Juan d'Ors was born in Madrid, Spain, December 8, 1957. His grandfather was the philosopher and art critic Eugeni d'Ors. He is the son of Juan Pablo d'Ors Pérez, a humanist doctor, and María Luisa Fuhrer, a philologist. He is a singer, musician, actor, writer, film-maker, and “Tintin” expert (“Tintinologist”).
In April 1984, he published an ethic and aesthetic manifesto on Tintin´s style “ligne claire” (clear line) , in the Madrilenian postmodernist magazine La Luna. The text caused controversy and anticipated a new polemic emerging in October on the occasion of “Tintin Imaginary Museum”, exhibition organized by Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona.
His novels Belisa y el explorador de almas and No podrás ser feliz were both successively selected in the Premio Planeta de Novela (Planeta Prizes) last vote in 1984 and 1985. However they were never released. Most of d´ Ors abundant and continuous narrative work written between his childhood and marriage still remains unpublished.
In 1985 he started working as a voiceover actor. In 1988 he published his essay Tintin, Hergé… y los demás, which is considered today as a precursor text and one of the best written synthesis on the narrative and aesthetic work of the Belgian master. The book was reprinted in 1989.
In 1990 he married Mónica Rabasa who gave birth their only son, Jorge.
In 1991, he directed Spanish versions dubbing and took part as a singer and actor in series and films for several years.
The translation of the play Pour un oui ou pour un non by the French writer Nathalie Sarraute was published in 1994 and welcomed by specialized critics as Lorenzo López Sancho, in ABC (newspaper). Being the first Spanish version of the text, an adapted Mexican version enriched with Juan d´Ors notes was known years later in that country.
