    She looks like a female version of Seth Macfarlane.

    Correction: She not is Manx. She is Irish. Celtic people are Irish.

      How do you know she is of Irish descent?

      The Irish, Scottish, Manx, and Welsh are all of Celtic origin.

        She wore an Ireland national rugby team shirt of her Instagram profile, perhaps she’s part Irish. What is certain is that her mother is not white. , For whatever reason she posted her father, her sister and her (paternal) grandparents’ pics on Instagram, but nothing about her mother.

  3. Katz says:

    Her mother isn’t white, though she’s never said what she is, so that’d be weird to speculate.

    Her last name certainly fits her appearance. She looks like a dog.
