Classic Mediterranean face according to the "old" anthropologists.
Iberian no doubt, even if you didn't post a picture with that phrase on it,
Let's not forget that some British people overlap on some Spanish people. I avow I was swinging between some northern Iberian and some "Brit", even if these bones features are by far lesser present in Britain, but it's the supposed light eyes and maybe skin pigmentation who pushed me to hesitate.
I agree with you. Most British islanders don't seem to look like Iberians. But sometimes here in Chile I see a guy that reminds me of Rowen Atkinson,Mr Bean. [emoji4]Sorry, Moesan, I have to disagree.
Even British people who have that kind of pigmentation don't look like the poster's grandfather and don't look Iberian at all to me.
Clive Owen:
High Grant
Even Jack Whitehall:
The soft bone structure, the set of the eyes, it's all "off".
aside the topic (or not?), Clive OWEN is surely of Welsh origin, if I rely on name and surname and even face?
Concerning the Angela's answer, I didn't hesitate too much,in fact, but I maintain some british people (not so rarely) can be confused with typical Iberian people concerning face bones. They even show different subtypes of South. But in no way I would affirm it's a too common case.
Some of the British people Angela posted have in fact too wide inferior jaw to correspond to the pure 'mediter' type. And Hugh Grant is not in the criteria of small 'mediter' neither. Too long face too high chin. Rather some 'nordic' input, maybe more than a so called 'atlanto-mediter' one. ATW when I speak of small gracile 'mediter' I don't speak of the 'atlanto-mediter'.
I was just illustrating that the dark hair and blue eyes in the original post does not indicate that person looks British.
If we're talking about small Med types in the British Isles we've talked about it before.
What came to my mind immediately was David Tennant-Scottish:
He could pass in Southern Europe, but I wouldn't see a picture of him blind and say that.
Do you mean someone like Paul McGann? Again, I wouldn't look at him and say he has to be Spanish. Perhaps you can give me an example.
Jack Whitehall has more soft flesh traits than soft bones traits in my mind. As a whole don't evok South too much. BTW Beard can abuse us sometimes.
All that is just my thoughts, no more. and types are idealizations of common features among some people, not ethnic per se (very often a person is between types more than on one type, I know you agree on that. Ethnies are close to one stereotypical type, or are known for the specific crossing of stereotypical types not shared by other ethnies as a whole (always individual exceptions). Some ethnies are even very difficult to identify after too much components in the crossing, then only a few individuals are identified, but ironically with OTHER ethnies!
