Taylor Zakhar Perez is an American actor. He is known for his roles in The Kissing Booth sequels, as well as the films 1Up and Red, White & Royal Blue; and on the series Minx.
His sister has stated that their father is of part Hungarian ancestry, and their mother is of Mexican and Croatian descent. He was partly raised in Chesterton, Indiana.
Taylor’s paternal grandfather was James Joseph Zakhar (the son of James Zakhar and Mary/Marie Ambrus/Ambros/Ambrose). Taylor’s grandfather James was born in Illinois, to Hungarian parents. Taylor’s great-grandfather James was the son of Daniel Zakhar.
Taylor’s paternal grandmother was Marlene Joan Nudo (the daughter of Carmen/Carman Nudo and Marie/Mary Pistello). Marlene was born in Illinois. Carmen was the son of Italian parents, Anthony Nudo and Angeline Lavaroni/Iavarone. Marie was also the daughter of Italian parents, Giuseppe “Joe”/Joseph Pistello/Piscitelli and Camella/Carmella/Carmela “Minnie” Danadio/Donvida, who was born in Cosenza, Calabria.
Taylor’s mother may be descended from Bernard O’Brien and Ann/Anna Ausec.

I believe Taylor’s mother is descended from Bernard O’Brien and Ann/Anna Ausec. His mother appears to at some point have had the surname O’Brien, and also has some relation to the Robert O’Brien in the obituary above (uncle?). I’m not sure if O’Brien was her birth surname, but since the Ausec family is Croatian it checks out.
This is a complete lie. It says everywhere online that he is of Middle Eastern and Mexican descent.
Why does it matter what it says online? The point of this website is to prove backgrounds with facts and ancestors. Do you have the names of these Middle Eastern ancestors?
Ethnicelebs is hardly a reputable and legitimate website. This site is the only place that mentions his so-called “Hungarian, Croatian, and Italian” ancestry.
And who the hell are you, exactly?
The question is, who the hell are you to be asking me such an idiotic question? Don’t worry about who I am, worry about yourself. Scary ass.
@Admin
Is there a way to block people? I can’t stand people who think they have a right to treat others however they want.
If there is no way to block someone, can you (Admin) please block Oaken05 for me?
Stop spamming the threads with this bull.
His mother has to be Mexican: https://edailybuzz.com/2020/07/24/taylor-zakhar-perez-age-birthday-parents-height-net-worth-siblings-girlfriend-wiki/
She seems to be part Amerindian definitely
About the Middle Eastern rumour, probably Zakhar sounded as such to some when it’s Hungarian in fact.
I have already reported you for harassment.

I have reported you for harassment.
Ethnicelebs does its research so do your research before coming. The site isn’t perfect but the people here do their research

Thank you for finding the original source rather than just copy-pastes in various articles. However, I don’t think it’s clear that he mentioned Middle Eastern as part of his own background; the “that’s my background” could just as well be referencing only the Mexican rather than both, especially since he only talks about Hispanic people both before and after he mentions Middle Eastern.
What’s clear is that he at least has no Middle Eastern ancestry on his father’s side. And if he had some on his mother’s side I doubt his sister would leave that part out in her video and only call her “Mexican-Croatian”. Doesn’t her words count too?
