that hazel refers to eyes that are green and brown or multi coloured. Hazel actually refers to the light luminous brown colour of a hazelnut, hence the word ‘hazel’. In Europe the origin or light eyes and hazelnuts they still use the true meaning of hazel eyes and the first reference to eyes ever being described as the colour hazel was by William Shakespeare in Romeo & Juliet where he compared a womans eyes to the reddish brown colour of a ripe hazelnut but somehow, someway hundreds of years later North Americans have misconceived the definition of hazel eyes to be green and brown or any light eye that appears to shift in colour regardless of the eyes actually resemblance to the colour of a hazelnut.
These are true hazel eyes;

As you can see they’re just a lighter pretty golden brown and can have reddish brown tones present, hazel is just a word to make brown eyes sound nicer and identify lighter more vibrant brown eyes differently to that of deeper/darker brown eyes. If you still don’t believe me do some research on the hazel eye misconception
correction; his eyes are not green or brown, they’re green full stop
I’m not North American and I know eye colours very well as my relatives have blue, green and hazel eyes and this gentleman’s eyes are not at all green.
if you cannot see his eyes are light and of mixed blue/green with brown you’re either not paying close enough attention, very ignorant or choosing to disagree because for some reason my hair & colour corrections annoy you. I never make corrections on my own pretences, i properly view large pictures of the celebrities eyes before making judgment, as eye colour can only be truly defined by viewing close up images, a persons eyes can be easily misconceived without proper examination from good distance and lighting.
His eyes don’t have any blue or green in them. They are what would be called hazel eyes. I think the majority of people wouldn’t agree with your eye colour definitions. Everyone with brown eyes is hazel to you and hazel eyed people are all green eyed or “forest green”. I’m not very ignorant because I don’t agree with your colour classifications. Are you a qualified anthropologist? In anthropological terms his eyes wouldn’t be classified as light.
don’t try to tell me about eye colours, I’ve done my research, green and brown or blue and brown is certainly not hazel, hazel is just a light yellowish/reddish brown, how about you type ‘hazelnut’ on google images and tell me what colour they look to you, I’d be surprised if you found ones that were blue or green in any way. In terms of his eyes not being classified as light, you’re clearly a blind ignoramus.
I’m not going to argue anymore. It’s not worth it. Green eyes are supposed to be the rarest eye colour but not according to you. I bet if you look up a lot of these people’s eye colour on other sites they will be different to yours. In fact any I’ve looked up all agree his eye colour is hazel.
Here are a couple of sites.

There not in the least green. He has brown eyes.
They are not there in my previous post.
Here is a clearer picture of Russell Wong and you could say he has hazel eyes but they aren’t green.
