Who are Jesse Johnson’s parents?
Jesse Wayne Johnson, 41, was born to American actors Don Johnson and Patti D’Arbanville on December 7, 1982, in Los Angeles, per People. His father Don, 74, is famous for starring in films and TV shows including Miami Vice, Knives Out and Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, while his mother Patti D’Arbanville, 72, was famous for being one of artist and filmmaker Andy Warhol’s muses. Johnson and D’Arbanville never married, and Jesse is Don’s firstborn child.
Per People, Don struggled with drug and alcohol addiction in the 1970s, but it was the arrival of Jesse that made him change his ways.
“I walked into the breakfast room one morning and the sun was shining and the birds were singing, and Patti was feeding the baby,” Don told People in 1984. “I came staggering in and sat down and looked at them, and she looked at me and I knew that if I didn’t do something she was going to leave. So I said, ‘Patti, I’m a drunk and a drug addict, and I’m going to do something about it’.”
