Who do you think is very British looking?

of all the things that have sat on poor Rosie's face.......

Ireland is British?

Not all of it r2, but some of it is.

The parts on Rosie's face?

John Cleese.

No, OP. Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

The Republic of Ireland, aka IRELAND is an independent nation that covers 5/6 of the island.

Do people have any idea how utterly ignorant they sound when they don't get these simple distinctions right?

Olivia Colman

Charles Dance

Theresa May

Diana Mitford (Lady Mosely).

Fascist.

Queen Liz looks like the last Englishman.

The younger generations don’t have that same nose/eye/mouth set.

You could see all her cousins working in the law firms uptown NYC. Same face. They’ve all since “retired.”

Tom Hiddleston

R12, the last Englishman is a woman?

What's with all the "British" threads lately?

To continue what R6 wrote, Northern Ireland, while part of the United Kingdom, is not part of the island of Great Britain. Scotland, Wales and England are parts of Great Britain.

[quote] the last Englishman is a woman?

A German one at that.

Paloma Faith has mega British teefs

Hi guys!

Ok, op. So German people look British? And, of course Irish people aren't necessarily British.

He's really Irish.

Irish people, Germans, and Brits are genetically very similar

I saw a slew of American/Australian Mel Gibson clones the few times I was in the UK - specifically the dry hair, deep set eyes, and horrible smile.

The Irish (that is, people from the nation of Ireland) are genetically closer to Scots than to Brits/Anglo-Saxons, according to some sources.

The British are a very loose mix of Celt, Anglo-Saxon and Norman. Add in all the elements that've been integrated over the past hundred years and you really don't have a typical British look anymore.

Emma Thompson, unfortunately.

R6 no one said anything about northern Ireland you dipshit.

R27/OP, your original post asked about British-looking people, then you mentioned Ireland seemingly for no reason in a thread about looking British. R6 and R16 simply clarified that Ireland and Northern Ireland are separate from Britain, although Northern Ireland is part of the UK, the other constituent parts of which are British.

Speaking of English faces.....

Why are there so many hot Aussies and Americans when English men are so ugly?

Lack of sun in England.

Small gene pool in England. Although that's starting to change, so in the future perhaps the English will become more attractive.

R32 = the Fetus Sussex

Emily Blount

Jacob Rees-Mogg

Why do only arrogant and stupid people start threads on DL lately?

It seems to be a constant in the UK that if they don't have awful teeth, they have very very gummy smiles.

"Why do only arrogant and stupid people start threads on DL lately?"

Same reason they are the only ones in the thread asking idiotic questions.

Benny Hill

Rose Hanbury

Australia is the one with the small gene pool. It has about 25 million people to the UK's 67 million.

A lot of them look like Phil Collins.

Rosie O'Donnell, Delores O'Riordian look very Irish.

I nominate Simon Pegg, not just for looking extremely British but also having extremely British names (Pegg on screen, Buckingham in real life.)

Austin Powers owns this thread.

My two favorites...both more British than the royal family will ever be.

Lily Allen Pete Doherty

Keeley Hawes

James Blake is actually really chavvy looking if you look closely. There's a reason he hasn't changed his haircut in ages.

Dr. Lucy Worsley

I don’t know . I live in London now and I see so many gorgeous men every day . Way more than in my native Manhattan . There are also some that look like Prince Charles but it’s not that frequent that I see homely men.

[quote]more British than the royal family will ever be.

The German/Danish lineage is pretty diluted in the younger generations of royals. Phillip is really the only current member of the immediate family who is a purebred Protestant/Orthodox European royal. The Queen is 1/2 British and the presumed heir from each following generation has a British mother. Little Prince George's lineage is only about 3/16th German/Danish (and a little Russian from his great grandfather) if you do the math. The core of the royal family is now more British than it has been since the Reformation.

Vicky Pollard

Everyone on Little Britain.

Dominic Cooper

I agree R6. Sheer bloody ignorance.

Ed Miliband looks like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

Eric Idle

Jude Law

Charlotte Church always looked very British to me

Lesley Sharp

I know what OP means but I always get reamed when mentioning the core Brit feature but it is the tell all.

he used to epitomize "white trash hillbilly' but stylists have made him look quite dapper, "English" I'd say

Ben Kingsley

Idris Elba

Shirley Bassey

Thandie Newton

Archie Panjabi

Sade

Sadiq Khan

Zayn Malik

to name a few...

It's not so much the teeth but the flatness from their upper lip right down to the chin. Also they have those large alpine noses like certain types of Germans. The Irish often have chicken lips but certain types lean toward those pert little noses and azure electric blue eyes.

The British or English flattened mouth area referring to here? A good example would be Joan Collins, Elizabeth Hurley and Kate Winslet. Also common to some German types (not Irish or French) is the tendency for the eyes to be a dull shade of blue, overly round in shape with top and bottom eye bags. Think Maggie Smith. They're generally not an overall attractive people. Like in Italy or Sweden the men are always more attractive than their women. Some traits & features just work better on males. Guess all of those genes got clusterfucked on the Island nation. Why North Americans are usually naturally blessed in the looks dept. due to our centuries of mixing it up.

Will find better examples so you can see what we are referring to here

Bad link, R65.

Okay, here's a typical example of an English face. Daily Fail used to run this skincare ad with this face. See what I mean?

Another example using Dame Collins

It's a distinctive end of nose to top lip ratio. That's how it is easy to spot them.

Lip fillers cannot correct this facial structure. Just ends up looking really strange.

Here Kate Winslet displays the unique British characteristic

Oops. Here

Dame Maggie Smith in the day. Perfectly British.

Gina McKee who looks posh and snobby

Such a stark difference when in France and Brits would pour in near the Channel. Could see them coming a mile away. It's not just indicative or peculiar to that region though.

Traipsing through Toronto, so easy to discern a mostly English descent from a mostly French-Canadian descent person. The latter are strikingly beautiful due their early ancestors cherishing the indigenous population while the English avoided the "savages".

Bars and clubs closing at 2 in Ontario is not the sole reason for the rush into the Quebec night life. Hybridization favors NEW! IMPROVED! be it plant or animal. It's like the law of the Universe somehow.

Hugh Grant

Jeremy Brett

Benedict Cumberbatch with his long face and scarf

Gotta disagree, R72. Anglo doesn't equate to posh or aristocratic. At least to caucasians. Your girl there looks to be an Irish-English mixture. The big upper eyelids paired with the lower baggy pocketed lid.

Forgetting the English, European aristocrats have a certain distinguishing overall bone structure (body build and face) that gives them away. Everyone shows their pedigree by mere appearance. Those cut from a finer cloth recognize this in humans all over the world. That's the secret reason for them dressing down or not being so flashy. Just bone structure and posture should be enough. And it is but only to those who matter.

The Lady Manners sisters

R75, there are plenty of fug French Canadians, like Celine Dionne

There aren't plenty. Dion is the exception. Trudeau would be a better example, non?

Have a good night OP & R81. Feel better, get well and take that polar vortex in stride. You'll be out and about soon enough. We could hope.

R83 seems confused.

Kristin Scott Thomas

Helena Bonham Carter

Meryl Streep

Baroness Margaret Thatcher.

Gina McKee is beautiful. She has a sexy English vibe but I find her features look quite Irish.

Emma Watson

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson

Jeremy Irons

^ Anthony Andrews, too

Richard E Grant

Sir Roger Moore

Lily Collins

Joely Richardson

Charles Dance and Greta Scacchi

That former governor of Massachusetts William Weld.

Has every possible famous Brit been named yet? Matthew Goode? Hugh Dancy?

R89, you have to forgive a lot on this board.

Come on, we've all been afflicted by some lower class rube. Laughing our asses off earlier thinking of a sociopathic predator who didn't realize his mom was a straight up aging crack whore. Thought everyone was looking at him in public😂Thought he had to school people on never to react in anger😂

The sheriff was correct when he said "Listen, he's sick" 😅

He's a regular on comic book forums & subreddits😂

Can't cry anymore unless laughing.

Beryl Reid.

Hugh Grant.

Elton John.

Joanna Lumley.

woops

Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE on Are you being served. Everyone on Good neighbors too.

Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE on Are you being served. Everyone on Good neighbors too.

Kate Bush

OP William is also English and Scottish. Charles is part Scottish.

R110 Kate Bush is half Irish and was raised Catholic. In her older age ,she looks like the typical chubby Irish Catholic woman.

R97 Lily is half American and Jewish. She doesn't look like the typical Brit.

David Cameron's wife

Theresa May

Jeremy Corbyn

R24 The British are anyone who is from The UK. If you are ,Scottish,Northern Irish or Welsh you are a Brit. With the exception of the Irish Catholics in NI who hold Irish citizenship.

Meryl Streep

OP, ignore the perma-offended idiots— we know you meant “British isles”

The British royalty look very British despite the African ancestry.

Give Ireland back to the Irish.

Nigel Havers

James and Edward Fox

R115 all in Northern Ireland are entitled to Irish citizenship. There is no need to be from a particular religion. Many who are not from the nationalist community are getting Irish passports to retain EU movement under Brexit.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The ‘British Isles’ is an invention of the Brits: Ireland recognises no such designation.

Elizabeth Short (The Black Dahlia).

R3, last I checked, Northern Ireland is not part of the island of Britain and therefore doesn't qualify as 'British'. The United Kingdom is not the same as Great Britain.

John Lithgow. I thought he was British for the longest time.

OP, you've let the entire weekend go to waste. Tsk tsk

R79 - I tend to forget that there are people left who still think like that, you sound like some throwback to a less enlightened age. People are people not livestock to be bred from - 'people who matter'? please stop.

David Niven.

Princess Diana

Patrick Wolf

The whole cast of Monty python.

Every character on Butterflies.

Jane Leeves, Millicent Martin, and although he was Australian, Anthony LaPaglia, all from Frasier.

Hayley Mills. Julie Christie. Judy Geeson. All those dolly birds of 1960s Swinging London.

Rachel Gurney-Lady Marjorie Bellamy On Upstairs Downstairs.

Virginia Woolf

Gary Cooper, his parents were English immigrants.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, Maggie Thatcher, Nigel Farage, and Brenda Blethyn

Some of these miss the mark, but some are on the money.

Hugh Grant kinda hit the British wall pretty quickly.

Rupert Everett

Boy oh boy. The OP has been on a tear all weekend long. Day in. Day out. Go to some laundry and dusting. Get outside a little.

R122 The Ulster Scottish Presbyterians indenify themselves as British They also call themselves Scottish when asked what their ethnic identity. Irish Catholics in The North are much more likely to hold Irish citizenship (that is a gross understatement) than an Ulster Scot who doesn't see himself as Irish culturally,ethnically and politically.

Brits are not attractive, but Irish seem to be an order of magnitude uglier. Even more inbred?

YIKES!

Yes, LaPaglia is such a British name R135. I bet he’s one of the Warwickshire LaPaglias.

. . .

My point is valid R145. There is no requirement for NI residents to be from a particular religion in order to be Irish citizens. And many NI unionists are getting Irish passports due to Brexit. My sister in law among them.

Didn't Margaret Thatcher somewhat resemble a RODENT.

Councillor Mrs Nugent is "very British looking."

R151-She's also VERY LESBIAN looking.

R99, oh no, Greta Scacchi was too sexy to be “British”-looking!

Vera Brittain

Beatrix Potter

that bitch with the bad overbite who has my Oscar

Angela Lansbury has always had a very English face.

Emily Watson

Cumberpstch. Damian Lewis.

I laughed out loud the first time I saw Damian Lewis in a military uniform on Homeland. I had never seen a less American-looking white man than him. It's the equivalent of Danny Devito doing drag and trying to pass himself off as a woman.

Yet another dolt who thinks Northern Ireland is simply the uppermost part of the Republic of Ireland.

Read a book, people.

That one politician or MP who wears a top hat every day.

This guy

Kate Winslet: Prominent nose, big teeth, blue eyes, peaches and cream skin.

Victoria Tennant. English Rose

R146 is just a typical rude American. Sorry about her cuntiness. Of course, there are stunningly beautiful people in Britain and Ireland. Gorgeous people.

Beyond physical attractiveness, the Brits arguably have some of the most interesting facial characteristics and mannerisms of any ethnicity. I could sit in front of my TV for hours and days at a time watching British films on YouTube soaking in their controlled physicality, subtle facial expressions, the various accents, class mannerisms, sharp intellect, fashion, architecture, music, culture, etc. Without British influence, theatre in the Western world would be wallowing under the languid, morose influence of the dull, self-conscious French.

And to answer the question - Dame Maggie Smith, obviously.

Not a French Canadian R165 or you would know better, slacker

Or r115, the fairly large number of non Catholics from NI who also hold Irish passports. To the poster up thread mentioning Gina McKee looking British, she is actually very Irish looking. Irish surname too. She reminds me of Dervla Kirwan.

Naomi Watts is very English looking, as are Jodie Comer, Adele , Kristin Scott Thomas and Sophie Cookson. Jodie Comer does not look Eastern European at all as she has a much softer jawline and features.

Margaret Thatcher

Eddie Redmayne

Laurence Fox and his ex-wife Billie Piper are a quintessential Brit couple.

What about me? I'm London born! I'm the Face of Modern Britain!

I've also worked with BOTH Laurence Fox and Billie Piper!

Hiddleston - quintessential thin-lipped Englishman

British people are.

Rupert Graves at his floppy haired best in "Maurice". As British (and beautiful) as one can get.

Twiggy and Jacob Rees-Mogg. Everybody else looks imported.
