Green eyes = artistic disposition?

[SpankyHam]

I was watching a tv show and it occurred to me that quite a few actors seem to have green eyes. I'm just curious if anybody else has noticed this or if you have green eyes do you have any artistic talents? I have blue eyes and while I can be quite creative when building cars ( my job ), things like drawing or music I have no talent for. My parents both had blue eyes, my father was pretty talented with pencil sketches but my mother had no artistic talents that I know of.

I don't think green eyes, or any other color has any relevance to talent. We're all individuals.

The association you've made is a coincidental correlation with no causation.

Having green eyes does not predispose you to have artistic abilities any more than having purple hair makes you more likely to crash your car.

Yes a lot of actors do have green eyes! I have noticed that! Its also because we tend to notice green eyes a lot more than other eye colors. Having green eyes is actually a rare thing! Only 2% of the worlds population have them! (of course thats still quite a bit knowing how many humans we have )

I have green eyes and so does my mother. We are both very artistic and creative but I dont think that entirely comes from us having green eyes. There are actually a lot of myths online about green eyes, such as "theyre more unique" or "they love better" etc. So maybe this artistic quality has fallen somewhere in that category? Of course who knows for sure, but I dont think eye color plays into traits. Even though I would love it! Would make sense a lot for myself haha. Anyways! Theres my info and 2 cents

It could also mean that casting directors are more inclined to cast people with green eyes. I know that green eyes can be very striking.

Agreed!!!

Another thing to consider. The general population includes "a lot" of people with green eyes. I would bet that if you did a statistical study, you'd find that actors have about the same number of green-eyed people in their midst as any other category, including "everyone."

That's exactly what a brown-eyed person would say.

Yes, and a blue-eyed person, a hazel eyed person, and a green-eyed person.

Not sure what your point was.

It's a joke

A lot of actors wear coloured contacts or get their eyes changed in post-production but I'd reckon if you took a group of TV/movie actors and a comparison group of average people, you'd find more blue and green-eyed people in the actors group. Just a hunch so nothing to back this up, haha, but I think actors are often chosen for striking or unique features and light eyes tend to be considered one of them, just like I bet you'd find more blonde women in an actor group than a random sample. Also TV & movies are whiter than the general population and thus you'd see more light eyes since that's more common in white people.

Agree, totally. And of course "striking features" has nothing to do with "artistic ability."

Sometimes exactly the opposite....

 

[Nordling]

Sometimes exactly the opposite....

Well, you can find lots of people with "striking features" who are also talented...but is there a correlation? Bunyons? Large earlobes? Nonsense.
