Why do I look foreign? Let's examine my heritage. My parents are not English people. My father is from Montreal in Canada, and both my mother's parents were from Hungary. I am therefore a ‘Canary'. I consider myself British. I have only visited Hungary and Canada once.
Michael's eyes are often portrayed as an Asian trait in the media, and are sometimes jokingly described as a Chinese or Japanese. He often uses his looks for comic purposes, having said that when smiling, he looks like a fat Chinese man, and that he is often mistaken for being Chinese. In Life and Laughing: My Story, he wrote:
Not only was I a big baby, I was also remarkably oriental in appearance. Nobody really knows why I looked like Mr Miyagi from The Karate Kid and, let's be honest, my appearance has been the source of quite a lot of material for me. A midwife asked my mother if my father was Chinese or Japanese. My grandparents thought my parents took home the wrong baby. Questions were asked about my mother's fidelity. My father beat up our local dry cleaner, Mr Wu.

And about visiting his friend while in university, and encountering his roommate:
I reached the door and knocked. Within moments, I was being viewed through the peep-hole, as I heard a Scottish voice from the other side of the door holler, ‘It's Hugh Grant, but he's all Chinesey.'
