My wife only cares about Bradley Coopers blue eyes.

I of course knew of Frank Sinatra "Old Blue Eyes" and Paul Newman.

I'll guess 33.3% since I was a DJ (get it 33 & a 1/3)

We all have brown eyes until a mutation occurs. These with blue came out one person. So he must fathered a lot of children. Now I have brown eyes not that part of clan.

While blue eyes are less common than brown eyes, they are frequently found from nationalities located near the Baltic sea in northern Europe. It's estimated that approximately 8% of the world's population has blue eyes. Green Eyes 2%. My color 55%.

I think about 8% or less? I'm always surprised to see how many film actors have blues eyes. Seems far more than the general public.
