These Mixed-Race Celebrities Will Leave You Mesmerized

We all have often come across people we find annoyingly difficult to take our eyes off. However, have you ever noticed that those who have roots from more than one race are most of the times much gorgeous to look at. Maybe it’s because they are an amalgamation of the best of both. Or, is it just me who thinks that?

Whichever side you may be on, we have compiled a list of twenty-one celebrities who belong to more than one race and will surely compel you to reconsider your opinion.

Ne-Yo

Shaffer Chimere Smith aka Ne-Yo needs no introduction. He won over the millions of hearts in the world by songwriting Let Me Love You. We all have danced to the tunes of Stay and In My Own Words, but many of us would be unaware that Ne-Yo didn’t have a very happy childhood as most of us did. His parents estranged when he was quite young and was raised solely by his African-American mother. His father is part Chinese and part African-American.
