There seems to be some back and forth and confusion by some editors on this. The fact is as Karyo has said, indeed several times in discussing his music (yes he has has realized an album and tours with a band in addition to his acting) Karyo father was Sephardic Jew living in Istanbul and his mother was an ethnic Greek.
He discusses directly his Greek background in several interviews, eg : http://www.programme-tv.net/programme/culture-infos/r5099-comme-dans-la-chanson/915118-a-athenes/ http://programme-tv.linternaute.com/9112-comme-dans-la-chanson/196299-a-athenes/
I know a bit about his biography because my mother was Sephardic from Turkey (Izmir) and my father Greek Orthodox, and both also immigrated to France.72.75.35.172 (talk) 01:05, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Changed his birth city from Constantinople to Istanbul, since the town has been internationally recognized as Istanbul since the 30's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.228.55.177 (talk) 20:35, 5 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
