Personal life
Lattanzi was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, the son of Jeanette (née Slowikowski) and Charles Paul Lattanzi. His father is a maintenance foreman of Italian descent, while his mother is of Polish ancestry. He graduated from Benson Polytechnic High School in 1977.
While filming Xanadu, Lattanzi met Olivia Newton-John, whom he married in 1984. The couple has one daughter, Chloe Rose Lattanzi, born on January 17, 1986. By 1992, his acting career was largely over, and he took a job as a construction worker for a homebuilding company in California. Lattanzi and Newton-John moved to their ranch in Australia in 1993 so that he could audition for the new soap opera, Paradise Beach. He won a six-month contract for the show.
In 2008, Lattanzi briefly appeared in the MTV reality series Rock the Cradle, supporting his daughter Chloe (a contestant on the show). That same year, Lattanzi—a lifelong environmentalist—was reported to be living off the grid near Malibu, California.
