 |
Juan Carlos Bonnin (born February 2, 1968, in Okinawa, Japan) was a popular Filipino matinee idol in the 1980s.[1]
He is best remembered for his roles in the movies Bagets, Ninja Kids, and Kamagong (with Lito Lapid). In fact, Bagets created a cult following among young Filipino movie fans, and has had a strong influence among the modern Filipino youth that still pervades up to this day.
Bonnin comes from a family of well-known showbiz personalities. His uncle, Bernard Bonnin married to Elvira González, were former actors. His cousins are former beauty queen/actress Charlene González (now married to actor Aga Muhlach) and former actor Richard Bonnin.
He retired from showbiz in 1988 and is currently a pastor of Hope for the World Christian Church and Missions in America living with his family.
