Pablo Escobar Wanted to Protect His Only Son, So He Hired Hitmen for the Job

Key Points:

• The Hulu series "Dear Killer Nannies" stars John Leguizamo as Pablo Escobar and focuses on the life of Escobar’s son, Juan Pablo Escobar, highlighting his experience growing up amid his father's criminal legacy rather than the drug lord’s criminal activities.
• Juan Pablo Escobar, born in 1977, was aware of his father’s illicit drug empire from a young age and was protected by hired assassins disguised as nannies to ensure his safety during violent conflicts.
• After Pablo Escobar's death in 1993, Juan Pablo and his mother fled to Argentina, where he changed his name to Sebastián Marroquín, studied architecture, faced legal troubles, and later became a public speaker advocating against drug gangs and for drug legalization.
• Juan Pablo has criticized the Netflix series "Narcos" for factual inaccuracies and has authored books, including a memoir and an illustrated comic book, to offer a more respectful and accurate portrayal of his father and his own childhood.
• "Dear Killer Nannies," based on Juan Pablo’s memoirs and co-created with showrunner Sebastián Ortega, is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+, offering a unique perspective on Pablo Escobar’s family life through the eyes of his son.
