I sent a message to the person who put the photo up asking about heritage, anyway he looks like he has a descent from northern Iran

He looks a little bit like a younger Hafaz al-Assad, but nothing that exotic really.

I can see him passing as an Iranian, but he also just looks European specifically western European. I wouldn't question him being British.

Thanks, interestingly hairy eyebrows and an alpineish look are not that rarely seen in the British isles or in Persian country so there is a link i think.

I see nothing exotic about him

Yeah, I guess I don't know if I've seen many Anglos at all with unibrows. Ukrainians have a lot of unibrows in comparison, my Anglo friend pointed that out to me and I didn't even consider. Although we're probably less likely to shave them also, but it def is not uncommon.

So it's mostly the unibrow that's giving you the vibe? What about this Anglo Australian?

I did a thread a few months back, most British people shave them off now but i wouldn't say that it is especially rare, yeah that Australian i think looks kinda exotic though more Cromagnid. Here is the thread i did before:

You could say Greek yeah though if someone said he was Syrian i doubt less hairy eyebrows would be raised
