According to statistics, children born to parents of different nationalities evoke more positive feelings in those around them than those who do not have mixing of blood. Therefore, it becomes clear why there are so many multinational stars on the world stage and in the cinema. Today we want to remember celebrities and find out, thanks to which "cocktail of genes" they acquired such a striking appearance.

"The Rock" Johnson

The incredibly charming smile of Dwayne Douglas Johnson is inherited from the mother of Ata Mayvia, and the tall height of 196 cm was passed on to him from the father of the famous wrestler Rocky Johnson. The family of the actor's mother has Polynesian roots and comes from the island of Samoa. But the father's family includes African Americans of New Zealand, who are also called black Nova Scotia. This mixing of blood not only gave rise to a unique appearance, but also formed excellent mental abilities. Dwayne Johnson, in addition to a sports career in American football and wrestling, the future actor was able to graduate from the University of Miami and receive a bachelor's degree in criminology and psychology. Well, the acting career of this star has more than 40 films and 11 TV series. His most famous works are The King of Scorpions, The Mummy Returns, Hercules, and the Fast and Furious film series.

Zendaya

The 24-year-old screen star, singer and model was born in the United States to Claire Marie Stermer and Kazembe Ajamu. As you probably already understood from the names of the parents, Zendaya's pedigree is diverse. And how! On the father's side, Nigerian, Macedonian and Icelandic blood was mixed, and in the mother's line everything is more or less European - just German and Scottish roots can be traced. Such a multinational carpet became an excellent help for starting a career: at first she played small roles in theatrical productions, starred in commercials, participated in dance shows, and then the film company Marvel Studios became interested in her and the girl was invited to one of the main roles of Michelle "MJ" Jones in " Spider-Man."

Anya Taylor-Joy

The girl who starred in the drama Queen's Move grew up in a family that has absorbed several cultures. Ani's mother was born in South Africa to a family of immigrants from England. She also has Spanish ancestors. She spent her early youth in Zambia. But the father of the future star is a Scottish Argentinian. The father's homeland became the first home for baby Ani and her brothers and sisters - for a long time they lived in Buenos Aires and learned Spanish perfectly. Well, then she studied at an English school. Taylor-Joy has three citizenships at once: Great Britain, USA and Argentina. Due to the move, the graceful and plastic girl could not build a career as a ballerina, but found herself in the role of an actress. For her role in the TV series "The Witches" she was named "Rising Star". And Anya is also good at rap.

Taika Waititi

This New Zealander has several talents. He became famous not only as a comedian from the duo The Humourbeasts, but also as an actor, producer, filmmaker and Academy Award winner for Best Screenplay (Jojo Rabbit, 2020). Telling his pedigree, Taika never ceases to admire the intricacies of destinies. Relatives on the maternal side were Jews who miraculously escaped the pogroms in revolutionary Russia and moved to England. There they mixed with the Irish, and then they were "insanely" brought to the opposite part of the world - to New Zealand. And, according to the actor, it happened for a reason - it was there that his mother met his father, a descendant of the Maori people.

Margot Robbie

Life is funny sometimes. The girl was born into a family of German settlers, who also had Serbian relatives. And the Scottish surname Robbie was received by her from Mike's father, a farmer from the town of Southport. Until her 17th birthday, Margot lived with her brothers and sister in the village house of her grandparents in the Australian outback, and only after graduating from college she moved to Melbourne. It was there that she became the star of the series, and then in 2011 she moved to Los Angeles, where she already gained worldwide fame.

Emma Stone

One of the most talented actresses and one of the highest paid was born into the family of housewife Christa Yeager and contractor Jeff Stone. On her paternal side, she received Swedish blood, and on her maternal side, German and British. Her ancestors lived on the East Coast of America for a long time. But they owe their last name to the rocky island of Ellis. The actress said that after moving to it, her family took this name.

Jeremy Allen White

The actor, known for his role as Philip Gallagher in the TV series Shameless, told reporters that he has strong roots in the state of North Carolina. His close relatives are the descendants of the first settlers from Germany and England, who mastered these lands. But my paternal grandmother migrated from Ukraine.

Jennifer Aniston

Baby Jenny became the second child of actor John Aniston. This surname is only a pseudonym, but the real one - Yannis Anastassakis - was given to him as a native of the Greek island of Crete. After moving to America, John-Janis met and married Nancy Doe. Jennifer's mother was also not purebred - she was Scottish with an admixture of Italian and Albanian blood. You know the result - Jennifer Aniston followed in her father's footsteps, became famous on the TV series "Friends" and became the idol of young people.

Hannah John-Kamen

The British actress also has an unusual appearance. And although she was born in the small English town of Anlabi, the girl is not at all a native resident. Her mother was a Norwegian fashion model in the past, and her father is a native of Nigeria. He was educated in a northern country and immediately got a job as a forensic psychologist. So Hannah is the first in this unusual multicultural family to choose a career as an actress. She can be seen in popular TV series like Game of Thrones, Brave New World, as well as Ready Player One and Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Wentworth Miller

Wentworth, who became recognizable after his role in the TV series "Escape", also claims to be the most multinational actor. In his family tree, seven nationalities completely different in their original place of residence were mixed at once. So, among his ancestors were Russians, Caucasians, Dutch, French, Lebanese, Africans and Jamaicans.

Timothy Chalamet

On the side of his mother, Timothy can be called a Jew. His grandparents moved to New York from Belarus and Austria-Hungary. But from the pope, he inherited French and English blood. During his summer holidays, Timothy often spent the summers with his French grandmother in a town near Lyon. Subsequently, the actor shared that his stay there made him think about intercultural identity. “I was completely imbued with the culture, I even had dreams in French,” he said. At the same time, the actor is called an icon of the American style. So incest was clearly good for this young man.
