*(On Wikipedia it says his mother is “a New Zealander of Estonian and Māori descent”  but I can’t find the source of that statement. The only other place it’s mentioned is on theapricity.com where it states that “His father is of Maori ancestry and his mother is Estonian.” Only the second statement seems to be partially true. I don’t know where they got this information from? The only thing Julian ever said about his ancestry is: “I look Māori and feel Māori”  and “Ever since I was young, I’ve grown up in a Maori environment.” )

*(I think that maybe Tammy doesn’t/didn’t know that his mother is part Samoan/Tongan and not Māori. To be fair he looks more Samoan. The Māori can’t come from his dad’s side or he would’ve stated that, besides that his dad looks quite white. His half brother Julian Arahanga does have Māori ancestry and mentioned that they grew up in a Māori community. It could be that Tammy’s mother grew up Maori so considers herself Māori.)

Maxim Baldry is a British actor. He has also been credited as Max Baldry. His mother is food author Karina Baldry.

He has said:

My mum’s Russian, I grew up speaking Russian as my first language… I think it’s quite hard to place me, because of that thing – ‘where could he be from? Well, he could be [from] anywhere.’ And that’s not a great thing. I can’t really play an English person, even though I’m English, I can’t play a Spanish person either because I’m not Spanish and I can’t speak Spanish… I mean in theory I can play Russian, but I don’t look Russian… It hasn’t made life easy. It’s hard adjusting to your mental process to that of the life of an actor, because it’s just so temporary.
