It is believed that people in whose veins the blood of various nations flows are endowed with not only an unusual and quite spectacular appearance, but also have a huge number of talents.
No one has been able to confirm this hypothesis experimentally, but one can trace an amazing trend: world stars, whose ancestors were representatives of different nationalities or races, are endowed with a breathtaking appearance, which, among other abilities, has become their trump card in achieving professional success and worldwide fame .
We present 10 stars that owe their beauty to a multinational origin.
10. Meghan Markle
The famous actress, and now the wife of Prince Harry Meghan Markle, became popular thanks to her work in the film “Force Majeure”.
A lot of different blood flows in Megan's veins: the father of the star is a US citizen with Irish and Dutch roots, and his mother is African American. This mixture gave the future princess a beautiful skin color and very expressive facial features.
Interestingly, it was the white-skinned father Megan who always taught her daughter how to stand up for herself in cases of racial discrimination. Once he even bought her a Barbie family, in which the dolls had different skin colors.
It turned out later, a caring father could not find a ready-made international set, so he had to buy several and make a kind of mix to make him resemble their real family.
9. Lenny Kravitz
The father of the legend of world music was of Jewish origin and was a native of Odessa. Lenny's mother was from the Bahamas. The musician himself was named after his uncle, Leonard, who died tragically in the Korean War.

This illustrious Latin American singer was born in Barranquilla, Colombia. She is the only child with Nidia Ripoll and William Mebarak Shadid. On her father’s side, her ancestors came from Lebanon to the United States, where her father was already born. On the mother's side, Shakira has Spanish (Catalan and Castilian) and Italian roots.
Undoubtedly, the Mediterranean roots of this singer made themselves felt, and this applies not only to her natural magnetism and external charm.
