10 Viet Celebs Who Don't Look Vietnamese

Contrary to the perception that many Westerners have of Vietnamese being a homogeneous society, here is a strong argument that it is otherwise.  Looking back in our history, Vietnam is a country that has been colonized and occupied by several foreign powers starting with the Chinese, Portuguese, French, Japanese and Americans.  The resettling of Vietnamese people in various countries after the Vietnam War has resulted in the Vietnamese diaspora consisting of strong overseas communities in all four corners of the world.  Even the geographic location of Vietnam being situated in between China and India alone plays an important role in the diverse ethnic makeup of Vietnamese people.  This is why it is not so uncommon to see a Vietnamese person with predominantly European, South Asian or even African features.  The 10 Viet celebs listed here in alphabetical order are familiar faces among Vietnamese entertainers easily recognized in Vietnamese communities all over the world.  You might not think they look Vietnamese, but indeed they are Vietnamese.
