When I first saw him i thought he was Hispanic, possibly Mexican. You must all understand that the majority of Mexicans are mixed Native American and Spanish descent hence many men in Mexico could be his twin! Many Mexicans have other European ancestry as well, especially French, as that country controlled Mexico after the revolt against Spain. I myself am of Mexican descent, with Native American heritage, as well as Spanish (2 grandparents of only Spanish ancestry), as well as French-Italian ancestry. Meaning my ancestors were various Mexican Indian groups intermarried with Spanish, French/Italian. I have some gorgeous cousins – very exotic – some are blue-eyed blondes, some red heads, with interesting eyes, long thick eyelashes, etc. Women go crazy for my male cousins! I have a son who is handsome – white skin, black hair, very big green eyes. He is only 12 yrs old, 5’6″ tall and growing taller by the day, and i have to beat the little girls off with a stick!

HarajukuBarbie, thats a good point. I know quite a few Indonesians with Dutch heritage too. Its all because Indonesia used to be under the dutch rule. Thats why they use roman characters in their writing.
Anyone down with the Indo-Taylor theory?

I first thought that he was Indonesian…
I live in Holland and there are alot of Dutch people mixed with Indonesian so maybe that’s why he looks oriental.
But i can be wrong too, lol.
