*we can have a clearer perspective about his features and ethnicity with a more recent photo, once you become an adult, your traits are fully formed, in the teenage years we all tend to have a “messy” apperience since we are in the middle of our growth process….
He reminds me of a really young Orlando Bloom.
It’s a variation of the Irish surname Mulholland

“Holland” can also be a Jewish surname. Tom Holland seems fairly Jewish to me, although I know he isn’t.
I dunno..
I think the most famous “Holland” is Polish director Agnieszka Holland, whose father was Jewish.
what about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Hollande
François is descended from Bon Hollande and Marie Lemaire in the 1600s.

But that’s cheating, he has an “e”.
As Wikipedia said: “Holland” is (mainly) a toponomical name that just indicates that the first bearer (right word?) of that surname once came from the region of Holland. Toponomical names are common with Jews (Landau/er, Wiener, Homburger, Marienthal, Weininger etc.) – because they often were travelling salespeople or migrated, but not specific Jewish.
Holland has been an important surname in the British Isles since the Middle Ages. The Holland family were nobility
Holland in English comes from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘holt’ which means essentially a wooded area. Hurst is another word in English that means wood and survives in placenames as well.
Yeah interesting…especially how he is so pale and redhead but he has small brown eyes. Cute mix btw…Some Italians have that look (Michael Cera I believe).
Michael Cera is half Sicilian and half Anglo, so that mix is probably responsible for Michael’s look, which is a little different than Tom’s.
