    Thats a cool background, surprised to see he is one quarter lebanese and also has all these british ancestry too, he looks quite like a perfect 50/50 italian-german mix. I thought Vaughn was an artistic name.

    No Welsh ancestry? Vaughn is usually a Welsh surname.

    Always figured he was Italian or had some greek Med mixture in him.
