Really? I agree with the Balkans & Southern Europe, but I definetly don't think he would be able to pass as Irish, British or Iberian/French. I don't even think he would probably pass as being Italian:

Not Poland I think. Mainly because of his eyes and the general Med ''off'' vibe.

If he was walking in the street of those countries, I doubt anybody would point him out as being foreign.

He has a very "Balkanic" face. Anywhere in SE Europe and Turkey. I wouldn't doubt him if he said he was German or Irish or French for example either. Swedish or Russian I would question.

I'm Irish, and can definetly say he doesn't look like a typical Irish or British person whatsoever. His look is much more Eastern/South Eastern European. If he was lighter and had lighter hair he would probably look Polish/northern Russian. But definetly not Spanish, Portuguese, Irish or British. He just does not have a Western European look:

They have a very different look imo.

From Polish perspective he does look Western though. I would picture him in France before any Balkanic/Central-East Euro country to be honest. But than there are many people with these looks from the Central or East (especially Croatia and Slovenia)

I think he would probably fit in somewhere like Turkey before western Europe tbh, his eyes and nose look slightly eastern influenced to me, and i've met people from Turkey with a slightly similar look:

I just can't see him being French. He looks very south eastern European to me, like a very pigmented Pole/Russian with black hair. I can't really see him passing in nothern/central/western Europe. He certainly doesn't have a Spanish look to him. And hazel/green eyes combined with black hair and olive skin are quite typical of near east countries.

I agree with SE Europe and Turkey, but his nose and eyes don't look French or Irish to me. I just can't see it for some reason. French people I've always though looked quite Spanish/British/Irish, at least the ones I've met when I've visited France, and I certainly don't think he looks Spanish. I would never guess him to be Spanish, he looks more Russian/south eastern European/Turkish or even Georgian than Spanish imo. His eyes remind me of some Turkish people I've met in the past, many of them seem to have a similar eye colour.

To me he doesn't look Russian or eastern Europe at all. I would bet him on being French, Irish, or German faster than Russian. Something about how his face is put together but his eye color is green which is certainly common everywhere in Europe.

No I agree, he doesn't look Polish or Russian. But I think he looks kind of like a pigmented version of a Polish/Russian person, although he definetly wouldn't be able to pass there.
Here are some Polish people:

I guess it's the eye shape and the length of his nose which is kind of throwing me off, most French people I have met tend to have more round eyes if that makes sense, his eye shape looks somewhat middle eastern to me if I'm completely honest, even slightly eastern Asian influenced which seems to be the case for many Turkish people, but not many western Europeans at all. I just tend to think eastern people (from North and southern Europe, and western Asia) tend to have a slightly different facial structure to those from western Europe, but maybe it's just my opinion. I think if the Polish people I posted where darker, the would probably have a similar look to him.
