His father, the son of white, English, parents, was raised in Zimbabwe, then called Rhodesia, with his family later moving to Australia. Toby is married to Arielle Wyatt, with whom he has one child.
Toby’s patrilineal line traces to Lionel Kibbell, who was born, c. the 1650s, in England.
Toby’s paternal grandfather was Leonard William Kebbell (the son of John Falconer Kebbell and Nora Arline Gorman). Leonard was born in Kensington, London, England, of mostly English descent, with some Irish and Scottish roots. John was the son of George Kebbell and Amelia Keith Falconer. Nora was the daughter of Colin Johnston Gorman and Emily Jane Young.
Toby’s paternal grandmother was Lilian Joan Coombs (the daughter of Walter Joseph Coombs and Elizabeth Rebecca Winfield). Lilian was born in Poplar, London, England. Walter was the son of Ernest Charles Coombs and Eliza Harriett Dennett. Toby’s great-grandmother Elizabeth Winfield was the daughter of William Patrick Winfield and Jessie Piggott.
Toby’s maternal grandfather was named Arthur J. D. Mathers.
Toby’s maternal grandmother was Felicity Edith Fennell (the daughter of Arthur Barney Fennell and Violet Edith Brown). Arthur was the son of Frederick Fennell and Susan Mattey. Violet was the daughter of James William Brown, who was born in Kilwinning, Ayrshire, Scotland, and of Helen Hodge, who was born in Bathgate, Linlithgowshire, Scotland.
Toby is a second cousin of screenwriter and director Emerald Fennell. Toby’s maternal great-grandparents, Arthur Barney Fennell and Violet Edith Brown, were also Emerald’s paternal great-grandparents.
Yes, Robert Kebbell is a very common Pakistani name.
Oh, wow, this is another dark WASP. When I clicked on his profile, I expected his ethnicity to say something else.
I just watched him in The Entire History of You, where he beat up Tom Cullen, who shares a similar background and is also a dark WASP.
LOL.
Dark WASPs are as overrepresented in Hollywood as they are on this site. Hollywood likes casting them and I like adding them.
Dark WASPs are usually good-looking (of both genders).
I agree that it’s always interesting when they are added. :)
Excuse me Follers, I have a question for you: what females examples of “dark Wasps” are you talking about?
Thank you
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Ashley Greene, Katherine Heigl, Audrey Hepburn, Alicia Vikander, Anne Hathaway, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Keira Knightley, Cindy Crawford, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, etc.
They’re not as common as the dark WASP men in Hollywood, but there are a lot.
I use “WASP” just to mean of Northwestern European ancestry. “Dark” just means brown eyes.
thank you very much
I was actually thinking to the likes of Sandra Bullock or Demi Moore.
I struggle to remember who is Ashley Green and I don’t understand what is Jenners’ occupation, they’re nobodies to me and not even part of Hollywood industry.
@ follers
about “dark Wasps” topic, if we reduce it just to British Isles, we have to consider that people who attend drama/arts school usually not hail from working classes but from middle or upper ones, hence there are likely more chances to find people who displays a certain look, I mean tall height often combined with dark hair and light eyes who less find among poor strata of society (usually shorter with reddish complexion).
I see him more as Hispanic.
Love the UK
Looks too ethnic to be just English. Even Colin Farrell doesn’t look like that.
Yeah, he looks mixed with black.
he looks more english than Colin Farrell
Here is an Irish woman Genevieve O’Reilly, so you might get an idea of what the Irish look like. (Also played Princess Diana).

Some whites look ethnic
Wikipedia states his dad is a Pakistani engineer
I took it off Wikipedia. Thanks.
if you can edit Wikipedia there is A LOT of work to do, any profile is basically wrong about ethnicity like
Scott Glenn: “has Irish and Native American ancestry”
Willie Nelson: “Nelson’s ancestry includes English, Irish, and Cherokee”
and MANY others
It’s harder to take some things out when there’s a reliable source attached.
