Who is Miguel on 'Claim to Fame' related to?

Fortunately, Miguel was marked safe from Claim to Fame Season 3's first elimination. Due to this, he's able to keep us guessing about his celebrity relative for longer. Ahead of the Season 3 premiere, Miguel provided some clues about his celebrity relative while sharing two truths and a lie.

Miguel's clues are as follows:

• My celebrity relative is my: Grandfather
• My celebrity relative is best known for being an: Actor
• The biggest award my celebrity relative has won: Oscar

Miguel's truths and one lie are still a secret because he is still in the competition. Still, based on what he said and his looks, fans think they know which Oscar winner he calls "Paw Paw."

Miguel's celebrity relative might be Patrick Swayze, Mario Lopez, or Lou Diamond Phillips.

After seeing his clues, fans took to the Claim to Fame Instagram page to share their theories on who the relative might be. The top guesses include Patrick Swayze , Mario Lopez , and Lou Diamond Phillips .

Patrick Swayze was an actor known for his roles in Dirty Dancing , Ghost , and Red Dawn . He died of pancreatic cancer in September 2009.

Mario Lopez, an actor and entertainment correspondent who got his start on Saved By the Bell , is also a popular choice, though the 50-year-old celeb is likely not Miguel's grandpa. There's also actor Lou Diamond Phillips, known for his roles in La Bamba and Courage Under Fire . While we can't deny Miguel and Lou's resemblance, Lou has never won an Oscar like the rest of the guesses.

More guesses for Miguel’s celebrity relative include:

• Cory Feldman
• Pedro Pascal
• Tony Curtis
• George Lopez
• Sean Connery
