There is an opinion that people in whose veins the blood of different nations flows are endowed not only with an unusual and rather spectacular appearance, but also have a huge amount of talent.
So far, no one has been able to confirm this hypothesis empirically, but an amazing trend can be traced: world stars, whose ancestors were representatives of different nationalities or races, are endowed from birth with a breathtaking appearance, which, among other abilities, has become a trump card for them in achieving professional success and worldwide fame .
Introducing 10 stars who owe their beauty to multinational origins.
10 Megan Markle
Famous actress and now wife of Prince Harry Meghan Markle became popular thanks to her work in the film Suits.
There are many different bloods flowing in Megan’s veins: the star’s father is a US citizen with Irish and Dutch roots, and her mother is African American. This mixture endowed the future princess with beautiful skin color and very expressive features.
Interestingly, it was Megan’s white father who always taught his daughter to be able to stand up for herself in cases of racial discrimination. Once he even bought her a Barbie family, in which the dolls had different skin colors.
Later it turned out that the caring father could not find a ready-made international set, so he had to buy a few and make a kind of mix so that he began to resemble their real family.
9. Lenny Kravitz
The father of the legend of world music was of Jewish origin and came from Odessa. Lenny’s mother was from the Bahamas. The musician himself was named after his uncle, Leonard, who tragically died in the Korean War.
It is curious that the paternal grandfather of the world-famous performer hails from Ukraine, like his great-grandfather, who was born in Kyiv.
Such an unusual combination of Slavic, Jewish and South American blood gave Leni a very expressive appearance that drove millions of fans around the world crazy, just like his songs.
8. Shakira
This celebrated Latin American performer was born in Barranquilla, Colombia. She is the only child of Nydia Ripoll and William Mebarak Shadid. On her father’s side, her ancestors came from Lebanon to the United States, where her father had already been born. On the mother’s side, Shakira has Spanish (Catalan and Castilian) and Italian roots.
Undoubtedly, the Mediterranean roots of this singer made themselves felt, and this applies not only to her natural magnetism and external charm.
First of all, such an explosive mixture of blood gave Shakira incredible plasticity, thanks to which this girl is able to perform any dance movements. And not every professional dancer can repeat her famous “dance of the hips”.
7. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
This big guy is known around the world as a wrestler and film actor. By the way, in August 2018, Johnson took second place in the top of the highest paid actors of the year according to Forbes magazine. After all, in just a year he was able to earn 124 million dollars.
Dwayne’s mother is of Polynesian descent from the Samoan Islands, and his father is of Black Nova Scots origin.
Dwayne’s unusual appearance undoubtedly became his ticket to world fame. After all, it was the texture and expressive facial features that made the former wrestler noticeable to film producers.
6. Beyoncé
The father of the famous singer is African American, and her mother is Creole. Also in her family were Indians and French.
The beauty of this girl is original, standing out from the entire world pop constellation: pleasant skin color, expressive soft features, mouth-watering forms – this “set” drives her fans around the world crazy. And all thanks to the ancestors who do not want to converge with representatives of their nationality!
5. Angelina Jolie
The legendary “Mrs. Smith” inherited from her ancestors the blood of several peoples: on the father’s side – Slovak and German, on the mother’s side – French, Dutch and German.
The appearance of this film star allowed her to become one of the most desirable women in the world. This is especially true of large and incredibly beautiful eyes, and, of course, plump lips, which have become her hallmark.
4. Keanu Reeves
The nationality of this is not easy to determine. His mother is British, his father is an American with English, Portuguese, Irish, Chinese and Hawaiian blood in his veins. AT
from such a cocktail endowed the star of “Konstantin” and “Johnny Mnemonic” with an unusually charming appearance. And even at his venerable age, Reeves continues to be considered one of the most attractive actors in Hollywood.
3. Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is a true legend of the world pop scene. Her spectacular appearance, soulful vocals and amazing repertoire elevated her to the Olympus of world pop music.
Mariah has Irish, Venezuelan and African blood in her veins. Probably, this “explosive mixture” predetermined the original character and indomitable temperament of the singer.
However, along with the positive moments in her life, Mariah’s nationality brought many difficulties. From childhood, the girl felt the contemptuous attitude of her neighbors, prone to racist ideas, towards herself and her family. There was everything: insults, far-fetched nit-picking and even an encroachment on the life and health of her loved ones. Unable to withstand such an attitude, the girl’s family decided to move to a quieter place – Greenlawn.
2. Naomi Campbell
This catwalk legend, actress and singer is of Afro-Jamaican descent on her mother’s side. The “black panther” never knew her own father – he left her mother when the future star was a few months old.
A colorful and unusually beautiful appearance allowed Naomi to storm the world’s leading catwalks from the age of 15. By the way, she became the first black model to appear on the covers of the French and English editions of the popular Vogue and Time magazines.
1. Halle Berry
Holly’s mother is an American of British and German origin, and her father is African American. Holly’s parents broke up when the girl was barely 4 years old. And she got her name thanks to the name of the Halle supermarket.
