Actor Johnny Theodoridis revealed his real name and the story behind the change. In an interview on the show "Kalytera Arga," he explained that his name is Jean-Pierre Kairouz, but he decided to use Johnny Theodoridis, taking his mother's last name.

As he mentioned, Giannis Dalianidis had advised him not to use his real name, as he believed he would be considered a "show-off." Theodoridis also spoke about his childhood in Lebanon and how his parents met.

Additionally, he mentioned his family, saying that he has three daughters, one from his marriage to Vicky Poulaki and two with Sylvia Dimitrakopoulou, whom he married in 2015. He stated that if he had not met his wife, he would not have had more children.
