Juan has said:
[my Narcos character Carlos Lehder] is half German, half Colombian, and I’m half German, half Peruvian, so it’s very similar genetically, and I think that helped in a way.
Juan’s maternal grandfather was Fuad Salomón Marcos (the son of José Salomón and Emilia Marcos/Murcus). Fuad was born in Sicuani, Peru, to Arab Palestinian parents, who were from Bethlehem.
Juan’s maternal grandmother is named Carmela “Carmelita” Alvarez. Carmela was born in Sicuani, Peru.
