At first, I wasn't sure if "racially ambiguous" was the best way to describe the following celebrities, as I really didn't want to offend anybody on the Internet – which, I've learned, is very easy to do. I won't say much else in this introduction because I want to save this article of any language that might be considered offensive. What I will say, though, is by viewing the following roster of celebrities, I'd be willing to bet a very handsome sum of money that you'd never guess their ancestries. Want in? Place your bets.
1. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The wrestler turned box office bait is of Nova Scotian and Samoan ancestry. He is not, as some have theorized, the mortal son of Zeus.
2. Rosario Dawson
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
Rosario Dawson, who was nearly nude during and looking real good in "Sin City," is an appealing combination of Irish, Native-American, Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban descent.
3. Rita Ora
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
Rita Ora, the British pop star whose popularity in North America is questionable at best, was born in 1990 to Albanian parents, but was raised in England.
4. Jenni "JWoww" Farley
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
It would appear that the busty guidette (now mother) of "Jersey Shore" fame was never really a guidette at all. JWoww is actually a suspiciously Italian-looking mix of Spanish and Irish ancestry.
5. Drake
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
Canadian rapper Drake is only half black. His father is African-American and his mother is a white, blonde, wealthy, Jewish lady.
6. Zoe Saldana
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The tall and sinewy actress that is Zoe Saldana is Dominican and Puerto Rican but identifies as black, making things much easier. For all of us.
7. Vanessa Hudgens
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
Better known for her sex-appeal than her acting career, Vanessa Hudgens (former girlfriend of just-as-pretty Zac Efron) is a very appealing mix of Filipino, Irish and Native American.
8. Wentworth Miller
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The "Prison Break" and "Legends Of Tomorrow" star Wentworth Miller is actually half black, though most would guess he's Caucasian.
9. Bruno Mars
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
Nobody in Hollywood (nay, this planet) is as racially ambiguous as the incredibly short but charming, Bruno Mars. The crooner's genealogy is a muddled mix of many ethnicities, including: Puerto Rican, Ukrainian, Hungarian and Filipino.
10. Mila Kunis
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
What wonderful mix of ancestry is responsible for the beauty that is Mila Kunis? It's no mix at all, actually. Kunis is Ukrainian and Ukrainian only.
11. Keanu Reeves
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The actor (can we still even call him that?) is a bizarre combination of Hawaiian, Chinese, English and Portuguese descent.
12. Jason Biggs
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
Biggs, whose justifiably called himself "The Jewiest looking non-Jew," is actually Italian, despite primarily playing Jewish characters.
13. Frankie Muniz
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
You're probably asking: "Why the hell is Frankie Muniz on this list, he's just your standard white guy," right? Wrong. Muniz is actually half Italian and Puerto Rican.
14. Alexis Bledel
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The same thing can be said about Alexis Bledel as was said about Muniz. But just as surprising, the incredibly Wonder Bread white-looking actress is actually Mexican and Argentinian.
15. Jesse Williams
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
You may not know this guy, but your girlfriend certainly does. The actor's mother is Swedish-American, and his father is African-American and Seminole.
16. Nicole Richie
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The more rebellious half of "The Simple Life" series was adopted by Lionel Richie. This is no secret by any means. However, her ancestry boasts a colorful mix of Afro-American, Creole, and Spanish descent.
17. Derek Jeter
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The baseball legend can thank his Irish/German mother and African-American father, at least partly, for his athletic talents and lady-killer looks.
18. Shannon Elizabeth
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
Shannon Elizabeth, the token "hot girl" of the "American Pie" franchise is half Arab and not, as the film's character (Nadia) suggests, Czechoslovakian.
19. Vin Diesel
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The "Fast and Furious" actor's mother is Scottish, English and German, and his father is African-American. He describes himself as a "Person of color," and I guess he's not wrong.
20. Adriana Lima
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
Adriana Lima, the popular Victoria's Secret model is just about the closest you can get to perfection. Her ancestry is the loveliest mix of African, West Indian, Japanese, and Portuguese.
21. Maya Rudolph
![The 21 Most Racially Ambiguous Celebrities]()
The SNL alum and comedienne's father is Ashkenazi Jewish, and her mother is African-American.
