Demián Bichir is a Mexican actor. He is the son of actors Alejandro Bichir (Alejandro Bichir Batres) and Maricruz Nájera (María de la Cruz Nájera Botello).
It appears that Demián’s grandparents’ surnames were “Bichir”, “Batres”, “Najera”, and “Botello”.
There are various claims on the internet that Demián has Lebanese ancestry. These claims likely stem from his surname, “Bichir”, sounding like it could have an Arab origin. However, no evidence has been produced that Demián has Lebanese ancestry, and some families with the surname “Bichir” have lived in Mexico since at least the 1700s.
