Can a son ever truly escape the shadow of his infamous father? Sebastián Marroquín, formerly known as Juan Pablo Escobar, has spent his life navigating this very question, striving to forge his own path while grappling with the legacy of Pablo Escobar.
Born Juan Pablo Escobar Henao on February 24, 1977, in Medellín, Colombia, Sebastián Marroquín’s life was anything but ordinary. As the son of Pablo Escobar, the notorious leader of the Medellín Cartel, his childhood was steeped in both unimaginable luxury and constant danger. He grew up in the opulent Hacienda Nápoles, alongside his younger sister Manuela Escobar, surrounded by exotic animals and extravagant displays of wealth – a stark contrast to the violence and fear that his father’s empire engendered. The death of his father in 1993 marked a turning point, forcing the then 16-year-old Juan Pablo to confront a new reality, one where he had to redefine his identity and find his place in a world that would forever associate him with his father’s crimes.
