Classify British actor Michael Cane

Please give me your impression of the great Michael Caine, the most famous Cockney in the world.

I would say that he is an Anglo-Saxon with a very strong Brunn element...if not an outright Brunn.

Yes, he's an Anglo-Saxon mixed with Brunn.

I would have thought Anglo Saxon outright with only the required amount of Brunn to complete that type, with no extra added. He's too fair to be a Brunn outright and I would think predominately Nordic. He certainly does not look Irish in the least as the "Brunn" look is associated with looking "Irish".

Cranium is too wide and rounded and face short and wide to be Anglo-Saxon, although he may have some contribution there. He looks sub-brachycephalic to me. I get the impression of a significant Borreby strain in him. Also, a slight Dinaric look to his nose and eyes. I suppose he is a mix of the 3, with Borreby the majority. In general I would say he's tending towards UP than Nordic.

Hmmm, Brunns can be rather fair in my estimation and I can picture (or hear rather

) an Irish accent on this fellow...

He's a bit to rugged to be predominantly Nordic I'd say. Certainly "Nordish" though....very much so actually.

It's interseting, his head does look a bit wider and more rounded in the pic where he is older (the autographed one)...but then I look at the first picture where he is younger and it seems much less so. Also, his face appears longer in the younger pics.

I agree that he tends more toward UP than Nordic....whichever strain of UP that might be.
