Jean Saadeh - Lebanese actor and wrestler, born in 1940. He had a career full of local and international championships as he and his brother Andriyya (The Saadeh Brothers) were among the most well-known figures in Lebanon. Their love and passion for sports made them turn their home into a sports club. At age 16, Jean started to win awards and titles. To name a few, he gained the title of the champion of Arabs in 1957, and the world champion in 1970. He participated in 125 wrestling events in nine months, which put Lebanon on the map of world freestyle wrestling.
