William was born in Havana, Cuba, and moved to Miami, Florida, U.S. during his teen years, where he was raised by his mother, Bárbara Levy. William’s maternal grandfather was Jewish. It appears that the rest of William’s ancestry is Cuban/Spanish-Cuban. William was raised in a household without religion. He has practiced Catholicism since the late 2000s. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen.
William has two children with his former partner, Mexican-American model and actress Elizabeth Gutiérrez.
William has said:
My grandfather went to Cuba when he was a little boy. He was Jewish. My grandmother was from Spain. They met. My grandfather didn’t care if he was Jewish. He fell in love with her and he married her… My grandfather is a very great man. He was the one who did everything for me because I didn’t have my dad next to me. I grew up with my mom, with my grandmother and him.
William’s maternal grandmother is named Eusebia Noguera.

This guy doesn’t look white at all. He looks like a Spanish man with light hair and eyes. If he had been darker in his hair and eyes everybody would say he looks latino. Just like Javier Bardem

You’re right. Cubans in the States are an ———- —–. Spaniards don’t even really claim them the way they try to make it seem.
Most cubans are full white it seems, the ones that are bi and triracial are minority. Almost every cuban that is famous in the US looks totally spanish, like Andy Garcia.
I don’t think anyone in the States considers Andy Garcia white
