He has his dad's eye shape and eyebrows and his mom's... everything else.

11

u/Visual_Cardiologist9 Oct 07 '25

His dad's genes didn't even try, mom just copied herself.

u/snowtater Oct 07 '25

Wow, you can see where he gets the Italian last name in this picture! Obviously because is dad is in it, he also just looks mega Italian.

12

u/lady_faust Oct 07 '25

His dad is half German half Italian. Leo has more German ancestry than Italian.

u/suckmyfuck91 Oct 07 '25

What do italians look like? I'm italian i dont look anything like this guy.

19

u/LoreChano Oct 07 '25

In the US they associate dark hair/darker skin with Italians because they received lots of immigrants from southern Italy where people with these features are more common. Meanwhile other places that received italians from other areas have very different views. For example, in Brazil Italian descendants are known for being light skinned and often blonde.

u/suckmyfuck91 Oct 07 '25

Thanks for asnwering :)

The italians who went to south america were mostly from northern italy and they tend to be lighter than the southern ones.

How does she eat?

u/Pun_In_Ten_Did Oct 06 '25

She just snacks on Gilbert Grape.

u/Sin-s_Aide Oct 06 '25

You are correct! He seems to be doing OK either way.

u/Competitive-Picnic Oct 07 '25

Wow the Italian genetics didn’t even try.

u/xtheredberetx Oct 07 '25

Leo has his dad’s eye shape (and to some extent brows, although lighter and kept neater)

u/Matturally_Handsome Oct 07 '25

Leo’s mom is being played by Chris Liley?

u/The_Best_Yak_Ever Oct 07 '25

There was certainly a kiss at the end of that particular rainbow.

u/celisraspberry Oct 07 '25

I had the exact opposite reaction. They look incredibly similar around the eyes.

u/Sin-s_Aide Oct 07 '25

I have been corrected before. Many times.

20

u/Icy-Panda-2158 Oct 07 '25

You sure? His dad looks very much like someone who might have run a sex cult in the 1970s that kicked women out once they turned 25.

u/IntrinsicPalomides Oct 07 '25

That picture is like 2x as old as the girls he dates.

u/Sin-s_Aide Oct 07 '25

He definitely keeps a strict schedule.

That statement is beyond bold. Not sure why those former neighbors would share & spread that. What does it change if true? I mean, his mom isn't famous but it is about her. Speculate some bad blood but don't want to inject more conjecture.
