I wouldnt be surprised, that as an Aussie, he has some Maori somewhere, though he could still favour a dark Brit. Russel Crowe has some Maori. If he was American, people would assume him to be part Native, I'm sure. I used to think he was gorgeous with such a sexy voice!

On Crowe, from IMDB Although his surname is of Irish extraction, he lists his background as "Norwegian and Maori."strange, I never saw any Maori influence in Crowe, who knows how distant it is in him, or if he's just making things up. funny, the 3rd pic across of Hutchence sort of looks like Eddie Vedder, the one directly below it looks like a wavy haired Kurt Cobain. he might have some maori background, don't know much about his family history though.

Michael has no Maori Background whatsoever. His father was an English immigrant and his mother is Irish-Australian. In his posthumous biography, his sister (the author) attributes his dark looks to their mother's "Dark Irish" side.

Xenophobic, Russell Crowe is from New Zealand. Michael Hutchence is from Australia. Australia doesn't have Maoris. [They have Australian Aborigines.] So it's doubtful that Hutchence has any Maori--since he's not from the right country. You're Scottish. I'm American. Both of our countries apparently are guilty of the same mistake. All those nations "Down Under" are just kind of lumped together, Kiwis often [erroneously] called Australians and vice-versa.
P.S.--I've seen Hutchence's parents in an interview. They're very fair and don't look like they have any Aborigine blood whatsoever. He probably has recessive paleolithic genes from Briton.
P.P.S.--One poster on this board made the silly statement once that anyone with a rounded nose [at the tip] MUST have negro blood. Mi9chael Hutchence has exactly that kind of nose. I wonder if anyone has ever accused him of being a secret mulatto. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha

I assumed there may have been something else because the post seemed just too straightforward for a simple classification and often in these cases, there's perhaps some kind of skeleton waiting behind the scenes.

I was just looking for his subrace. I thought it was obvious that he wasn't of mixed race. Otherwise I would have posted this thread in the guess race/ethnicity/nationality section. Besides, I don't think there has been much racial mixing between white Aussies and Aborigines. Not that it doesn't ever happen. INXS' image and especially that of Michael Hutchence was heavily based on their being Australian. If Michael had any Aboriginal roots, they would definitey have been played up in the press. Below is a photo of Michael with his sister and father. Michael clearly looks like his dad Kelland, a British immigrant.

Here's another family photo. Michael with his mom (who is clearly white) and sister.

It is funny looking at the Hutchence family. I always thought Michael was adopted as he doesn't look like his sister and brother. Now I am not so sure. There are many Aborigines who are partly caucasoid, some wholly so phenotypically, but they are usually culturally Aborigine as they come from Aboriginal families and have more Aboriginal looking relatives. With Aborigines, it is similar to American blacks, in that those who pass as caucasoid have to dismiss their Aboriginal relatives. It doesn't happen very often as Aboriginal family structures are very strong. Michael Hutchence has no Aboriginal facial traits. There are lots of Maoris in Australia. New Zealand and Australia have an open immigration policy between the two countries. Megan Gale, the Australian model, is part Maori. Race mixing in NZ is very common hence Russel Crowe. For your reference NZ is a three hour plane trip at 12 000 m from the eastern seaboard of Australia.

Below are two photos of Rhett Hutchence posing with fans at a memorial for Michael. They are definitely the same type, i.e. Paleo-Atlantid. They have the same dark wavy hair, too. As for their older sister Tina, she has a different father. She was not originally a Hutchence, she was adopted by Kelland when he married her mother. By the way, I recently read of Michael's authorized biography (written by his mother and sister). Michael's mother notes that her parents immigrated from UK and that she is of English and Irish descent. There are also photos of her holding a newborn Michael the day they came home from the hospital. There is no mention of adoption whatsoever. Michael was no more non-white looking than Catherine Zeta-Jones or Colin Farrell and they are both, Welsh/Irish and Irish, respectively.

Most Australians are of English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh stock so there is nothing different between the Hutchence family and most Australians. Yet that look is not common in Australia. I also noticed that Michael and his father have distinct chin clefts. His sister didn't. You explained the reason for that. His brother seems to lack a cleft or has a very faint one from what I can see. Chin clefts are due to autosomal dominant genes. If one of your parents has a chin cleft, you will have one too.

I was going to cite Megan too. I think that in her case the Maori admixture is very evident. In some pics she does have very Polynesian features. Unfortunately she is undressed in most of them, but here's one pic that might help: I think you mean 1200 km or, alternatively, 1 200 000 m.
