Dark where? He's still white af, the same exact type Hollywood constantly shoves down everyone's throat.

 

That said he is hot. But too perfect looking.

His last name is literally Morrone. It's obvious what his ancestry is.

Italians are mixed with Middle Eastern people brought by the Roman Empire. Before the Imperial era of Romans, Southern Italians used to plot genetically close with Northern Italians and Southern French.

 

This admixture has a north-south cline. The Southern ones are around 35%-40% Middle Easterner while the Northern Italians are around 10% Middle Easterner.    

 

Dark for Euro standards means black hair and olive skin.

His name literally means "dark skinned" and "Eastern".  You don't have to be dark as night to be considered dark skinned. In his part of the world, he is dark and atypical for an Italian (contrary to what many Americans seem to picture Italians actually look like). And the saying "tall, dark and handsome" is one created by Hollywood to refer to darker white people.

 

Also, Hollywood does not shove down Middle Eastern/West Asian/North African/Eurasians phenotypes down our throats. The majority of male actors pushed in Hollywood are white men that are Anglo and Nordic types albeit with layers of fake tan to look bronze. The closest phenotype to him in Hollywood is usually Jewish or Hispanic actors that look like they're from Eurasia (like Oscar Issac).

His features scream Mediterranean European and Southern Italian in particular the only difference he is slightly more tanned than the average Italian.

He can pass in Lebanon or Israel at most but not further than that.

Any further than that wouldn't be Eurasia. He can pass as Turkish, Lebanese, Israeli, Syrian and even lighter-skinned Iraqis or North Africans. He would never fit in with Gulf Arabs because they're a different phenotype.

 

And the bolded part of your post is exactly what I'm referring to. Most Americans truly believe that Ariana Grande with her spraypainted skin is what a typical Italian looks like.

The man is hot, you cannot deny that.
