Does anyone know what his parents’ names are? Appearently his mother has Italian and possibly Jewish ancestry.
this guy looks jewish as fuck
there isnt just one Jewish look, think about Simon & Garfunkel, both Jewish and completely different the one from the other
Steven looks like a mix of them.
(kidding).
never said there was just one jewish look and i dont know why you think i did.
Are you sure thats his dad?
he looks native american or latin
heheheh xD
So sick of you Americans claiming someone with dark features as native American.
The dude looks very Italian. Handsome at it too.
Ah, I remember when people swore up and down that he was “destined” to play Jacob Black, but since he isn’t Native American I bet lots of peple were disappointed or something like that.
