The Thin White Duke look

Since coming to England, I've come up with a theory... you can often tell if people are English by looking at them.  One common look for guys is what I call the Thin White Duke look. Hair is mousy blond/ light brown. Face is angular and may be longish or squarish with a definite nose. Hair cut is floppy. The best examples of this look are thin as well.

For example the original and the best: David Bowie


Then there's my current hero: Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand

And his older cousin (not really, but still) Brett Anderson from Suede

 

And Matt Bellamy from Muse looks rather similar too (if you pick the right photo)

Moving from music to acting, I love Arthur Darvill (from Doctor Who and other things) and think he's a version of the Thin White Duke thing...



Obviously these guys don't look like twins or even brothers and some of them aren't fully English by birth, but do you see what I'm talking about? And (sigh) aren't they cute?
