Erwan is half Filipino and half French, living in the Philippines. Looking at him, you wouldn’t have guessed that this hunk once weighed 110kg.
After a breakup in his college days, he decided that could never find another woman unless he changed his image. So he started working out and controlled his love for food by exploring tasty, healthy dishes.
Now, he runs a successful travel and food blog called ‘The Fat Kid Inside’, owns several dining establishments, and has hosted his own cooking show.
Solenn is Erwan’s sister and she too is half Filipino and half French.
She is a VJ, host, model, singer, painter, fashion designer… Honestly, what can this lady not do?
She’s even an official castaway of Survivor Philippines – that appearance landed her even more on-screen opportunities.
No one could’ve ever guessed that Tyson is 48 years old.
His Chinese Jamaican genes must be what he has to thank for his eternal youth and good looks – which haven’t always done him good. When he was younger, his peculiar eyes and high cheekbones were a subject of ridicule from his classmates.
But that same man has become a cover boy and is the face of Ralph Lauren, so who’s laughing now?
Tyson, like many of his model peers, has also ventured into acting, though he admits his “pretty boy” face sometimes gets in the way.
Though Zayn was born and raised in Bradford, West Yorkshire, he is actually half Pakistani and half English. He was discovered on talent search competition The X Factor, where he later became part of One Direction.
Many awards and years later, the hunk decided to leave the band to pursue his own career as a solo artist, with the support of supermodel ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid.
The hottie has his own line of clothes, having worked with fashion designer Donatella Versace to create the Zayn Malik x Versus collection.
Chrissy is loud and proud about her Asian heritage. The 33-year-old model is half Norwegian and half Thai. She was actually discovered by a photographer while working in a surf shop in Hawaii. She’s most known for gracing the covers of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issues
When she’s not modelling, she cooks, writes a cookbook, or co-hosts the very entertaining Lip Sync Battle alongside LL Cool J.
One thing we love about Chrissy Teigen (besides her sass and wit), is her relationship with John Legend that makes our hearts burst.
Chanel Iman
Victoria Secret model, Chanel Iman is half Korean and half African American. Her unique look had her booking modelling jobs at the tender age of 12.
In 2006, she won the third place in Ford’s Supermodel of the World contest – but Chanel is more than just a pretty face. She’s passionate for charity work.
As an advocate for education, she sets up primary schools in impoverished rural areas in Tanzania and Uganda. She sponsors several young Kenyan girls and contributes funds for their daily necessities and academic tuition. Yas girl!
Though everyone knows his hits like Uptown Funk, not many people know of Bruno’s melting pot heritage. His father is half Puerto Rican and half Jewish while his mother is Filipino with Spanish ancestry. A truly diverse mix!
The Hawaiian-born singer grew up doing shows around the island dressed as… none other than Elvis Presley.
His performance must-haves? Wet wipes and wine.
