Personal life
Vinladen is named after Osama bin Laden. Vinladen has a brother named Sadam Huseín, a misspelling of Saddam Hussein's name.[3] His father wanted to name Osama's younger sister George Bush, but didn't do it because she was a girl.[3]
Vinladen said of his unusual name: "There is a person called Hitler also in Peru. Jesus saved the world and there are Jesuses who do harm. Because there is an Osama who killed people, I don't think there has to be a law about the name. It draws a lot of attention, from what I see."[4]
