Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba in Wicked Part One

It was only recently that I learned Cynthia is Igbo, I always assumed she was Yoruba :wanda:

 

Jennifer Aniston (Image source: Twitter)

Jennifer Aniston being Greek :lakitu:

Milla Jovovich - IMDb

For a long time, I thought she was fully Ukrainian but I learnt some years ago she's also of Serbian ancestry s:wan:


Also, I think it's pretty well known by this point for some major celebs like Nicki (Indian) or Mariah (Venezuelan)

Cameron Boyce being African American cause he was so pale and with freckles. Aaliyah having Native American heritage. Geri Halliwell being half Spanish was the most pleasing surprise.

I used to think George Ezra was a black man in his 50s or 60s when I first heard his voice on the radio. I was shocked when I found out he was a 20 something white man

when I found out that Fergie has no documented Mexican heritage I was like :eek:

 

back in the day when I found out Ariana wasn't Latina of course :dies: it was embarrassingly delayed too, I think it was 2015 or 2016 when I found out

 

when I found out that Buffy Sainte-Marie was Italian I was SHOOK :jonny5:

 

when I found out that Catherine Zeta-Jones wasn't half Greek like Marina I was like?? girl then what the hell is that last name :jonny5:

 

I was shook when I found out that Justin Long and Keanu Reeves had Italian and Asian heritage, respectively. they both look like they could be part of my family (we're 3/4 Jewish :tornado: people used to tell my brother Jake that he looked like Keanu, and one of my best friends literally told me last night that I remind her of Justin lol) I think I just assumed for some reason that they were both part Jewish or something

 

similarly with Jennifer Tilly! my best friend in MD looks EXACTLY like her (she's incredibly beautiful, I believe she shorter than Jennifer though) and from what we know she's mostly white and potentially 1/8th Shawnee Native American. Jennifer is Wasian :deadbanana:

 

when I found out that Caroline Polachek was Jewish I was shook :deadbanana: I was like damn I had NO idea she was part of the tribe lol. I thought, deadass, that she was just Polish and Czech :tornado: but it does make sense at the end of the day tbh
