Lin-Manuel Miranda calls his dad a ‘relentless motherf–ker’ in documentary

Lin-Manuel Miranda describes his father, Luis Miranda, as a “relentless motherf—ker” in a new documentary about his dad.

Siempre Luis” profiles Luis, a Puerto Rican-born political operative who has worked with everyone from Ed Koch, Chuck Schumer and Hilary Clinton. At a virtual premiere last week, the “Hamilton” creator explained the type of person his father is by saying, “There are two types of people in the world — those who get their homework done on a Friday afternoon or on the bus ride on Monday morning.

“I’ve always done my homework on Monday morning. My dad is the one who does his homework on Friday and asks for more homework.”

Luis, 66 — who suffered a serious heart attack last year — shows no sign of slowing down, much to the chagrin of his wife, and poo-poohs any suggestions to take it easy.

“I’ll slow down when I’m dead,” he told Page Six.

Luis confesses that he was worried when his Tony-winning son told him of his plans to make a career in the theater.

“I was worried sick,” he said. “I knew it was a tough road that he’d decided for himself but I was going to do anything I could to help him.”

Luis, who is a shrewd political operator, gives current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio a surprisingly high grade.

“I give him a B. You need to curve the grade. Grades don’t happen in the abstract,” he explained.

“Siempre Luis” premieres on HBO on October 6 at 9 p.m. EST.
