He was born in Manila on August 20, 1939.
His parents were not married when he was born and were later married in 1940. In 2004, Poe's political rivals tried to derail his candidacy for the 2004 Philippine presidency when they attempted to disqualify him as the son of a non-Filipino mother.
He was the second of six siblings and it came from his brother Andy (born Fernando Poe Jr.), whose given name was used by Poe as his own business name to bank on the reputation of his father, who was a leading actor in his day. Conrad Poe, Poe's half-brother, Fernando Poe Sr.'s illegitimate son, and actress Patricia Mijares, was on the show.
Pou, the original spelling of the family surname, was plummeting from his paternal grandfather, playwright Lorenzo Pou, a Catalan immigrant from Majorca, Spain, who moved to mining and fishing in the Philippines.
Poe received his primary education at San Beda College, Lepanto, in 1953. He attended San Sebastian College for high school. He continued his studies at Mapua Institute of Technology and University of the East, where he took the course in Theater Arts.
Poe became the family's breadwinner after his father died of rabies at the age of 34. He dropped out of the University of the East during his sophomore year in order to help his family.

Lo' Waist Gang made him famous in 1956, and the film was such a hit that low-waist pants became a fad.
Poe, who was also known as 'FPJ' from his youth, appeared in a number of films in which he was depicted as the champion of the poor and downtrodden. D'Lanor and Ronwaldo Reyes produced films under his pseudonyms. Reyes' surname derives from Martha Reyes' surname, his paternal grandmother's.
