‘A dad like any other,’ son says of drug lord Pablo Escobar

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, March 20, 2010: Pablo Escobar may have been the world’s top drug lord and blamed for 15,000 murders, but to his son, he was “a dad like any other” who read stories and sang him to sleep.

When I had the chance to talk with my dad about his behaviour... I felt between a rock and a hard place because I wasn’t about to turn him in... it was like living with two different people,” Juan Pablo Escobar said in an interview at Mexico’s Guadalajara Film Festival.
