Personal life
changeMakoun likes to be referred to as Jean II since his father, Jean Sr., is also a footballer, after revealing it at a press conference.[3][4] Makoun is married and has four children, including Jean III Makoun, who followed his footstep to be a footballer.[5] In April 2011, Makoun was given a compassionate leave by Aston Villa to return to Cameroon after his wife and one of his children were involved in a car crash.[6]
In addition to speaking French, Makoun also speaks English, learning the language from his time at Villa Park.[7] In March 2012, he was fined for parking illegally from his time at Olympiacos.[8]
