<p>John Abraham is a Bollywood (Hindi Film Industry of India) actor and a former model. He currently lives in Mumbai, India.</p>
<p>John Abraham was born in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India on December 17, 1972, the 6 feet and 1 inch hunk is one of the more successful models in India. John's father is a Malayali from Alwaye, Kerala in India. His mother is Phiroza Irani, from the Parsi community.

<p>In the year 1999, Abraham won the Gladrags Manhunt Contest and therefore qualified to go to Singapore for Manhunt International. Here John won the second place and this kick started his modeling career.</p>
<p>Unlike usual Bollywood heroes who prefer romantic or action debut movies, which are gain male-oriented he made an entry with a crime-thriller in 2003 called Jism.
