I always wondered that about him. And please don't call me a racist for asking such a question, because it's not racist at all, seeing that i'm not insulting jewish people.

You're not being racist; I always thought that he's probably Jewish

People get that impression because he sounds intellectual and cosmopolitan. His mother was an archaeologist and his father, a museum director. His background is mainly Scottish Protestant.

To be totally correct:
Scottish descent on his mother's side.
English descent on his father's side.
Both protestant.

You are not born a religious person or automatically a subscriber to a particular course of belief system.
Religion is not genetic. You are born free and innocent ready to learn everything, then your parents proceed to mess you up!
(not you personally, but generally speaking of course)

I assume the OP meant ethnically Jewish. If your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish. Belief in God doesn't factor in; for instance, my partner came out of a Jewish vagina, therefore he's Jewish. He's also an atheist, and that fact doesn't force a contradiction. There are plenty of Jewish atheists out there.

Maybe you think that because he resembles Hellboy who is played by another actor who happens to be Jewish?

He looks Jewish and Adolf is a Jewish name.

There are some historians who said he did have a Jewish grandfather, or something along those lines.

His father (Alois) changed his name to Hitler from "Schicklgruber". So, he probably had jewish ancestry.

Adolf is a German name, not a Jewish name. And no, he wasn't Jewish obviously.

He may have had a Jewish grandfather. His nephew, William, threatened to blab many of the Hitler family secrets.

He looks Jewish and Adolf is a Jewish name.
Hitler wasn't Jewish.
All those theories were debunked.
