Growing up I would have never guessed he was half Asian. The half Asians I know (including me) the Asian features are so dominant. Most people never guess I'm half white.
In kindergarten during playtime my best friend and I would pretend we were cooking breakfast for our husbands Zach and Slater in the play kitchen. I'm 27 now. He's still a hottie.
His last name is so dutch, that you have to speak dutch if you want to pronounce it. When i found out that he is dutch and Indonesian, i freaked the F out. He is such a nice and handsome man, i will never forget how he portrayed zack Morris 🤗 nederlanders hebben talent❤
As a little boy back in the early 1990's, well, actually beginning in 1987 with "Good Morning Miss Bliss" which evidentally got converted to it's successor "Saved By The Bell", I used watch Zack, Screen, Lisa, and the gang grow up every Saturday Morning on NBC! Show brings back awesome memories from my childhood! A fun show to watch back in the day!
I remember reading he had to bleach his hair something like every 2 weeks to keep it that blonde. That terrible. It's amazing he still has hair on his head.
Yeah, especially when you compare him to Tom Felton, who had to dye his hair blonde or silver to play Malfoy in the HP movies, and now much of his hair is hanging on by a thread
I like that he doesn't try to diminish his Asian ancestry by saying "I'm only a quarter Asian". He isn't presenting DNA to genomicist, he's presenting his cultural and family background to people who are interested in him as a person/personality. Saying specifics like "I'm only part this and part that" is closer to saying "I'm not this or that", rather than "I am this AND that" ie a holistic addressing because it doesn't unnecessarily exclude parts of his background. Anyone "correcting" him in these comments that's his mom is half Dutch half Asian: She's still considered Asian. She was raised by a ("full") Asian mom, he was raised by a ("half") Asian mom. He probably grew up eating rendang. Let him call himself Asian.
Considering his mother was born and bred in Bali, she was definitely an Indonesian. That's her main culture and 50% of his. So what he says makes perfect sense. Her Dad may well have been more Indonasian than Dutch as he was based there. Nationality and culture are 2 different things, sometimes people forget about it.
Now it's kind of sad to know they had to constantly dye his hair to make him an all American boy. It must have been exhausting to suppress his Asian roots back then. But then in some ways paved the way for Kristen kruiek and James Melton to play more all American roles for teen centered dramas and comedy TV shows.
Everyone in the Netherlands eats rendabg tho lol. But in all seriousness. I call myself Dutch and African also, eventhough my mom is a. Micture of Cameroonian and Frwnch also, ahe mostly identifies as African
What's interesting is Mark admits that he's nothing like his character. Zack was the cool kid, Mark admits he simply acted out the way he saw others be in school. He literally acts out the cool kid. That's acting! Proper.
He was my first celebrity crush, good old Zach Morris. I'm 27 now so I was damn young when Saved By The Bell aired but I remember being glued to the tv when it came on. I loved that blonde hair, I was slightly crushed when I found out it was not his real color lol. Zach Morris, Benny from The Sandlot and Jean Claude Van Damme were my top three.
i was literally shocked to hear that he has indonesian ancestry but omg YEAAHHHHH INDONESIA REPRESENTS!! proud and MPG you still look as fine as those saved by the bell days
Nabila Syavika His father is Dutch .. his mother is indo.. indo were people with mixed european and native indonesian blood, during the 50's tens of thousands of them migrated to the Netherlands and also to the us. They said that at least a 1.5 million to speak native Dutch have indo blood in the Netherlands. In Australia and US there are at least 60 thousand people with indo blood.. Due to hundred years of colonisation. To give one example of a 'pure' Dutch with Indonesian blood: Mark Paul Gosselaar., Robin van Persie, van Halen brothers, dj don diablo, john heitinga, dutch politician geert wilders... the list goes on and on.
His mother is Balinesse from Bali Island. Dutch in Batavia since 1619-1942. Batavia (now Jakarta) is at Nederlandsche-Indie or Hindia-Belanda (now Indonesia). Jakarta is the Capitol City of Indonesia. Warm regards to Mark from Jakarta. I am Javanesse from Yogyakarta, city in Middle Java at Java Island.
I always loved the Zach Morris character growing up and that made me think of the name Zach as being the cool/good looking kid. I ended up naming my son Zach.
Wow, that's so interesting about his genetics. Genes are so weird. Siblings can look like twins or like they're completely different races. It's fascinating.
Besides that, southeast asian (malay) genes are not very strong. When they marry chinese their children will look very chinese, when they marry arabs their children will look arabs, when they marry white people, their children will be white etc
I'm Javanese Indonesia and my husband is from California. so we will give our baby name is AMEINDO that mean American Indonesian. and also the meaning of AMEINDO in France is caring person
Real funny, Preppy.

According to his podcast, yes - and he loves and agrees with it!

Too bad you can't have him internally
He's not good looking like he was on saved by the he'll
Same!
Evil Akuma STOP!
Zack Morris is trash!
Gosselaar was the perfect person to be Zack Morris. He really gave that character his life onscreen.
He looks like a mixture if chris Pratt and Robert downey jr
Wow this is blowing my mind
No just Chris Pratt I don’t really see rdj
A bit like young Keanu
I see more Chris Pratt and Paul Rudd
@@blairmcauley2282 his eyes looks kinda like Robert.
Zach was also a fucking warlock. The dude could stop time whenever he wanted.
+JJ Keller TIME OUT! T
+JJ Keller Right. Warlock. He wasn't a Time Lord because he didn't save any aliens.
he's been cute his whole life
And gay as fuck...
Totally agree
He has
He's not " gay". You sound like a jerk.

As a Flemish I loved to pronounce his name!
Awww. I love how excited he is about telling people his Mom is Indonesian.
I already knew that though! ;)
"I love how excited he is about telling people his Mom is Indonesia."
His mom is not a geographical area, you idiot.

Me too! Lols

I’m sorry but he’s trash...
I think he's very good looking but he's also funny and he was just kind of a " schemer ".

wow. Never would've guessed he's half Indonesian...
Me either but I see it a little now when I look at his eyes. Not very prominent but there is an " almond shape " to them.
Keturunan Indo-Belanda, ibunya sendiri blasteran Bali-Belanda dari generasi kolonial
@@Nona_dav genes work differently on people i guess. I'm full Indonesian yet ppl "accuse" me for being mixed all the time 😂
@@babyblues7608 hahah yes true!
He is NOT half Indonesian. When do people realise that we Indo's are not half Indonesians. We are Indo's ! ......en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo_people
No matter what other work he does or how many awards he wins for it, Mark-Paul Gosselarr’s name will always be synonymous with “Zack Morris.”
Yaaay, Indonesian represent!
Half indonesian represent
"Represent", lmao. So 2013
Not really represented in the show tho….he repped more like cool surfer type of white boy….was a good show
I love mark-Paul Gosselaar because as myself being half dutch is amazing absolutely amazing I’m not embarrassed to use it when I do
the way he talks is the same oh god
I love Saved by the bell it's such a great show
Memories....
Love him so much!! Love Mark Paul so much. 😊
I just can't get enough of this stuff.
te amo por siempre Zack Morris
I miss saved by the bell. 😊that was a really good show lisa and zack were my favorite on the show.
He's part Indo ? What?!?!?! Yay, an Indo actor!!!!
Wow so Zack Morris was half Dutch-half Indonesian all along! so cool!
He really bulked up for Pitch!
naturellebella he looks like a different person. he looks more Asian on Pitch too.
Big fan of Mark Gosselaar such a great actor.
Mi amor platonico de niña ❤ Bello Mark
Oml my mum is Indonesian and my dad is Dutch as well😂
My father is Indonesian and my mother is Dutch high five
I was in 6th grade or Jr high when this show came out..it was great raised home to see it.
Woof he aged pretty well if you ask me.
This made me so happy
I always loved the Zach Morris character growing up and that made me think of the name Zach as being the cool/good looking kid. I ended up naming my son Zach.
I named my son Brian-Anthony and I got the idea to have a hyphenated first name from Mark-Paul.❤
Mark Paul. Man, 12 Dates of Christmas is and always will be one of my favorite Goto Christmas films.
Mark Paul you're my favorite nowww☺️☺️
Love you mark😍❤
I didn't know he's part Indonesian OMG since i'm Indonesian i'm really happy!!
arashelyouri he looks so different and more Asian in Pitch
Must put a respect for those who still proud from where his/her parents came from.. or what blood of he/she is...😊
+Mark-Paul Gosselaar on His Time as Zack Morris
As alumni of history student who studied Dutch archives, I can confirm that Gosselaar is pronounce "khoselaar". 🇮🇩
His ancestors must have been part of the Dutch colonial empire in Indonesia.
He's sweedish
+I Smell Fresh Cash His father is Dutch, his mother is Dutch-Indonesian..

He is beautiful... 😍😍😍

All these years I've watched that show as a kid and I never knew that🤦🏻♂️
Wow for a non Dutch speaker he actually pronounced his name really well

But I think he knows a little bit of dutch maybe from his parents.
He had the best die job ever then and also now.
He is very handsome
