Manganiello has spoken in the past about his Armenian heritage. In a February episode ofFinding Your Roots, theMagic Mikeactor spoke about how his great-grandmother survived the Armenian Genocide last century.
Discussing his traumatic family history onthe PBS show, Manganiello shared that his great-grandmother managed to escape after being shot at the beginning of the genocide in 1915, leaving her husband and seven children behind, who had been shot and killed.
“She laid there unmoving and the Turks left the house and left the eighth child, who was an infant in the crib, to starve to death, which is just the way that they did business,” he explained.
“There were these death marches where they would just handcuff, chain the Armenians together and march them out to the desert, and release the Kurds, give them military coats, horses and guns, to then go do what they wanted with their mortal enemies, the Armenians," he said. “She escaped that.”
“She gave birth to a very blonde, half-German child,” the actor said.
