John Lequizamo claims to be an extra in Madonna's Borderline video - but he lies

This man has always been a liar. He went around claiming to be Puerto Rican for decades, only to find out that he was 100% Colombian.

He also played the changeling prince in the 1935 film version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Does he have George Santos syndrome?

"Borderline" IS a cultural touchstone of the time. But why admit being that closely involved with Madonna? Professionally or otherwise? Not a flex.

Why did OP replace Leguizamo's g with a q? Not once, but twice.

What's he trying to cover up? And is Madonna behind it all?

He is insufferable and has been forever. I find his personality repugnant, although I admittedly wanted to fuck the shit out of him when he was in his prime. He was a hot piece of ass once upon a time.

He had a hot ass but he couldn’t lie forever.

It’s to throw off search engines when celebrities and their publicists Google themselves or their clients.

He's a chronic liar, but goddamn was he hot.

R9 That’s all well and good until he breaks into your house, shaves your dog, takes a shit in your bed, smashes all your electronics with a hammer, and then waits in a hallway closet until you get home.

what a pest

At least he chose one of the best Madonna songs for his little white lie.

He gets 98% naked in the 2002 meth movie, Spun. You can even see his thick pubes. I've always found him hot.

He's hot

I’d still fuck him even if he’s a pathological liar

I do not find him attractive at all. And usually I whore for liars.

Is his penis as small as the rest of him?

He and Rosie Perez should mud wrestle for the coveted title Most Annoying Latino.

Maybe he was riffin’, improv-ing, like comedians do when they get together and say ridiculous stuff.

Borderline... indeed.

He was my neighbor in Loisaida on 7th Street between C&D for two years. He bought a Brownstone that a friend had owned. He didn’t really interact with anyone on the block. Not that anyone cared. R1 has it wrong. His mother is Puerto Rican. Something he hid from his fans for years. That alone tells you he’s an asshole. Rosie Perez is another piece of work from the hood. Can’t say I’m a fan of either one of them but his one-man shows were funny as hell. I have yet to understand her appeal.

[quote]His mother is Puerto Rican. Something he hid from his fans for years.

I guess the infamous DNA test was wrong, then.

I honestly don’t know what you're referencing, r22.

[quote][R1] has it wrong. His mother is Puerto Rican. Something he hid from his fans for years.

According to Wikipedia:

[quote]Research by the genealogy show Finding Your Roots indicated that Leguizamo does not have Puerto Rican, Italian, and Lebanese ancestry, as he has sometimes stated (the latter of which he claimed through his maternal grandfather).[9][1][10][11][12][13] His family is Colombian, and a DNA test found that his genetic ancestry includes Indigenous, European (especially Iberian), and some African roots.[1]

At any rate, Leguizamo was born in Colombia and his family moved to NYC when he was still under 5.

Leguizamo has never been believable. He’s a POS.

He used to work out at my gym years ago - 19th Street gem between 5th and 6th in Mnahattan. He would jog on the treadmill next to me. I always admired how he was able to keep his body tight as he aged. And to be fair, some people are told something by their parents for years as far as their ancestry that isn't true at all. All my life I believed I was part native American - everyone back to my grandmother said it. I twas just a given for forty years. Then I got a DNA test - zero native american.

Leguizamo claimed to be Puerto Rican, because he was ashamed of being Colombian, which had a bad reputation when he was young (late 20th century).

Why would you be ashamed to be Colombian? It seems really weird

I’m now in my 30th year of watching John Leguizamo not quite catch on.

R27 Native American even if you have it does not show up on DNA tests, period.

Native American DNA

What a weird liar.

He looked good here!

Oh wow that’s totally how I hold mine.

R21 His mother also claimed to be Puerto Rican? Maybe that’s why JL claims Puerto Rican ancestry on his dad’s side — because his mom is a goddamn liar!

R21, what can you say about Rosie?? I like how she bashes J Lo.

Madonna looked great in that video.

This is more horrendous than Gaza.

My great-grandparents are from Gaza.

I saw his one man show on Broadway in 2003. It was just him talking about his relationship ships and sexual hangups. Was kind a dull.

He was very cute and fuckable when younger. A bit of a shrimp.

R2, that's not John. But he was in Los Olvidados

Does John have big meat like those columbian twinks on Chaturbate?

I don't see why he'd be ashamed of his Colombian heritage?

Every time I see him in something I cringe, instead of elevating the material he brings it down.

Ha, deep cut, R2!

R27, Liz Warren, give it up, nobody believes you anymore.

I was an extra in "Borderline" too!

He was at his hottest in Summer of Sam. Many a load was busted when he deeply leaned out the window to scream at the “killer” in his tighty whities.

SOS nudes Adrien Brody massive bulge too

He’s a psycho and nobody should hire him. He’s been all “wah wah Im Puerto rican and I suffered prejudice” and he has no puerto rican heritage at all. It was impossible for him not to know that. All 4 of his grandparents and both parents were born in Columbia, as was he.

So there’s no basis whatsoever for claiming he was Puerto Rican, Italian or Lebanese, all of which he claimed. His grandfather is a wealthy Colombian landowner

He claimed he was attacked all the time when he walked in a park or down a street because he was Latin. In Jackson heights, which had plenty of Latin inhabitants. “I had to defend myself all the time.” From who? Real puerto ricans?

He even went to live with his family in Columbia when he was a teenager. He’s always known he was 100% Colombian

He’s another Donald Trump, lying his ass off about who he is and how tough he had it coming from a wealthy family,

He should get the Carlos Mencia/Buffy Ste Marie treatment.

PS - He was living in Columbia with relatives when he was 14 years old.

[quote] His mother was Puerto Rican, something he hid from his fans

Erm, no.

“Before this discovery, Leguizamo had claimed that he was Puerto Rican on his father's side, which was one of the reasons he was selected as the Puerto Rican Day Parade Global Ambassador of the Arts,[14] and marched in the parade on June 12, 2011.[15] It was determined that Leguizamo's maternal lineage includes the 16th-century Spanish conquistador Sebastián de Belalcázar, as well as Jerónimo Betuma, a 17th-century indigenous Colombian of noble birth.

[quote] Why would you be ashamed to be Colombian? It seems really weird

He was on the scene before Sofia Vergara made it acceptable.

Colombia was narco central to the US hive mind with drug lords and lawless shit hole cities. Yes it had a bad reputation back then.

R46, he was the best part of To Wong Foo!

R56 I think it’s more about JL being the descendant of wealthy Colombian landowners hanging out with urban Puerto Ricans, so he assumed their identity to be more street popular, and to earn more oppression points in his stand-up act.

R53, was he protesting at an encampment?

Lost in the borderline

Feel the beat is mine

Dancing in the moonlight

Gonna take my time

John Lequizamo

Claimed he's in video

But he's just a phony

Playing a role

He says he's Puerto Rican

Tough as can be

But he's from Colombia

Born into luxury

Aristocracy's his game

Pretending to be real

But in the borderline

He's just another deal

[Verse 2] He tried to fool us all

With his fancy facade

But I see through his lies

It's all a big fraud

A rich boy pretending

To be from the streets

But in the borderline

He'll face his defeat

Uh, he also claimed in a tv interview that it was his MOTHER who was Puerto Rican. I know because I watched that interview, r54. He also claimed to be from the “Boogie Down Bronx” and how the Irish-American bullies in the neighborhood would beat him up. But according to the same Wiki entry that you’re getting your information from he grew up in Queens. He’s a clearly a pathological liar. I am not.

Wait... why in the universe would he lie about being a random kid in a 40-year-old music video?

R62, some kind of personality disorder.

This is my last post about this fronting SICK fake ass bitch piece of shit but he was just on The View repeating the lie that he has Indigenous and African DNA. 🤥🖕

R64, it reminds me of something. Back in the day, a lot of rock and pop stars would claim they grew up in poverty/lower-class to show "street cred", even though many of them were middle/upper-middle class, in reality. Now, the new thing is to brag that you are indigenous. Since it's something certain people fetishize.

I don't know about African, but how could someone whose family has been in Colombia for about five hundred years *not* have Inidgenous DNA? R54 quotes from Wikipedia about a specific Indigenous ancestor of his.

r66 the upper class Spaniards tended not to mix with the Indigenous people. This is true of all Latin American countries. The upper classes in Latin American countries are mostly of pure Spanish heritage to this day.

Conversely, the English in North America didn't really intermarry with the indigenous women at all, from the highest classes to the lowest classes.

I hid in that attic with Anne Frank.

But, R67, according to Wikipedia Henry Louis Gates's show did trace Leguizamo's ancestry to an Indigenous person. And in any case, would he even be of such elite lineage that in 500 years there's no intermarriage at all with mestizos in any of his family lines?

R66, the sense I get from the Colombian-Americans that I know is that many are descendants from well-off families in the old country and are quite proud of their heritage. R58's explanation definitely makes the most sense.

Colombians are also notoriously proud of their Spanish being the crispest, cleanest, purest, best-enunciated Spanish. Did JL take on a Caribbean Spanish accent as part of his act?

Note to self. r71. Stop talking. Full stop. At least about this prick.🤭

Strange lie and easily to prove it was not him. No one believes he was 14 in 1984. He would have been more believable if he said he was the mole on her upper lip.

Whoops. I meant r70. Time for a pudding cup and a nap.

Sorry, R75, I'm still curious why people here are so insistent that this guy has no indigenous ancestry in his background, whatever upper-class Colombians may claim about their ethnic "purity."

R76, most Colombians likely have a mix of Spanish, Andean and coastal indigenous, and African roots -- to varying degrees.

What is about lying men that the media loves to give them a pass? Elizabeth Holmes wen5 to court and git her ass clapped in jail pretty quickly, but Elon Musk makes millions and poses dancing in front of whatever podium he’s grabbed and he’s demanding a $50B bonus while he’s pumping his Tesla stock with lies.

I don’t think DL is insisting John L doesn’t have indigenous blood…just that he lied that was a poor Puerto Rican getting beat up by Irish kids in the bronc when he’s really a rich Columbian liar who grew up in Jackson Heights (Queens).and spent teen years in Columbia because he couldn’t hack it in NY.

Btw for those who don’t know, Queens and Brooklyn are on Long Island and The Bronx is part of the mainland United States. The Bronx is the only borough that’s part of the mass continent. The other boroughs are on islands.

He was very sexy in his prime

I always get him confused with that other guy

He was never sexy. He’s always been a goofy looking attention whore

Who cares about this bitch?

“ [R62], some kind of personality disorder.”

I’m guessing a borderline one…

He's sexy enough. But he's a "scream and disturb the neighbors" type.
