Actor John Leguizamo will serve as the Global Ambassador of the Arts for the Puerto Rican Day Parade Sunday but his dad says the actor is all Colombian, not Puerto Rican.John Leguizamo's�father is raining on his parade - by claiming he's not Puerto Rican.
The funnyman is set to make a star turn in Sunday's Puerto Rican Parade and has long said that his father is Puerto Rican and his mother is Colombian.
But now Leguizamo's estranged dad, Alberto, says the comedian is actually all-Colombian.
"It hurts me that [John] lies to the Puerto Ricans and doesn't stand behind his Colombian roots," Alberto Leguizamo told El Diario.
The "Ghetto Klown" star, who was raised in Jackson Heights, has been tapped as Global Ambassador of the Arts for the parade.
He said in a Daily News story Wednesday that his dad "comes from Aguadilla," in Puerto Rico - but Alberto said he was born in Colombia and doesn't have family in Puerto Rico.
