"Chanan Colman is a laid back guy, raised by a Jewish mother in Denmark, Copenhagen, and that’s me," he told Sports Rabbi in a 2017 interview. "My mother moved from Israel to Denmark at the age of 9 when my grandmother got a job there so she moved at a very young age. She met my father who was traveling the world at the time and ended up staying there. Copenhagen is an awesome great city; it’s very easy to be a kid in some parts of Denmark."
Colman speaks three languages. "My first language is Danish and when I was very young I spoke Hebrew. So in total, Danish, Hebrew and English," he told the outlet. "Unfortunately," he continued, "I was teased in kindergarten about Hebrew because it sounded funny, so when I was younger I put my fingers in my ears and refused to listen. Eventually my mom gave up, though now we both regret that very much."
