00:00Hola y bienvenidos a WatchMojo Español. Yo soy Fernando y hoy les presento a las estrellas de todas las nacionalidades que probablemente no sabías que tenían ascendencia latinoamericana.
00:12Número 10 Fergie
00:15La cantante y actriz estadounidense nació en California el 27 de marzo de 1975.
00:22She became particularly known thanks to being part of the Black Eyed Peas to later find success as a soloist.
00:37Although we know that she has a fairly combined ancestry, few remember that her great-grandmother is from Mexico.
00:44She herself has declared that she is proud of these origins and we love that she recognizes it.
00:50¡Hola! ¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? ¡Oh my God! ¡Qué hermosa! ¡Qué guapa!
00:56Fergie, we had some Latin contestants in this finale. I can't wait to have more. And you also have some Mexican roots. Talk to me about that.
01:04Yes, great-grandmother born in Guanajuato, Mexico. But excuse my accent, I'm sorry.
01:10Número 9 Nicole Richie
01:13Although the majority surely recognizes her for being the close friend of Paris Hilton and having been part of the The Simple Life program with her, not everyone knows much more about the socialite and now philanthropist Nicole Richie.
01:27Nicole Richie, singer, notorious party girl, and daughter of superstar Lionel Richie.
01:33What do these friends have in common besides fame, fortune, and white hot sex appeal?
01:39Although she is the adoptive daughter of Lionel Richie and his then wife Brenda Harvey, her natural father was called Peter Michael Escobedo, a Mexican musician who played briefly with Richie.
01:52You have to decide who's better at trimming bushes and who's a better daughter.
01:58I know that trick.
01:59At least give me the bush one.
02:00At least tell us who you were more excited about when they were born.
02:03Número 8 Carmelo Anthony
02:05What's up, AD? I'm Carmelo Anthony. Welcome to my home.
02:08When Carmelo was recognized as one of the most influential Hispanics by Business Magazine, he realized that almost none of his fans were aware of his Latin roots.
02:19I want to be a major part of one of those organizations that is pivotal in where the NBL goes.
02:26Kiam is an American basketball player who played 19 seasons in the NBA and the mix in his ancestry is simply incredible.
02:35In his past, there are African, Spanish, Puerto Rican, and Venezuelan roots, so we can say that he is the living example of a cultural crystal.
02:46I can't tell you to be easy. I know there'll be challenges.
02:51But if you want your son to have the best opportunity and you feel like it's not here, then take that chance.
03:02Número 7 Bella Thorne
03:04Yes, it's Bella Thorne, the Disney girl we met in Shake It Up as a dancer and who starred with Zendaya.
03:13After her incursion into the world of dance, she decided to become a soloist and has had a lot of success on her own, as she managed to enter number 86 in the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
03:32In addition to having won an award for nothing less than directing a, let's say, spicy movie.
03:44The beautiful actress has Cuban ancestry from her father, Delancey Reinaldo Thorne.
03:58Número 6 Raquel Welch
04:01Raquel Welch was a model and actress from the United States who had an interesting mix of Hispanic ancestry.
04:14Ah, Raquel.
04:21Her father was an engineer named Armando Carlos Tejada Urquizo of Spanish descent and direct relative of Livia Gayler Tejada, who was president of Bolivia.
04:32Have you never been to Bolivia? Have you always lived outside Bolivia?
04:40Although it is not evident due to her factions and her last name, in reality the latter took it from her first husband with whom she married before turning 20.
04:50Although they divorced, she decided to stay as Welch.
04:56Número 5 Alexis Bledel
04:59The actress, who became popular for having played the not so beloved Rory Gilmore in the 2000 series Gilmore Girls, is more Latin than she looks.
05:10Spanish is your first language. You're fluent in Spanish.
05:12It is my first language, yeah. I grew up speaking Spanish and I learned English in school.
05:17And I had a lot of, you know, most people don't realize that I speak Spanish because I look very white.
05:24Apparently, people don't think she speaks Spanish or even consider it, but in reality it is her mother tongue, no matter how strange it seems to the Latin community.
05:35Her mother was born in the United States, but she was raised in Mexico, while her father is Argentine.
05:41Do you know tango? Did your father listen to tango?
05:44When I spoke to him on Sunday, when I was flying here, he was at a tango show in Houston.
05:49He is a musician, he is a writer.
05:53Número 4 Ryan Lochte
05:55I'm Ryan Lochte and Tyler may know me as an Olympic swimmer. I've been to four Olympics and I've won 12 Olympic medals.
06:05Surely his name sounds very familiar to you and it is not for less.
06:09He is an American swimmer, one of the most awarded in history,
06:13as he has been an Olympic champion a humble amount of 39 times and has been crowned world champion.
06:20What few know about this Olympic is that his mother was born in Cuba,
06:24although she moved to the United States at a very early age and then had Ryan there.
06:29At least that way, his country was able to take advantage of so much talent.
06:33Hi, I'm Ileana Lochte, swimming coach and mother of Ryan Lochte, Olympic gold medallist.
06:42Número 3 Linda Carter
06:45Some may have already suspected it, just by the name of the first Wonder Woman.
06:50Daughter of Colby Carter and Juana Cordova, her mother and grandmother were educated in Chihuahua.
06:55As a child, she was a lifelong reader of superhero stories.
06:58Her spectacular beauty led her to have the justice for acting and singing.
07:03This beauty of Mexican descent was Miss United States in 1972 after winning Miss Arizona
07:10and almost immediately began to appear in television series.
07:14What a great crowd, I'm so happy to be here.
07:17Do you have Mexican blood?
07:19Yes, I have Mexican blood. My mother's name was Juanita Cordova.
07:24What few know is that Linda is the proud granddaughter and daughter of Mexicans from Chihuahua to northern Mexico.
07:31Although on several occasions she has mentioned this detail of her life, apparently very few fans have it in mind.
07:38Número 2 Mariah Carey
07:41It was not difficult to assume that Mariah had some kind of Latin American ancestry, especially with that name.
07:48My mother is Irish, my father is black.
07:51And his great grandmother was Venezuelan, so everyone was like, she's Venezuelan?
07:55It was easier for them to put me in a box, but no, I'm black and Irish.
07:58We know she had a childhood full of shortcomings and very complicated, but her roots are hardly mentioned.
08:05Her paternal grandfather's name was Francisco Roberto Núñez,
08:09renamed Frank Robert Carey to avoid problems and discrimination in the United States,
08:14a country to which she emigrated in search of better opportunities.
08:18The singer has also mentioned that she is proud to have a Latin ancestry.

08:45Número 1 Marilyn Monroe
08:48Yes, really, that iconic, sensual and conflictive Marilyn Monroe,
08:53who sang Happy Birthday Mr. President to JFK shortly before his death,
08:58whom we saw played by Ana de Armas in the Netflix series, had a very close relationship with Mexico.
09:05The news that Marilyn was in the city spread by the press the next day.
09:11And then, yes, curious and admirers came to the crossing of the insurgent and reform avenues.
09:17They stood in front of the hotel where the beautiful blonde stayed and waited there.
09:22Her mother, Gladys Pearl Baker, with whom she had a quite disastrous relationship,
09:27named her Norma Jean Mortenson and was born in Piedras Negras, Coahuila on May 27, 1902.
09:35Some time later, she moved to the United States in search of a better economic future
09:40that at least her daughter could enjoy for a while.
